What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida Hello, My 17 yr. old son hit a parked vehicle in a parking lot, the police were called, damage was less than $500.00, so a change of info was issued, no one was cited , I had a relative show up to the scene of accident, talked to both police and the person with the damaged car, the damage was very minor. I called the person and assured them that I would have the car repaired, did not want to make claim with ins. co. they agreed, after 2 weeks they called with 3 estimates 2 acceptable, 1 very expensive, Iasked when they wanted to get the car repaired, and said I would call the body shop we agree on and when they finished and the car was acceptable, I would pay the shop for repairs, Well the person said that they wanted me to make the check out to them and not the body shop? How to I have proof of repairs? How do keep them from coming back and saying I never repaired the car. If they just want to get paid and not repair the car, do I have any rights? Can I offer a reduced $ amount and have a "Property Damage Release Form" signed? Can they contact my Insurance Company and force me to make a claim? Thanks any help would greatly appreciated.
