Another help fighting a fine thread

Sorry if you guys are getting bored of these lol but this ones a bit different

 

As you may remember I had an accident a year and a half ago and knocked down a 3m high sign in the process

 

All this time later iv had a bill through from the city council at over £1100....

 

No breakdown of costs but they did outline what's included in the bill. Including "erect, maintain and remove traffic control layout- temp signs"

 

This was done by 911 Recovery- the recovery company who does all the work on behalf of the council. I don't remember them putting any signs up, if they did it would be a small sign on the ground, lifted off the back of the truck and removed as they left- 20 mins or so

 

I'm assuming they sent the council a bill and they've forwarded it onto me with more commission on top

 

Payment due in 2 weeks

 

Where do I start?

Also, iv changed insurance company since then so not sure if they will get involved

Were you insured when you hit the sign?

 

If so, you've paid your excess any other expenses are down to your insurer.

[LRF4N]

Yea I was fully insured. But you know what insurance companies are like, always funding an excuse not to pay. I think they will dig their heels in as I'm not with them anymore?

[gsexr]

Just pass your insurance details on to the council and let them get on with it.

[Ekona]

Pass the entire bill to the insurer you were with when you had the accident. Simple as that.

 

It's not a fine, it's an invoice.

[LRF4N]

Let's hope it's as simple as you guys say. It's never as simple as that when I deal with insurance companies

 

Il sort it on Monday
