    I'm sorry but regardless of whether you will incur any financial loss as a result of this - assuming you did not in fact damage this person's car - I'd be damned if I'd let my insurers pay out on a claim upon which the only 'evidence' is a scribbled note stuck to my windscreen.

    No offence Datostar but what's to stop me (hypothetically) sticking a note to your windscreen next week saying that you've damaged my car - would you honestly ring your insurers and be okay with them paying me out?

    My insurer has passed it to their 'Proactive Team' to handle. I think that means a lot of digging into it and any gilding the lily should show out.

    I always find it amazing the amount of naysayers on here and the people who make out that people are telling porkies.

    No-one actually knows who people are on here, so wheres the benefit in BS? :huh:
    Proud of who, and what, I am. :female::male:

    Pity the other fellow didn't stay around to show me the alleged damage, then I might have known a bit more. Offering to take £200 'between ourselves' and not involve insurance companies wasn't very appealing. My son's in the bodyshop trade and a lot of minor plastic bumper touches are farmed out to specialist repairers or done by 'Chips Away' type operators for much less than that. Even quite severe scrapes and splits can be repaired.

    And I find it amazing the number of posts that come perport to be "please help me, I'm innocent", when the truth is "I've cocked up, how can I wriggle out of it?"


    No offence to the op in this case ;)
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)
