My wife received a letter saying that she was being sued by an insurance company. The company was basing the lawsuit off of a police report that stated that my wife’s car was involved in an accident with thir client. We tried to tell them that they had the wrong person but the lawfirm insisted that they were looking directly at the police report, they read off my wife’s information (tag number, VIN, make, model, etc.)

We went to the police station to look at the report and sure enough it had her information logged into their computer. It stated that a guy was using her car, drove drunk and hit someone. The guy then jumped out of the car, ran from the police on foot and was arrested. The car was impounded. We tried to explain to the clerk that we did not know who the person was and that they had never driven our car. She insisted that we must have. We asked if the car in question had been impounded and they said yes. We went to the impound and found the car that was involved in the accident. It was sitting there on their lot with damage exactly where the report said it was.

We compared the information from my wife’s car and the car at the impound and the tags and VIN were completely different. Not one number was similiar. We spoke to the owner of the tow company and he remembered the event and knew that the car we were looking at was indeed the car in question. He comfirmed that our car was not the car involved in the wreck. The only thing in common was that they were both pontiacs. Different year, color and make. Just pontiacs….

We go back to the police station with the information and the officer who wrote the report would not speak with us. We had to go through supervisor after supervisor before we finally got the officer outside. He then admitted that when seeing our car “that I know that isn’t the car that is involved in the wreck. That car is still at the impound”. When we asked him how he got all of my wife’s information on the report, he could not give an answer.

My wife was, at the time, trying to get a job with Honda and was close to a custody battle with her ex and if the report had gone unnoticed, that could have caused huge damages to her name and chances to keep her son. They would have suspended her license and revoked her registration for her car. I know that filing a false police report is a crime in all states and in some cases could be defermation (sp) of character. Especially in this situation. My question to you is, do you think that we have a claim against the city or should we say no harm no foul and let it go?

I joking told someone I was going to sue for 100k and a police car…
just so i could pull over cops!!!.. I’d go to jail for that sh*t..

Any my second question is, how does a police force screw that up and randomly come up with someone else information? If this happned to us and we barely caught it, how many other police reports have been messed up and justice has not been served in some form or fashion?

sorry so long
wow devan.. you’re a big boy.. you should be proud of youself.. difference is, i can say that in front of my parents because I am an adult.. if you do it, you get sent to bed without dinner.. shut up and grow up.. i did that to be polite to others..
the information on the police report was that of my wife’s.. the some how manufactured her information and put it on the police report.. once we found the actual wrecked car at the impound, we were thinking that maybe one number was different and that it was a typo but every number was different from hers so we didnt know where they got her information.. that is why we were being sued.. because the police report had my wife’s information on it..
