As the OP has TP cover only, the only thing the insurer is
likely to do is pass the details on to a claims management
company.

Therefore as the police seem to know who was driving the car
that hit his car, he can claim for the loss of his car and other
expenses from the other party. surely the police are obliged to
give those details if they are known.

As I've said above, the easiest way to get the details is to
report the incident as a hit and run. Yes you could look at all
sorts of legal routes to get the information, but filling in the
relevant form on the force website will put this in the intray
of someone who is going to want to get details of insurance
companies exchanged so the report can be closed.

This has deja vu connotations for me. So OP, let me set out my
thought processes at that time and the action which IMO you
should take.
And my case was my wife v Chief Constable of the Sussex
Constabulary and it was a home win!
I found out from the traffic wardens that the police had
instructed a contractor to take my car away because it has been
hit by anothger vehicle and it is severely damaged.
The police ordered the company to remove my vehicle without my
agreement by a contractor that is charging an extortionate
amount.
At present, the attending police officer is refusing to provide
me with the licence number of the vehicle that hit mine, citing
the GDPR. The vehicle that hit mine was left abandoned and he is
waiting to hear from the registered keeper if the vehicle was
stolen,
Traffic warden? Even worse, traffic warden said!!
OP, can we try and put some concrete evidence behind the above
pl.
What written communications have you had with the police?
What power did they say they used in order to, as you say,
remove your car?
You must post written correspondence pl. Nothing else will do.
