I'm in need of a major rant today...
So I had a car accident last October, wrote my car off. Wasn't my fault and got witness statements etc. But the other guy drove off and no one got his registration so I lucked out. Only had third party insurance so didn't get a penny for the car.
One of my closest friends was my passenger. She didn't have any major injuries, and we were both very lucky to walk away with nothing serious. She then decided to make a claim from me. I asked her a week or so after the accident not to claim but she brushed me off. A month or so later, I got some solicitor letters about her claim. At first she denied it, then started making excuses that nothing had gone through. I asked her again not to go ahead with it... if she wanted money, then I'd give her some. She said it wasn't about the money, yet she was still going to go ahead with it. I was quite rude to her, she then said she couldn't believe I was behaving like this as we had been friends for so long and she thought we were more than this. lol... I haven't spoken to her since that day.
Got some papers in the post the other day, a claim form from the court. Apparently, my insurance company made an offer of £1700 but she's turned it down and wants MORE! There's a few blatant lies in there like damage to her clothing and jewellery which isn't true. It's really made me angry... and she's telling our mutual friends that she doesn't get why I'm like this... at least she was always upfront about making a claim. I think I'm even more vexed 'coz my insurance is up for renewal end of this month and my premiums are SKY high thanks to her. And what makes me more angry is that she went for her medical... in the report it says stuff like she still needs physio and injuries will still take a few months to heal, yet the following week she was out pissed off her face for her birthday and was climbing over fences drunk.
I really need to learn to choose my friends more carefully... and feel better for having ranted.
