Rear end shunt driver claims front vehicle reversed into her

I was stationary at a set of Red traffic lights and was hit from behind by a car who failed to stop in time. The owner apologised and we exchanged details. I reported the accident the next day to my insurance Company. Now my insurance company is saying that they have received a letter saying that the other driver is saying that I had gone over the line at the Red light and I then reversed back into her without looking. This is clearly "made up". I also have reversing sensors fitted as standard in the car. How is this case treated in court as there were no witnesses? There was fairly large damage to front of her car and minor damage on mine.

A rear end shunt with no frontal damage is a classic non-fault case and you should write back to your insurer stating that you were stationary, you did not reverse and the other driver hit you up the rear and admitted liability at the scene.
