I'm not sure what a T Brown van is but if you know who the company are then surely they will have a log of which drivers were in your area at the time you were hit? Shouldn't take long for them to narrow down their list and speak to some of the drivers to find out who it was and discipline them for not stopping after an accident. Perhaps write a letter of complaint to the Managing Director?
It is an offence to leave the scene of an accident without swapping insurance details. One tactic could be to call the company back, tell them that they must know where their drivers are and so must be able to identify this driver. Plus the van will have paint from your car on it and so will be easy to identify. Tell them that you are giving them the option of sorting this out in a civilised way so that insurance companies can pay up, otherwise you'll call the police and report their driver, who has committed a criminal offence, as will the company if they lie to the police and pretend they aren't able to identify who it was.
I am with Legal Beagle on this one. Take the hard line. The notion that they don't know who it might have been is ridiculous and there is bound to be clear damage on the vehicle in question. They are just trying to pass the buck and I would nail them to the wall if I was you.

trouble?

Hold on before we start legal proceedings, and I?m sure the lawyers a gagging to get going on this.

Is there any actual paint damage?

What does BG mean by there?s no serious damage?

Could this be like a 1mph bump, bumper to bumper?

Like a parking bump resulting in no actual damage?

BG?

Thanks for all the info on what I should do, but feeling much more calmer about it now.

Just had a bad couple of months I'm wondering if Mars is in retrograde!

About two/three weeks ago my stereo was stolen, then this jerk smashes my wing mirror almost shoving me into parked cars.


Peckham Rose I mentioned that I thought he came from Rye Hill but the officer manager claims that he may have been a lewisham driver, What goes around comes around I hope!

Thought you said no serious damage?


Wind mirror these days ?300 - ?500 to replace + fitting.


That?s worth persuing!


You probably need independent witness if you want to get your insurance excess back and avoid it showing up as a fault claim tho.

    • Should be NICEIC or NAPIT registered  and also NOT registered for VAT
    • Lots of good points there mal but wasn’t it the same electorate who are now so angry that kept voting them back in?   for me 2015 was the pivotal moment. Pre Corbyn, but after 5 years of austerity, Cameron should never have been allowed back in 
    • If you’re looking for a curly hair specialist I can highly recommend Kinson near Clock House station (or ten mins walk from Kent House). 
    • The unnecessary austerity under the coalition, hammering public services, and then subsequent Tory governments not investing when interest rates were rock bottom screwed the country.  These were before COVID and Ukraine which the Tories used as an excuse.  There is no good reason to vote Reform; they have a platform of returning Britain to something it never was. The left of Labour parties, IE Greens and LDs are the only sensible alternative.   This is not letting Labour off the hook; worryingly they already seem to be veering to the right.
