What is the name of your state? Florida
I rear ended someone while driving my fiancee's car, we did not file a police report because the damages seemed very small. I gave her my name, address, number and license #, but took nothing from her. The next day we got a verbal repair estimate of $250 - $350. I wanted to get a written estimate but she said she worked every day, and had a life on the weekends. Thus, I offered her $300 and said if it turned out to be less, she could keep the extra, if up to $350, I would pay the difference. She agreed. I wrote her a check for $320 and told her to have a couple drinks on me (trying to be nice). We shook on the deal, and we were both happy. She cashed the check 2 days later, and then 2 days after that she calls and says she went to a new repair shop (a customizing place) and the estimate is $1000. She wants me to give her $700 more now.
Well, that wasn't what we agreed upon, and I don't think she's being very fair here. Can she now sue me for $700 more?
Please help.
