I GOT A QUESTION, HERE'S MY SCENARIO
Well I was in a small accident about a month ago, I hit a girl's door wit the tire of my jeep. We had just been partying in Juarez (Mexico) and came back to my house. Just as I'd dropped her off at her car (she'd left it there for the night) I drove forward in my jeep, not noticing her door was open and broke off her hinge on the door, it closed but it would still need the hinges replaced. She didn't want to call the cops because we had been drinking of course and I wasn't insured at the time so it worked out. I told her that I'd get it fixed for her at a shop that I knew did good work and they'd have it out in a couple of days, she said that was good for her because she couldn't let her parents find out she'd been out that night. Her dad noticed the door the next day, she lied and told him that it happened at a mall parking lot by the way, and told her to go get estimates from other shops and such. My shop would do the job for 300, the ones she went to would do it for 700-1500. Her dad then took over and started calling mE about the situation and since he's been hounding mE to pay HIM 900 for the damages. Now i would understand that if I would have to pay the SHOP since i hear that they get to choose where they want to take it to, but he wants mE to pay HIM. I recently talked to the shop he said he wanted to take it to and they brought the estimate down to 700, he now wants those 700 in cash. He just bought a new BMW for his daughter and I imagine he wants the 700 for payment on the new car or something and he is going to sell the car (a 98 trans am) because he's shown no intention on taking it to the shop for repairs. Now back to the beginning, mE and his daughter had a verbal agreement that she would let mE take care of the damages and she wouldn't have to worry about it. Isn't that good enough? The people that were there remember mE and her talking about it so there's witnesses and all. I'm just asking just in case he decides to take mE to court. I've never denied mE damaging the hinges on the door and accepted full responsibility for taking care of it, but he doesn't want mE to wait for the car to be fixed and pay the shop, he wants mE to pay the 700 to him in cash. Can you tell mE what can be done? Sorry for any boredom reading this or if this is even irrelevant to the article I read. Appreciate any feedback,
Sincerely,
