I barely hit a new Chrysler 300 with my van leaving a tiny white smudge........?

Question

I did not even know I hit the car until the owner informed me. It was a tiny white smudge on the bumper of her car. I offered to buff it out for her but she insisted on getting an estimate which was 800 dollars. Since then I have agreed to pay the amount in payments of 100 dollars a week. Upon last payment i noticed that the smudge was gone. The husband informed me that he used a buffer to remove it. They still want the 800 dollars. The reason I agreed to pay out of pocket is because the van is a commercial vehicle with high enough insurance now. What should I do? Continue to pay the remaining 600 dollars even though the repair only cost them a buffer and compound.

Answer 1

pay them,you admitted in a public forum that it was your fault,suing them after agreeing to pay isnt going to work

Answer 2

Take 'em to small claims court. How much have you paid? It says "upon last payment"--- If this agreement is not in writing tell'em to get lost you ain't payin' no mo'

Answer 3

I'd definitely take or threaten them with small claims court.  Problem is you don't have photo's.  Ask them if the body shop that gave them the estimate took photographs of the damage.

Answer 4

If you hit it in a parking lot or something like that and the police was not call and no papers where drawn up I would not pay for it... She sould have taken it in.
