Landlord making a claim

So I moved out my last home as the landlady was moving back until it
I was only there 6 months
Anyway I accidentally dropped my hair dryer and made a burn on the carpet. When the inspection came I disclosed what I did and obviously said I would repair
I moved out 5th the inspection was done 6th and heard nothing so I called Friday 14th to be told I need to wait until she's had her quotes
I called Monday as I said it's been 12 days and I would like to know how long it's going to be
It's now Wednesday and nothing
The letting agency said i can call the dps but surely they should still e trying to sort ?
Any advice as this has never happened to me before
Thanks in advance

It was minging honestly and I wish I never moved there but unfortunately me and lo had split from my ex and we really had no choice at the time
We are now in a lovely home and it's nice and clean with fresh lovely carpets ! I believe in karma I think she is being a real cow

I hope you get it sorted.
I think some people forget that rent includes money for wear and tear, things will get damaged and somethings will wear out.

Wear and tear is very different to a carpet being burned though.

Hope you manage to sort something out OP.
