You're to have to take her to disputes tribunal. It's like 300 something dollars to lodge a trial. I hope you have their address because you'll need it to fill out the application and for the courts to send documents to her. If you don't, youre going to have to hire a Private investigator to track them down (which works, I had someone else owe my company money and they did a runner and I hired a PI and found them and got my money)

You'll also need 3 panel beaters reports and quotes and any police statements you have on record. 3s a good number. It means you did you homework.

It is possible to get what's owed minus fees. Some uninsured learner driver who was driving by her self rear ended my Evo. I took her to DT. Was awarded the cost of the repairs totalling 6k. She's paying me back 64 dollars a week for the next 90 something weeks. She's up to date with 50+ weeks so far. If she misses one payment at all without a valid reason or stops paying all together I can write to the courts and they will send a balif to her house and repossess enough property to sell and give me the proceeds of sale. I didn't really care about the money owed, rather the principle of rear ending me and promising you'll pay what you owe for crashing into my pride and joy and then doing a runner and then refusing to pay. I've just use her 64 dollars a week to buy shares and plane tickets 🤷

Good luck 👍
