Drive Assist In Administration have not paid Motofix Accident Repair Centres

I was reluctantly referred by RAC (MinsterLaw Solicitors) to Drive Assist who were acting as agents for them and the insurance company for a non fault accident. My car has been repaired late last year and the hire car provided returned.
Today I have been advised by Motofix, Accident Repairs Centres that Drive Assist is in Administration and failed to remit payments owed to Motofix by the "at fault party" (the third party insurere/broker) to cover repairs to my vehicle. The legal position is that the debt remains my responsibility. Is this correct?
Can I expect a similar letter for the credit Hire Agreement from Drive Assist's administrators and what is the legal position here?
Can I seek redress from RAC or the insurer?
Please help - what a mess!!!

Ring the other drivers Insurers, if they accept they are liable they will normally agree to pay the garage to release your car. If you need a car in the mean time they may be able to arrange one.
You can also deal with any other losses you have, although I would leave the credit hire out of it.
You can find their Insurers details and contact number for a small fee from this website if you have their reg number https://www.askmid.com0 -
I work for a Claims Management company and that doesn’t sound right to me. Even if you have signed a credit agreement it is unlikely that you will need to pay for the repairs. My advice is to speak to the company who you took the insurance out with first and ask them for help. Whatever you do, don’t just pay it0

What are you there, the cleaner? If you've signed a credit agreement, you're liable for that.0
