Early this year I was involved in a very minor driving incident. I fucked up, but all the damage was repaired, I was interviewed by the police who thought nothing further should happen, and that should have been that. However, the other party (who I wrote to and apologised to) in their infinite wisdom has decided that it would be best to drag this on and on and punish me by any means possible for something that happened 4 months ago and has been entirely fixed already.

Thus I've been summonsed for failing to report an incident, and am thinking it's worth contacting a solicitor to try to minimise the bullshit. Anyone have any recommendations??

Ask at the nearest citizens advice, they could give you one for free or recommend a good one.
good luck

Bad luck Fiend - no recommendations I'm afraid but good luck - Sloper might know somebody in the area if you PM him?

I had a pretty major shunt and it didn't come to this!  I am now Captain Slow, which came in quite handy when my clutch died over christmas and I had to drive back (to the stix) at less than 30 mph from Curbar during that mental snow dump. 
I know apologising is the admitting guilt thing you're supposed not to do when that's exactly the thing you most feel like doing in the whole world, but how does not reporting the incident work - not reporting it to the Rozzers, they interviewed you FFS, unless their beaureucracy <sp> is a bit mad.  not reporting it to the insurance company is bad even if you fork out for it yourself and don't claim, and not declaring your documents at the cop shop is bad too. 

Can you afford that Mr Loophole guy from Manchester or does he only take celebrities?

If you just have a court summons then my mate turned up for some speeding without due CAA shite, and just took whatever they threw at him - they couldn't even spell his name right, even with his license in front of him, so they're hardly competent.

think your biggest mistake was writing and apologizing. most people out there aren't decent people, they just want money.
Were all twats really

[Fiend]

Errrr. I wrote and apologised AFTER the police had tracked me down and had taken me in for a formal interview....(they gave me the other side's address, and I chose to write to him to make amends).

We're using Taylor & Emmett for our house move, think they do all sorts, pretty big so not the cheapest but seem like they know what they are doing.

Wake's...

opposite the botanical gardens.

in the legal 500. cost a lot. did a conveyancing for me once - bloody good service.

dont know of any others, sorry.

[Sloper]

Fiend, is this what we discussed before?  If not then PM me, in fact give me a call beause dependent on the circs. you may be wasting your money going to sols (i.e. they may be unlikely to change the outcome).   If you do go to a criminal firm go to a specialist firm.

Monkeys can be trained to do conveyancing

I'm not sure you can class a head-on collision as a "shunt".
