Hi I have just received a court summons from scott rees.
I believe what has happened is as such.
Non fault car claim, my car was stationery on dual carriageway due to traffic jam, car hit me from behind.
Liability admitted no problem with that.
My car unsuprisingly had some rear damage, I went through my insurance comp and just used their ar repairer to fix the damage, car was then duley fixed. I don't believe there was any decision maiing on my part ie approving bill or anything.
Then years down the line get a letter from scott rees saying there is a disupte, call them up to clarify as letter was porrly worded and they said because the other car drivers insurance company did not agree with cost of repair bill that did not pay, so we were liable.
Lots of time has past now, 6 years in fact, i have a court date.
I am so confused, why am i being taken to court? i did not have any involvement in the repair bill. I do not know what happens if case is lost, I have no documents provided, ie i dont know how much the bill was for, no advice from scott rees, i have just been told i have half hour with barrister just before court case!!!
also i have suffered a tertible berivement recently and ii am really not well, so if i'm not well enough to attend the court date, what do i do, can i get some sort of sick note from the dr.
tbh as far as im concerned this is nothing ot do with me, car hit me from behond, took it to the garage our insurance company recommended.
had nothing to do with the bill.
the other driver went into the back of us because he was on his mobile phone, as when we got hit,my dh turned round nd he was on the phone, and the other driver even admitted he was on his phone thats why he crashed into us when we where stationary.
so can't understand why i even have to go to court at all.
Can anyone please help give me advice to tackle this
thanks
