Dont worry I'm not going to offer you legal help and promise you money.

I was involved in a crash that wasn't my fault long story short the guy admitted fault, just been on the phone to his insurance company (got a letter through the door from them AXA) While on yhe phone the guy asked about injury sustained etc so told him my shoulder was injured, he asked a few questions then said he would give me 500 now and after I've seen a doc from a group called doctors chambers I'd be given the final amount depending on my injury.

The only thing I thought was odd was he asked for my sort code and acc number so I gave him one of an account I have but don't use (savings account so cant do anything with it) just curious if this is standard procedure these days?

Yep, quite normal to offer money upfront for injury as its a nice earner :-( I was shouted at for not claiming injury money when a power ranger ran into the back of my car.

they cant do anything with your account number and sort code. only pay in.

usually only get asked the other card details when paying out
