Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
Hi, i had a rear end shunt back in July 08,the Driver of the other vehicle has admitted 100% liability, no problem there then, but my insurance company is the same one as his, so how then does my appointed solictor payed for by my insurance company act in my best intererest against the very company that pays her/his salary?
There will be no conflict of interest, though it is a common question I had when I worked in insurance. Just treat yours and the third party's insurer as though they are separate companies. I know it sounds daft, but that's how it works. Insurers will have different departments dealing with the other person's insurer, and will behave in the same manner. I do have a few amusing anecdotes myself on this matter but I would digress too far. On saying that, there are times where the above situation is ignored.
I am confused however as to why they have appointed a solicitor. It sounds like the other party is disputing or there is another party involved (which is not indicated by your post). If liability is disputed, there certainly should be no need of solicitors - an exception I refer to above. But times may have changed since I last worked in insurance.
I would not worry though as to the conflict of interest part.
