'independent' witness in court. Judge found in his favour because he said the witness was 'reliable and credible'. Since found out that they live together and she is the mother of his child. My insurance company won't appeal or wipe the accident from my insurance record. Any advice? Cheers. |

I suppose you could report it to the police. Or you could go to the Insurance Ombudsman, which might be the better option.

Thanks Sussex. I told my company that I was going to go to the Ombudsman, they seemed pretty confident that he would find in their favour, that they'd done enough and spent enough on the case already. |

TBH you have got nothing to lose by going to the Ombudsman other than the price of a stamp. I would mention somewhere along the line of the insurance company condoning fraud.

I think the problem here will be that they will say that you should have got all your evidence together before the court case. The costs to your insurance company in trying to appeal would probably be more than they have already paid out so they wont bother. |

I would not only write to the ombudsman but go strait to the police as she has committed perjury. |

Wouldn't my company be able to claim back all their costs? |

Yes and you can make a claim for loss of earnings and the extra premiums, Don't let her away with it go to see the police first thing |

The police and courts generally take perjury and perverting the course of justice-type things very seriously. If they defo misrepresented their relationship in court then I can't see how the police and judicial system can ignore it. It's a bit worrying that your insurers don't seem interested though. |

Why do you think it's worrying that my insurers aren't bothered? |

I would go to the police first before the ombudsman - after all, if your case is based on a criminal offence having been committed then the insurers will want to see evidence of that. A bit like if you claim on a burglary or whatever then your insurers will want to see a crime number. No harm in asking the police, and even if you're worried about the repercussions you could test the water first before going ahead. |

I assumed that they would take that kind of thing very seriously. But if the police are interested then I think the insurance company will have to become interested. |
