My neighbour guest claims that my wife scratched his car when she was moving from the garage.

He has a few scratches on the bumper.

I came out later and checked the scene. On my car there is no scratches, original paint. He says the scratches were done by mudflaps. No single proof from his side.

Have got a claim from his insurer. What would you recommend?

  Ask your wife. Simples.

  Dam, did your wife hit his car? Have you asked directly?
  If she says no, (being aware there could be footage if not), then the matters simple.
  Deny any accident.
  Refer enquiries to your insurance, inform them you have not been in an accident.

    She said maybe… She was not sure. She was stopped by the owner of another car.

      More of the story comes out. So, now it seems that another person saw your wife hit the guest's car and stopped your wife…

      Well. Thats a tad more incriminating.

      Another person stopped your wife to say she hit a car?

      Then this 3rd person i assume told the owner of the car.

      And now the owner is mad at your wife?

      And your wife "isnt sure"?

      …..

      Your wife obviously did it. Take responsibility, hand over your insurance details, pay up and move on

      WTF? Why didn't you tell us this vital information in your OP?

      So the guest has a witness that could be one of your neighbours. The witness obviously stopped her for a reason. If she said maybe then there is a good chance that she could have done it.

      Ask your wife what happened before the neighbour stopped her and exactly how she manoeuvred her car in relation to the damage car.

        That person was the owner of the car.

          @BLN39: It's just getting better and better. The owner of the car that your wife hit actually saw her hit it and confronted her. SMH.

          @BLN39: You know that your wife can make contact with the other vehicle, damage it but also not suffer any damage to her own car?

      You said it's the owner further down. Not sure if you or your wife lie more

  Do you have pictures of the other car?

  Do the mudflaps line up with the scratches?

  Just need pictures to see if it's plausible

  No single proof from his side.

  Except for this part lol

  She was not sure. She was stopped by the owner of another car.

  Hand over your insurance details before you make even more of an arse of yourself to your neighbours.
