I have not been in a accident but someone is putting a false claim on me that I have been in a accident and they have noted down my vehicle registration number down. The claim the opposition party has made is a false claim and they want to take this matter to CCJ. I have told my insurance company that the claim the opposition party has made is false and I have never seen them before. If I was involved in a accident with them then surely I would've known and we would've stopped and exchange details but this wasnt the case. I am getting very stress over this and I am very unsure as to what to do next.
P.S. My insurance company is already aware of the situation I am in but they are not proving to be very helpful.

Believe it or not, there is not much that you have to do at all. The burden of proof (or preponderence of evidence in civil law suits) lies on the Plaintiff, meaning that they will have to prove that you did indeed damage their car. They will have to have some type of evidence, whether it be physical evidence (paint markings on their car that perhaps matches the color of your car) or eyewitness accounts (someone who may have seen the accident occur). If they do not have this, then they have no case. Therefore, all you need to do is just wait for them to present their case (which will be a weak case since you really did not hit their car) and take it from there. Good luck.

It might waste some of your time to deal with this, but if she can't prove you hit her car, then she's not going to get anywhere. I recommend consulting an attorney regarding this to defend your case.
