When you try to be nice...

So... we moved into our house mid-November.  December 15th we got new windows in our house and seconds after I got home, someone hit my car.  The window lady and I saw it happen.  I played phone tag a few times with this guy, and really, I didn't want to go throuh insurance for a fender bender, I was trying to give my new neighbor a break.   He scratched and dented the rear bumber, and it will cost $5-600 to repair.  I got three estimates on my lunch hour the next day.  Called and played phone tag with him a couple of times.   Then it was the holidays... and I didn't want to deal with it.

I just called him- and he acted like I was inconveniencing him!   He's the one who hit my car!   I said it would be $5-600 and he first asked what I wanted him to do about it, and then said he couldn't pay it this month. I said we need it done soon since it scraped metal and I don't want it to rust.  He said "I don't remember it being that bad".  I said, "it's not- it's the labor. They have to remove a panel, match the paint, buff it, and paint it. It's a 2-3 day job."   Seriously, Dude! I was trying to be nice by not driving up your insurance costs!!  AND.. he hit my car (Ford Focus) with a shiny new BMW!!

  • Argh! People are such PITA. Is it still possible to turn it into the insurance?

  • We had a similar incident while we were on vacation one year. In the end, the lady refused to pay us anything. Ugh! I'm still bitter about that. Anyway, I hope it works out for you and you get paid soon. That's a very frustrating place to be in.
  • How annoying!!! I'd forget being nice at this point and go through your insurance. He he's going to be a jerk about it and say he can't pay and what's he supposed to do and all that - go through the insurance so that you know it gets fixed. It's his own fault (for both the accident and being a jerk!) so he gets to deal with the repercusions.
