Posting for advice please.
My husband had a small bump in his car in a car park and caused a slight graze to the bumper of another vehicle (a colour-coded BMW bumper though!).
He left a note and the owner contacted him. The owner said he didn’t want to go through the insurance. He said he is selling the car and the garage that is taking the car in part-exchange said they would fix the damage for £250 (they estimated that an insurance loss adjuster would cost the job at £1000).
He’s had the job done and now wants my husband to pay him the £250 in cash. We don’t really have that spare cash. It would have been better for us to go through the insurance as it wouldn’t have affected our policy premium too adversely.
Has anyone got any advice as to where we stand with this situation. My husband accepts it was his fault but the owner’s course of action is going to leave us very much out of pocket. Isn’t this why we pay insurance?
Thank you

Bump in the car. AIBU to query a cash request.
