Blimey! That's outrageous.
Okay, so let's say that I fix the bumper at my expense and the other party agrees that we settle privately. Can they file a claim later on? Is there anything we can sign or do to make sure he does not claim in the future following private settlement?
Also, the car is on PCP - doesn't this mean that the bumper needs to be fixed by an authorised dealership?0 -

PCP will depend on your contract but you'd expect to lose money from the GMV given the damage, so a proper repair would be vital unless you intend to keep the car at the end.
Stop stressing though, you have witnesses, he was at fault, his insurer won't fight it no matter what he says, let insurer fix it, claim the excess back off his firm and go from thereSam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
