Hi all,
My wife's car was recently hit by another car whilst it was parked up in her works car park. The driver admitted full liability and responsibility but pleaded that they did not want to go through their insurance. My wife went off and got an estimate for the damage from a reputable accident repair shop (over £1200) and showed it to them. I thought the other driver would then probably go through their insurance. But, no. The next day they handed her the amount in cash and that was that.
My wife was in the process of getting a new car anyway so we listed the damaged (cosmetic) car online at a much reduced price and used that and the money received as a deposit for the new car.
This other driver is now hassling my wife as they want evidence that work was carried out. They have now sent my wife an email at work threatening legal action as they believe the money was taken under false pretences???
My opinion is I would tell them to beat it, as it is now none of their business and perhaps remind them to be a more careful driver in the future. My wife is worried though. What's your thoughts?
