Insurance Fraud or What?

[gabbadj]

What is the name of your state? California.


Last November I rearended a lady and did some damage to her truck..

We agreed to stay out of insurance companies and Id pay her.. Three weeks later I gave her a check for the total amount to fix her truck..

I have the truck repair estimate as well as the cancled check from the bank. and a letter from her saying the amount for me to pay for the accident.

A few weeks after the check had cleared she filed an insurance claim and collected from the insurance company..

My rated almost doubled.. What can I do? Do I need to sue her or can I pressure the insurance company to go after her? Is their an insurance fraud office to handle such things as this?

I paid her $1051 and I either want it back or want her

Whose insurance co. did she collect from? Her own or yours? Did you make the insurance co. handling the loss know?
