He has never been told he was uninsured or that they would be coming after him for costs. He received a letter as start of November stating claim was closed/settled so assumed that was it.
It was his own insurance and he was fully comp on a 1L VW Polo.
He spoke to a solicitor today in his current country of residence who also thought it was all a little odd and said everything should be in writing and no one should just call to his door. He recommended when a letter comes that provides some clarity to get a solicitor here in Ireland and take it from there but in the meantime to continue any correspondence in writing.
