A unique investigation team is fighting back against ‘crash for cash' fraudsters and other bogus claimants, having completed its most productive period to date, with more than £5 million worth of bogus claims thwarted in 2011. Fifteen individuals involved in motor-related fraud or criminal activity were successfully prosecuted in the last quarter of 2011 thanks to Accident Exchange's innovative APU (Asset Protection Unit) squad, helping to thwart bogus claims which drive up individual insurance premiums to the tune of £44. The convictions, which totalled more than 80 years of imprisonment, represent APU's most prolific spell tackling the £350m motor fraud crisis since its inception in 2007. APU remains unique to the industry, helping insurers, solicitors and the authorities thwart complex "crash for cash" gangs and motor fraud in general. It also has an enviable track record assisting Police Forces across the country to successfully prosecute career criminals. |
