£100 for scuffign a car [angry at myself]

[misdee]

just driving back from harefield, 2mins from home, busy street near shops, driving past the park cars and i scuff a parked car. huuuuuuuge bloomin thing it was. swopped details, just phoned my insurence company (mobility car) and its gonna cost me £100 excess for essentially some scuffing on my car i anm such a wally.

What a nightmare misdee. It might be worth asking the other person to get a couple of quotes first. depending on the size and location of the scuff it could be cheaper to just pay it yourself rather than the cost of the excess and losing your no claims.

Someonme has scuffed the wheel arch of my brand new car whilst I was in the shopping centre. Happened last week. I wasn't there at the time and no one left any details :(

no claims isnt an issue due to being mobility car. the car has to be fixed to 'standard' otherwise when i sned it back i'll be charged. just its a PITA.

oh and thy said i;d get a small car like a corsa as mobility car, HTF am i meant to transport Peter in a corsa? grrr are bollocksy ar*e.

courtesy car even.

um .. if its just a scuff get some t-mark (?) from Halfords .. you just polish it on and it takes it off

doh

theres a couple of smaller scracthes on taht side already when a branch was sticking into the rd near harefield and whacked the car.

i think going to harefield is becoming dangerous

i so know what you mean about courtesy cars I got a nissan micra. couldn't fit a wheelchair in the boot or her carseat in the car.

twiglett, it has to be done properly, my sort-of grandad scracthed his, and got it repaired without claiming, and he got charged as it wasnt up to standard.

if it was my own car then i wouldnt even bother with the t-cut lol.

misdee, do you have to do it now? Couldn't you save it up with the others scratches etc until it's time to hand it back and get them (and the other Harefield scuffs and scratches you're bound to get!) all done at once? My neighbour does that with hers.

i've already called to put it through. the other person will be claiming as well. this is my 1st time doing this, so am unsure on what happens. my other accident involved a lamp post
