  1. Greetings Caggers. I wonder if any of you can give some sound advice. In October, 3 claims arrived in the post from solicitors acting on behalf of 3 people claiming whiplash injuries. They say I hit their car, and that it was my fault. The driver has put a different reg number from mine (one digit different), but the 2 passangers have put down my reg number. My insurance company appear to be dealing with this properly as a case of "mistaken identity", but the whole thing is going slowly. The solicitors acting for the 3 claimants do not seem to want to drop this - I presume because they are hoping the insurance company will give up and pay out. I was at home, 300 miles away from the scene of this alleged accident and have supplied my insurer with as much proof of this as I can. My "allaby" is not cast iron, but I can proove I was at home 8 hours either side of the incident. I don't know anything about any claim for damge to vehicles, though I suspect this could be relevent. I had to renew my policy today and have had to pay £200 extra due to this (loss of no claims), though they say they will refund when the case is solved. Hmmm... I'm thinking of counter-sueing, or at least threatening such actions directly to the claimants or their solicitors for loss of money, time and stress incurred, but will keep my insurers informed if I do so. I am also thinking of contacting the police and reporting a fraudulant claim which this may be. I am (this is perhap less relevent) totally cheesed off that 3 people who seem to want new flat-screen TVs and a company of ambulance-chasers are affecting my otherwise peaceful and happy life! Thanks in advance...
