Hi all ,
Hope this is the right section, 3 weeks ago whilst parked outside my daughters gym on a main road a car went past and smashed my mirror off completely and continued driving.
I jaded after them and noticed they had stopped in the distance in a fire station so I pulled alongside and the guy admitted doing it and said really sorry please don't go through insurance so I took his details and said I would check in the morning the damage and look for prices .
Which I did so told his price for a second hand mirror and would fit myself too save him some money he said ok can you wait until end of his month when he gets paid which I stupidly did too nice for my own good.
My car was for sale at the time and had someone interested so paid out of my own pocket too get it repaired.
You know what's coming next
Now the guy is refusing too pay and saying go through insurance but I have since Sold the car where do I stand guys?

So if someone damaged your car to the tune of £130 they give you grief about not paying when they said they would you'd pay it out of your own pocket?
