"Crash for cash". Saw a TV show about this, part of the problem they said is that whiplash is hard for docs to diagnose. There's no test, just the patients word.

I've had a number of cold calls recently telling me that I should submit a claim for minor injury in relation to the rear end shunt that occurred in 2014. I am told that it [the claim] won't be contested. I am not willing to claim for injury which I have not incurred. The callers are 100% confident that it won't go to court.

So I tell them that they should perhaps complete and sign the claim form on my behalf. That was if it goes wrong they wind up charged with fraud, not me!!

I have traced the source of my data to a company based in Sale, Cheshire (although they are not making the calls). I have managed to contact the chief operating officer of this company. He's very very polite once you get to know him. Wonder why that is?
