Today I've got a call from an unknown number -'First response' or 'Accident response' or something similar and the woman had all my details (without any help from me) and had details of an accident from almost 2 years ago saying that 'there has been money put aside for me for my discomfort'. When I said that I wasn't hurt in the accident (which was no fault of my own and the other persons insurance payed fully for the repair of my car) she kept mentioning some 'invisible bruising' and that there will be a cheque in the post from the other party's insurance. She even got her manager to try to talk me into accepting this preposterous claim! As I don't believe you can get something for nothing, I suspect that 'First response' or whatever go through old cases and look for people who didn't claim for whiplash or similar and try on 'no win, no fee' basis. I blame the Americans! Although I like 'free' money as much as the next man, I don't believe in claiming compensation for 'invisible bruising' from probably already high-sky insurance of a 20 year old girl who rear ended me in her T-reg Punto! (which was a wright off btw)
Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to know if anyone else got similar calls and was I right in my assessment of the mysterious goodwill company ...
P.S I told them to call back on Monday after 'I speak to my husband' (obviously I'm married to the FF)... but I'm inclined to refuse as I believe in Karma... Any thoughts from you lot? (Robin?)
