Third Party car insurance claim
Comments

Are you certain about this?
My understanding was that the responsibility for due dilligence falls entirely on the seller and it's a "sold as seen" situation.
Firsthand experience with the house one. Even got to the stage of a debt collection agency but as they had rectified the "faults" themselves (supposedly) they hadnt a leg to stand on.
Scots law and english law does differ though.0 -
Just out of interest are you entitled to have cash as an alternative.
e.g. if someone put a scratch on my car but it was only cosmetic and I wanted cash, am I entitled to that and do what I want with the money, or a, I strictly only entitled to the repair.
My legal expenses only allow repair- trouble is they pay up front and claim from other party- not happy with this as matter might be disputed and a "pay out has been made on my insurance which has to be recovered"0 -
Don't follow.
Your op said you only had third party insurance, and asked for advice on how to write a letter.
Now you tell us you have "legal expenses" - why aren't they writing letters for you?? And which insurance has already paid out for your repairs??0 -
from the OP's last post, sounds like they are onto a Credit hire company, who have repaired the vehicle under a credit repair scheme.
I could be wrong but the OP is about as clear as mud.0
