This kid hit me and damaged my bumper and is trying to dodge the bill; advice wanted

His license plate number should do you justice in finding him alone.

Find him, fhuck him in the ass and make him humble

[QUOTE=DukeDelonte13]i don't know if they will or not. Contact your state's DMV headquarters or check out their webpage online their might even be an online lookup.[/QUOTE]

Oh I see.

There are new developments to my story here: The auto-shop says they have to order a part for this for $200, making the total $400.

If this dude wasn't calling back when it was 200, no way will he call back for 400.

And I think 400 is enough to make me just report it, and deal with my insurance rates going up a little.

call your insurance company, subrogate it, and let them handle it from there.

if they find him at fault they'll reimburse you. $200 sounds awfully low, if i were you i'd go to a dealership and get another estimate and tell them to jack it up. then take it to the cheap shop and keep the difference.

[QUOTE=tmacattack33]Good idea. Would the police give me that info though? They probably would just think i want it so i could go jump the kid :oldlol:[/QUOTE]


No the police will not give you that info. And the police report will eventually show up through the DMV so your insurance company will find out about it no matter what.. trust me I know... I know you're afraid your rates will go up if you report but guess what they go up if you don't report it and they find out... lol

Your biggest problem could end up if the other driver turns it into their insurance company...


If you're not going to turn it into your insurance company you're pretty much screwed unless the kid comes out of hiding

Make him eat a d!ck

Always get the other person's info and detail any problems that showed up as a result of the accident. I say this having learned the hard way. Trust no one when it comes to an accident and assume they will try and short change you given the opportunity.

Even if you get fully reimbursed for the damages, your car value depreciates and you end up losing 100% of the time. You may as well make the persons responsible cover as much of that as you can.

you are really wrong on this..


1. There is no police accident report.

2. His insurance company will never find out and insurance companies do not care if you don't report accidents. There is no rule that you must report all accidents to your insurance. They are a private company, not a government agency. You aren't required to report anything at all to your insurance. It's their job to get the information about you, not your responsibility to volunteer information to them.


3. Most people have deductibles of 500 bucks. Let's say tmac has no deductible whatsoever. Even if they insurance company reimburses him in full, they will get their money back and then some after they raise his premiums.

The bottom line is is that Tmac will save more money if he just pays out of pocket for the accident.

All you need is the license plate to get the address of the person who registered the plates... already a step ahead...

They probably won't give it to you with a report but you sure as hell aren't walking into a police station and getting that info with just a license number...

You could be some stalker or something

his rates won't go up at all if the other party is determined at fault. he won't have a deductible either.

he'd be a fool to not pursue the guy given the evidence which just amounts to contacting his insurance company and giving them all of the info to investigate it.

[QUOTE=Angel Face]Hire an assassin, get that kid assassinated.[/QUOTE]

That'd be wasting more money. Now he's giving out money to kill a kid who already owes him money. I mean if your anger points you in that direction, then by all means run that teenager (young adult, maybe?) into the ground, but it just doesn't make much sense from a financial perspective. Also, unless this kid's sole mention on this message board makes him the least bit notable, it would be murder instead of assassination.

So wait you didn't call the cops? How dumb is that. ALWAYS call the cops. This way he can't [B]REFUTE [/B]anything you say in court. Also, never handle sh*t out of good faith; should of called a lawyer or your insurance company. Who the f*ck do you think you are now .. Tom Cruise in a few good men? Leave it to the pros homeboy; you got f*cked over and now you're gonna learn your lesson.

Hell, even if you can't afford a lawyer, have car insurance, you can still make a small claim report in court and have a judge decide. There should be absolutely no excuse for you to handle this on your own. What a dumb move.
