Help/Info:car being wriiten off after previously being told repairs were authorised

vinnyc_2

My car was in an accident, as I was not at fault i was put through to another company by my insurer who then arranged for a garage to repair it. On Wednesday I got a call from the garage to say repairs had been authorised and they were just awaiting parts only to receive a text message the next day telling me my car was a total loss and i had 6 days to collect it or there would be a charge.

I think the garage has given a quote to the insurer; who's accepted it, but now i think they've added things on/increased the price. Is this right?

Any help would be appreciated

This doesn't make any sense.

I suggest you give your insurer a call and find out what is happening

You can't do anything. Accept the right off and accept a cheque in the post from the insurers for the blue book value of your car.

So you're advising them to accept the first offer?

Vinny this poster is a troll.

Entirely possible that they've started to strip the car down, and found hidden damage that hadn't been taken into account beforehand.

and i had 6 days to collect it or there would be a charge.

Point them to whoever organised it on behalf of your insurer. Their problem.
