His insurers are dealing fully with the claim, **** direct line! Courtesy car, full collection and repair service and an email from the lease company being adhered to stating only genuine parts used via fully authorised garage etc etc. Now awaiting time and date for damage assessor to visit our house/car. Regarding the courtesy car, they're trying to find me a big estate with roof bars. I said I'd happily accept a vw transporter especially as it'll help me fit in on my Cornish holiday...
Glad you've got the result you fully deserved wrightyson.
I had a very similar experience a good few ago now. It was only my persistence of refusing to settle for a 50/50 claim that it ending up going to court.
It went in my favour and I'm glad I pursued. The insurer was all too happy to settle for 50/50.

Makes business sense
Back when I used to do this " loss of no claims bonus" was an element of the claim against the at fault driver,paid for by his insurers.
Direct line via a car hire company will offer you a matiz or even fiesta, they did with me, after a bmw rammed me.
I had a van off them after telling them i needed a van, got it for 6 weeks,ast they made slow repairs, Direct line where very good, but expect hike in insurance costs as youve made a claim.
A question on named drivers having accidents, presumably at renewal time the op has to declare a claim (even if non fault) and also has to declare the named driver has been involved in an accident. Does this get treated differently to if op had an accident as they could then declare one claim/accident?
