Default Rear ended AGAIN.

I got rear ended a month a go by a woman driver and got the car back two weeks ago. As I was driving home tonight I was waiting in traffic AGAIN when a man in a BMW bumped me alittle. Being a subaru the bumper has no damage (it was dark) but the paint had cracked.

I took him name, mobile number, comapany name, reg and address but he did not have any other docs on him all all
He told me its a company car so he does not have insurance co. name
He also claims to be the owner of the company. I asked him who he works for after reading the logo on him T-shirt.

He had no more docs to give me so he jumped in him car a drove off.
I called the police straight away and they told me they will try and pick him up as he told me he was on his way to NE1 5ES

sorry if this does not make sense cuz im totally fcuked off

oh and I forgot ta say he stuck of booze

sorry. that was booze.

Iv not yet called my insurance or him.
What actions should I take?
Im not sure but if I had to pay for my excess it would me cheaper and easier to get the work sorted out myself.
I dont think he should get away with it but what can the poilce do now as they will not be able to check if he was drinking and driving?

Give his details to the police and say he rear ended you, gave you minimal details and refused to hang around when you called the police - you suspect he had been drinking!

They will contact him about leaving the scene of an accident and get insurance details off him at the same time.

It shouldnt affect your insurance at all!

Ray, I would get a quote for the repair asap and then decide what to do.
Inform your insurance company but tell them you haven't decided if you want to claim or not yet.

By the way can you send me the dates of service so I can sort that paperwork out you requested.

Iv contacted my insurance and told them to get the ball rolling but inform me with any actions as i might stop it if anything pops up.

Had a quick look this morning (i mean quick, late for work) the paint has chipped and the paint around the impact area has cracked.

jaycee. It feels like iv been raped again. will pm you the dates along with my address later.

Angry HIT AND RUN

I called the bloke and he said there was no damage to my car or his and does not admit liability.
Been dowm the cop shop and filling out paper work to say he was drinking and driving.

Looks like im gonna have to tell the insurance co. to stop all actions and pay for a respay myself.

Is there any think I can do? Gonna pop down his work place to double check the reg.

How much will a spray job cost me
