Nope, the 'Cat's are levels of write-offs, not just claims.

This is the reason you were right to not pay the excess mate, you would be out of pocket for months and, in frustration, you probably would've ended up going 50/50 to finish it.

I'd get more quotes than what you've got though, and include EVERYTHING. If you're saying that the boot isn't opening properly then it needs fixing and if the splitter is bust because his crash forced the car onto the curb then it's included as well.

I would have thought the Police could intervene to ensure the guy takes the correct action once they have received an admission - otherwise what's the point of him admitting it!?!

Another "update" if you could call it one

Been on the phone to Albany Assistance who are chasing up the Third Party Insurance to get me my money, they now have Pictures of the damge to his car and mine and a Qoute for repairs to my car they are also now in touch with the police to get the report but this could take weeks according to them im sure theyll have more lucl than i have trying to get the report from the officer in charge of my case as hes been no help hes never got back to me at all left him 3 messages to get back to me !

On an upside my mates dad whos a Police Officer siad hed be able to take over the case before he Retires (next month) and hopefully get me everything i need to get this going alot faster and get my car sorted out ! Phoning him tomoz to hopefully get everything started.....

Thought id let folk know case ne one cares ! ;)

You'll be pleased to know that if the that geezer doesn't respond then it automatically goes against him after a while of waiting. All though I don't know how long that is.

If Albany don't sort you out, Europa Consultants are a fantastic third party claimant company, VX220 owners use em all the time with great results. My mate had someone knock him off his bike, and they had him a courtesy car the next day and a quote from the other insurers for a settlement fee in a week.

Good luck!

Do you have to pay for the Europa Consultants mate ?

No. They claim your costs which are passed to you either as cash if it is a right-off or by fixing your car to your standards, the costs for your courtesy car and their fees from the other parties insurer. I believe the company is owned by a Pistonhead'er. As you can imagine, parking dings on fibreglass is messy business, hence the high usage by VX/Elise owners, and I have only ever heard positive results. My mate has been more than happy with them too, they are even claiming for all his kit (helmet, textiles etc) even though he didn't even touch the ground!

To be honest, its usually the best policy to let your insurance company deal with a claim like this.They know the delaying tactics, probably even know the company if not the actual people.

I did this and they handled the lot, the excess was theoretically due, but I never actually had to hand over any money. My company arranged the repairs so no delays, and then chased the other company for payment.
 
  White Sti Hatch
I left them to fight it out amungst themselfs but they all failed i had to keep chasing them up ever week or so to get an answer about it and how far along the report was ! but its all sorted now booked in on the 2nd for repairs prob drop the car off on the friday and get me a nice rental car for a while !
 
  White Sti Hatch

Got my rental car for the next week though a nice lovly poverty spec 1.3 Ford Ka......has a CD Player thats about all its got going for it !!
