**A: you posted the identical thread back in July which racer72 responded to. What is your insurance company doing about your accident?
What? You don't have insurance or didn't report it.

i never contacted my insurance company and i don't think the other person contacted there insurance company either and at the scence the person there told me not to worry that it was nothing and that they would take care of it and don't worry about it and go on with about my bussiness

**A: oh, that's what I thought happened. Thanks for the update.

well i gotta go to court in the morning anyone have any last ideas for me ....least someone please pray for me lol ...any idea how if i'm found gulity how would i pay i have no job would the court let me make payments to them cause i have no income what so ever like i said i'm a struggling college kid

Real simple case! Go to court, tell the truth, and WIN! You should not be held responsible since this person has no proof that you hit him/her! Was your paint color on his car at that time? If not, don't worry about it. He is only trying to soak you for pocket change. The court system will not see it his way, I am confident of that. Your best defense is to tell the truth. His best defense is to tell the truth (if he can) and I doubt that being the case. Eleven months has past. What has taken him so long to come forward? Ask the judge that when you get there! Go there with a positive attitude and just tell the truth. You will feel much better in the end. Let him "prove" his point if he can wiggle a way to do it!! He should be ashame, the deadbeat body shop man!!!!! He just lost another customer!
