I've already had an offer to "help" sort it out !!!!!  MY16 AUTOBIOGRAPHY Indus silver with some toys

Definitely report it to police, and your insurance company. With the video evidence, should be an open and shut case.

I'd check first if your insurance company will load your premium come renewal time as well- even for a no fault claim. If your underwriters are AXA, then they probably will, so you will have to change companies come renewal time.

PS Get yourself a Peugeot 206 for car park use, that's what I have for parking at the train station, worth about £300 and already has a good collection of dents and scratches

Best of luck

Hi slim444, my other motor is more "upmarket " than a 206.....its a 14 year old 307 with 6 or 7 deep foot long scratches on it and 2 front corners where it has had loads of parking scrapes. I've had it for 3 years now and it came with all the damage on it, but after yesterday it has suddenly dawned on me that other people are going to think I bang in to cars on a regular basis

Anyway I went to see plod a bit earlier and was given a form to fill out and a reference number but they weren't really interested. Didn't want to see the video or picture of the damage or an estimated cost and ended by saying they expect nothing to come of it as "it happens all the time" to which I replied "so does murder but it doesn't make it right" to which the reply was "If I were you sir I would use my insurance company, that's what it is for"....

Is it me or is the world gone mad  MY16 AUTOBIOGRAPHY Indus silver with some toys

A 14 year-old 307, show off!! My Pug is 15 years old now, and has a monster dent in the rear quarter caused by a bale of straw- must get it knocked out really, I'm sure it's affecting the aerodynamics...

Insurance company is your best bet then, they will pursue it, after all it's what you pay them for! Apparently

Yep, the world has been mad for a long time, just getting "madder" every day ;-(

How about plod doing what we pay them for and you using the driver of the other cars insurance, that's what their for .

Not what they're for anymore, haven't you heard?
It's all about solving miscellaneous crimes that improve government stats- anything from nicking a bag of sweets to genocide is admissible!

If you have their number plate, and have reason to do so, (as you do), you can apply to the DVLA to release their details to you. MY2016 HSE D SDV6 - gone due to fuel dilution problems.

Happened to wife's MX5. Witnesses left taxi company details on windscreen after cabby drive off without leaving a note. Called him up and told him car park cctv been requested and police informed. He soon coughed up! Thank God for the witness notes!
Perhaps call 101 and see what they say or try a different cop shop? Visitor from fullfatrr.com

The police were right , it does happen all the time ! ............not to me though , I don't park in car parks and yes I know I am a sad git .

This is what I use for car parks

This happened to me a few years back in a petrol station and I managed to get CCTV footage. I used a claims management company linked to a firm of solicitors on a no fee basis. This keeps it away from your insurance company (to ensure you don't have to disclose an accident/claim in the future) and to be honest it is a lot less hassle. They essentially follow up with the DVLA to get the relevant details and bring a claim against the driver (who discloses their insurance details) - they manage all the repairs (you can choose your preferred dealer) and they provide a suitable hire car. Can't remember for the life of me what they were called, but I am sure there are plenty of options - I didn't have to lift a finger or spend a penny, no long queues talking to my insurer's call center etc. Highly recommend.

I contacted A Plan (site sponsor) this morning and described what had happened. I emailed the dash cam footage and pictures of the damage. They rang me back within 20 minutes and gave me the option described above by Jpegnall ie to go through a 3rd party or go directly through my insurance company and pay £450 excess (recoverable if successful)

I decided to go through a 3rd party who contacted me within half an hour. I have now sent photos of each side of the car, front, back and a pic of the mileage along with pictures of the damage.

They are contacting the who hit my car and then we can move it forward.

The company that they are talking about for the bodywork is an approved Land Rover repairer and provide a pick up service along with a courtesy car.

So far so good  MY16 AUTOBIOGRAPHY Indus silver with some toys
