Was there a police report or any other report written at the time of the incident?
If not, they have nothing.
Exactly.

Son in Law got a letter from an insurance company a while back.

He had been in a rear ender 6 months previously. His fault. Reasonable damage to his car (towed away). 4 x4 he hit, all jacked up with high lift jacks, jerry cans etc etc. had no damage.

6 months later receive a letter of demand claiming a shock absorber had "fallen out" while driving along the road. Caused by 6 month earlier prang etc etc.

Son in law was in a bit of a flap about it. Several thousand dollars.

I laughed an asked "just fell out? 6 months later?"

Send them an email and ask if that was while driving the Simpson or was it the Strezleki Track.

Heard nothing more.....

Did you or did you not, exchange details with this woman?

If you did not, it never happened or it is a case of mistaken identity.
