Hello peeps, some of you might remember that i had an accident 2 1/2 years ago involving my car, ice and a bullard.

well the council have just sent through a letter asking for details of the accident so they can calculate the damage and fine me.

can they do this 2 1/2 years later

and why are they asking me for the details of the accident? should they not know allready and just fine me?

cheers

dont think i'll deny it as i dont want summons to go to court and all that.

but i may ask for some details and evidance of what the damage is.

but dont undertsand why they are asking me what i damaged.

maybe i could say i hit a kerb and see what they say lol.

will look at getting legal advice,

police charged me for the driving incident and i paid a fine and i thought that was all of it.
car was not worth fixing so i stripped and sold the parts on it.
so insurance was never notified.

so i never reported it.
and now 2 1/2 years later i get this.

If the police dealt with it that will be where the council got your address so will know it was you who done it.

^^^yer i suspected that.
got my name and all that wrong.

i'm not trying to get off it ( all though that would be sweet ) Just would like to know where i stand as this is so long after the incident.

BUT i was never seen to by the police at the scene of the bollard.
they must of some how put a 2 and 2 together.

I once received a parking ticket 2 months after my car was stolen in Chicago (twas a 1983 Buick Regal with a Chevy 350cid engine out of a 1971 Camaro). I was pissed. I guess that's where the bastards parked it after it came out of their chop shop.

I would ask a lawyer's advice about teh time lapse. Seems like there should be time limit on stuff like that. In America it's called "Due Process". There's also that nasty little detail called "proof".
