Hi all, I'll try and keep this as short as possible.
Recently while stationary at a junction my car was rammed from the rear by a foreign driver. The car itself had a Polish reg and was a complete pile of crap which looked like it had been in other accidents and probably wouldn't have passed any sort of MOT test.
The (Polish) driver of the vehicle that hit mine then started to say that the damage to my car wasn't done by his car and refused to exchange details or give me his name, so I called the Police.
The guy then starts trying to bribe me with cash but I tell him it's too late and the Police are coming.
Over an hour later
a Policewoman arrived and took some details. To my amazement she seemed to be siding with the Polish guy and saying he couldn't have damaged my car like that! Well sorry, but it was fine when I set out on my journey, and suddenly I'm feeling like the accused instead of the victim here! 
Anyway, she takes photos and gets some details from us both and tells me he's going to dispute the claim!
Finally get home and phone my insurance people who tell me they can't find his details on the database as his car and insurance are both foreign, and as I'm only third party I'm effectively on my own now.
So what I'm trying to find out now is what options are open to me. I have some details of his insurance in Poland but what should I do to try and claim?
I'm really ****** off with this as it's the second time I've been hit by a Polish driver and the second time I've had major hassle with them.
Feels like I've got a bit of whiplash too ffs!
