Question posted in the Insurance Law category relating to KwaZulu-Natal

Hi Please could you assist me with what I find irregular about this summons, I was involved in a fender bender in 2017 only now 2020 I receive a summons that I must take action or appear in court and pay the cost of the damage which is the full amount they asking me to pay, correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure I'm just supposed to pay the insurance excess, also I have asked for the invoice of the work done and the invoice is not very informative it looks like it was made on MS Word and doesn't stipulate any breakdowns of cost or work carried out on the vehicle I would make arrangements to pay but only the excess of their insurance? And also am I allowed to dispute a invoice? I feel like they trying to scam me!

Regards any feedback appreciated

Hi there,

I see that you haven't made a payment for the question, but I'm going to assist you a little. If you want to ask a follow-up question, please make the required payment.

What was the date of the accident, and what was the date that the sheriff served the summons on you?

Att. Patrick

Please remember this is a dialog if you have follow-up questions please make the required payment, then use the REPLY button and ask your further question. I would like to continue assisting you, but I need to concentrate on people who make payments for their questions.
