I've been mulling this over during the day. The person that rang SWMBO was from a solicitors office. Surely, it would be the other woman's insurance company that would need to ring me to get SWMBO's details? The caller did not ask for SWMBO's insurance comapny, just our private address.

I'm beginning to think this is one of those ambulance-chaser jobs. Indeed, was the other woman actually insured?

Hmmm. I smell a rat.  

Insurance companies do sometimes get solicitors to do the chasing on their behalf. Or they simply sell the "loss" on to some bunch of parasites because they can't be @rsed to do any chasing.

I would refuse to give away any futher information and, if pressed, just pass it on to your insurers.

Insurer will probably pay out.the cost of trying to provea false whiplash claim as opposed to a genuine one would cost far more than the £2,000 (approx) for the claim.

And the Insurers will be insured against such a claim

Kevin you should inform your insurers of any bump knock but ensure you tell them you are not making a claim,you left yourself open for not reporting it.
But as said a ambulance chaser and a foreigner,

The other thing I should have said is that, now you have informed your insurers, you should not talk to the third party or their agents other than to refer them to your insurer as this will almost certainly be a reqirement of your policy.

Will do.

Kevin is spot on btw my insurance policy specifically mentions that!!!

smells fishy nik

firstly any reputable legal firm would obtain your details from the DVLA database and then serve a summons to the vehicles registered owner!

thats what i would expect wouldnt you? i certainly wouldnt expect a phone call out the blue

have you googled the telephone number that called you?

mum had a bump and her insurers Norich union defended her the other party lost because NU proved my mum hit the other party at less than 10mph as no damage was sustained to her vehicle
