I live in a flat and park my car in the shared car park. I noticed the old lady downstairs has hit my car when trying to park next to mine. I have tried to catch her in person to ask her about it and have now resorted to leaving a quick note under her doormat as she hasn't been in. What do I do if she denies it or doesn't contact me about it?

When the same thing happened to me, I just called the police. They contacted the person for me. If she hit your car and didn't leave a note or anything, that's a crime.

first thing is give her a chance to come clean. You left her the note see what she does. If she doesn't respond in a couple of days, contact a lawyer. Try asking anybody else who parks near there or lives on that side of the building if they have seen her do it? The more witnesses of course the better. If you have significant damage to your vehicle it would not be fair to you to have to claim it on your insurance. That will only drive up your rate. Good luck I hope this doesn't get messy for you

Well if you have no proof (such as a witness) or can't match any paint scrapes to the cars you're pretty much out of luck. Unless you have some actual proof that she hit you (she may allege you struck her, it happens!) then you can claim with your insurance if you have collision, but they probably can't get payment from her.

You would have to get a paint sample or have the police see if anything matches up damage wise with her car.

well if it was an accident then just leave her alone. But if it was on purpose put some sugar in fuel tank.
