Well I'm just glad you finally got there.
I don't think there is a decent insurance company any more - they're pretty much all call-centres staffed by monkeys using a script.

They’re always keen to get take the cash when buying insurance!

Sorry to hear /read of this and so glad it been resolved. A lot of the time it is insurance companies not wanting to take the hit which is to blame however I would recommend Esure and Admiral. I’ve only had to use Admiral myself and they were top notch and used an amazing company when my car was involved in an accident pre the e89 the finish wa abetted than bmw! And my dad used Esure for his M4 and when that was bumped they used BMW for repair and it was just perfect. No arguing, no delay. They just got it sorted.
I’m with Esure for all my cars. Good price and well the proof is when you NEED to make a claim.

Can 2nd that when a muppet dragged their caravan down the side of a 3 month old car I had - tried to claim additional loss as now devalued, wouldn’t entertainpvr wrote: ↑Tue Apr 25, 2017 1:35 pm
Not available in the UK though? I know you can claim for that as well as loss of value (damaged / repaired car) in European insurance but I did not think you could claim for that in the UK.

Exactly the same thing happened to me years ago in the Mother in-laws little Fiat. I pulled up behind a 4x4 at lights, he'd obviously missed his turn so decided to reverse, bumper and bonnet squashed.
He got out and apologised, admitted it was entirely his fault and started to go through the Insurance.
Whereupon his version changed entirely, apparently I'd sped up behind him and parked so close he couldn't see me...all total Cobblers. Anyway after a few weeks he admitted it.
Very frustrating and annoying but sorted in the end.

Had to start reversing whilst blasting the horn because someone hadn't checked the mirror before reversing at traffic lights!

Exact same thing happened to me years ago.
Behind a 4x4 at lights when he reversed, still no idea why. He was all apologetic and said his insurance would sort it. A few days later his Insurance contacted me saying that I'd bumped into him!
Took months to sort it but I got my car sorted in the end.
It happened before camera phones, which are a bonus today I suppose .
