Hi,
My partner caused a rta in 2016 resulting in injuries to both himself and another driver.
He pleaded guilty and paid the price of a prison sentence.
As his blood alcohol level was over the legal limit he was told his insurance was void and there has been an ongoing claim against him since. It has finally settled for £117k and he has now received a letter stating that it needs paying within 14 days (it’s nearly been that now) and if he cannot do that then then esure will pay but will take steps to recover the money.
We’ve tried to seek advice but not managed to get very far besides being told to file for bankruptcy. This may be the only option as we don’t have a mortgage or any assets and obviously with serving a prison sentence he lost his job and struggled to get back into employment due to the criminal record.
Hes started to get life back on track but only has a minimum wage job and no way of paying anywhere near that amount back.
The whole situation is causing a lot of stress and I’d really appreciate any advice.
Thank you
