Edit: thanks for your advice. I've taken legal advice over this and the issue is between the garage and the owner, not myself.

    As you have already made a payment then you have probably closed the door to pass this onto your insurers to deal with.  You probably need to pay the rest now and chalk this down to experience.

    As above.  You've somewhat boxed yourself in.  I think you have three options.

    Refuse and see what the other party does.  Will he contact his insurance and/or yours?
    Notify your insurer and see what the consequence is.
    Pay up and hope that's the end of it, and also trust the other party not to notify his insurer for information purposes.
  • You should have got the other person to sign a declaration that your payment was in full settlement of the claim before you paid it. How many other issues is he going to find and try and charge you for?
