My son has had a letter from a solicitor dealing with his claim (other side taking full blame) with an offer for his van after it has been deemed a write off. The letter also says he can keep the van. They say it also has a salvage value but how to you go about sorting that out?
At the moment it is still insured but when he accepts the money it will not be. It is drivable because he drove it to the place to have it assessed and back again and only knew it was unroadworthy when the report came today.
Nobody is at all helpful when you phone them.

Does he actually want to keep it and repair it?
They simply deduct the salvage value off the money he will be paid out. They will choose a price, if he is not happy then haggle it or take the full value and dont keep the van.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0
