Sounds encouraging. Good luck getting well and back on your feet financially.1

Little update on this.
Car has been returned and the invoices have come through.
Somehow the cost for the repairs and damage is way less than I expected.
Given I was quoted £2600 at least for the bumper repair and there was a few scratches, the wheel trims were buggered and wing mirror cap missing I had easily expected it to come to 3500 or 4000.
I had said that anything that totalled under 7k including the milage I would be happy with.
In the end the entire of the damage cost came to £1170. Milage was as expected 3 and a half k.
The bumper was put down as £400 on the itinerary.... how on earth could it have been so cheap?
So a total of 4700 was over 2 k less than my best expectation.
We are now setting up a payment plan for around £40- 50 a month until I am in a better position.
Thanks.7
