Next day AAI called me, that the driver don't answer and return calls from them. And I need her full name, first name is enough to identify. Told me to contact her. I sent 2 texts to her but no reply. I went to her house. I met the car owner. He said his insurance will call mine.
A day later, received text from driver. "Good afternoon. Sorry for the late response. I was working, and I don't exactly appreciate you coming onto my property yesterday, as that's highly illegal and I've talked to company that have said the same thing. I will call your insurance tomorrow if your would like when it's open? Or I was wondering if we could do a cash job? If we can get a quote on how much it's going to cost from a panel beater and I pay you that cost?"
I called AAI about the text, told me to tell her contact AAI. So I did. But on the day before my car repair. AAI called me to pay my excess or cancel my booking. AAI told me the driver and the car owner have not contact AAI and not answer and return calls. So I have to pay excess or wait for unknown time for them to contact AAI. I asked AAI can they do anything, AAI said they can't do anything to get them to call. I need to use my car. So I paid $500 excess. I said should I go to Police. Told no need. We will handle it.
A week after car repair. AAI sent me email. That the third party is disputing liability. Asked me to do a written statement and diagram of the accident. I did. I called AAI for details. AAI told me, the car owner called on behalf of the driver to deny liability and said have no insurance.
What is going to happen? Someone told me. If third party is not insured, deny liability, insurance can't get from money from them. My excess will not refund. I went online for help. Answers are not good.
Person 1: My son had the same thing happened, the driver said it was my son's fault. Luckily FMP believed my son and made her paid.
Person 2: I was gaven fake names and fake contact details.
Person 3: I and the witness have to appear before The adjudicator to determine who is the faulted one.
Person 4: At intersection, car in front backed into car behind. Car owner says please please my fault we go through insurance but please say me driving not my father (not on insurance) who only drives automatics where they come from.(hence jamming on brakes and putting in reverse) Car that backed was insured. Now their insurance company is trying to get the car behind to pay when the car in front backed into the car behind.
Person 5: The driver is not insured. Insurance can't get money from him. My excess is not refund.
I so regret NOT CALL POLICE!
Call POLICE! Don't be another victim!

If you've noticed a missed call from a number you don't recognise (particularly international numbers), it is important that you don't call this number back and consider reporting this as a potential scam.
Phone companies are advising customers to reject these calls and if you have friends or family living overseas, it is recommended to have their numbers added as contacts in your mobile phone, so you can identify when they are calling you.
