Do you think I can argue that the other car owner did not wait for the Police? Even though he was at fault? My insurance company told me that it will count even if he was parking on a double yellow line right at the junction.

Hello Guys, I was involved in a minor accident on the Friday. The problem was that this Van was packing on a double yellow line right at the junction. I was coming from one of the road which is Lewin terrace to join the road he was packing at. The van was obscuring my view, but I can still see both side of the road. As I was driving round the Van adn I was on the road where he packing, he was reversing back his car at the same time to go and pick up some school children. So, at this time he hit my car with a minor scratch on both our cars. He took the picture of me car, and I took his at as well. This guy did not wait for the Police to arrived and he drove off. The police came and I explained what happened. I am waiting to hear from them. I contacted my insurance, and I was told that he was already established himself on that Road, so it is going to be my fault. I told them that I was already on that road too before he started revising his car. the lady spoke to his manager, and told me that it is going to be 50/50 thing. He also told me that it is not going to count whether the Van was on a double yellow line or not. That they are only looking for duty of care. I have got a third party insurance. I am not looking to claim anything, but I am wondering if my insurance premium will go up if he claims something. Is true that this Van will get away even he was packing on a double yellow line waiting there ? I have got a witness that he was packing on a double yellow line as he even insulted this woman. Can someone advise me on what to do next? My insurance policy will runs out in August. Thanks.

Yeah, I still have the car. May be the car worth £500 ? It is a Peugeot 206 (2001) .

Ok guys. I have agreed to pay the amount of that money with this guy, but I have never met this guy (Bailiff), we have been communicating on the phone. He told me that I can pay with my direct debit to him on the date that I set to pay this money. Do you guys think I need to see him before I pay ? Do I have to know if he is a real guy ?

I would be very grateful if someone can help me. I received a Bailiff letter yesterday about a Parking fines that I know of and due to the fact I did not have money, I ignored it. I also received a letter from the Northampthon County Court, and I forgot to send Statutory Declaration form back to the County Court. Now, my query is I am happy to pay the money in installment to the Baillif if they are happy to reduce their charges. I owe only £202.00 including the court fees, but Collect services says that I owe £433.00 with their charges. I have contact Wayne the Bailliff to tell me the break down of the charges. I called him yesterday, he told me that their charges is £175.00, and today he said I have to check the back of the letter sent to me. Having the check the back of it, I can only be charge for £75 as the Baillif charges. I asked him what are the other amount for, and he said 'removal charges '. I have asked him to give me court reference, but he said that it was 'Hounslow Borough' who contacted them to collect the money on their behalf, so he do not have the court reference. 1) Do they have power to charge more than the recormended charges by the government? 2) Can I contact the court even though I did not fill the statutory form sent in the first place and without a court reference. 3) Or Should I contact Hounslow Borough about it and asked them to stop the BAILLIFF so that I can pay them in installments ? Help pls
