I let a friend of mine borrow my car to run some errands and she seems to have backed into someone. both parties say no major damage (ive not seen it) just a scratch on the other cars bumper. but she lied on the info she gave her, gave fake name and incorrect insurance info ect but did give her my correct phone number and insurance co.
now the lady is calling me.
Is there anything i can do since i wasnt driving? What legal action can she do since my friend gave her wrong info?

Turn your friend in to the cops. And call your insurance company.

Your "friend" can be legally held liable for giving false information and could be prosecuted should the other person wish to do so. Extricate yourself from this situation by confronting your friend, tell the "victim" the truth, and let the insurance companies handle it.

since you gave her permission to drive your car you'll need to file the claim with your insurance, you did not give her the wrong info so that's your friends issue, the lady she hit should be satisfied by your insurance and then it's between you and your friend.
I wouldn't let your friend borrow your car ever.

Lady will sue you.
You will sue friend.
Lady or cops could take legal action against friend for false info.
