Update: Ok I have not had time to go to a main Peugeot dealer so I went to a little local garage to get a quote - they quoted me £188 + VAT to repair and paint the bumper but this little garage dont have any courtesy cars and would need my car for 2 days so I cant really have it dont there- anyway I thought it would be good as a ballpark figure and he would be able to decide whether he wanted to pay by cash or go through insurance - so rang the ming yesterday he said he "needed time to think about what he wanted to do" and said he would call me back
hes hasnt yet - How long do I give him???

Not very long if I were you, you need your car repaired and if he has to think about £188 which isn't really that much for a car repair then will prob end up insurance anyway!

Ring him again and say sorry fella I need my car fixed (and a hire car), you're dragging your feet a little here so I'm going to go through a claims company. What does he need time to think about, he was in the wrong he should pay.
Go through the proper channels, otherwise you could end up out of pocket here.

Go through your insurance and let them sort it out, that is what you pay them to do. If you are making a no fault claim then it should not affect your NCB for next year. You will then be able to get a loan car for the duration of the repair and a guarantee for the work carried out.
From my own personal experience, arrangements made that do not involve the insurance company seldom work out satisfactorily.

Seldom is, ironically, seldom used.
Good word though.

Why thankyou! I think it's one of those good old woody sort of words that have a bit of substance.  There is a hint of elm...in seldom, which might explain its woody sound. Interesting trees elms...shame we lost so many in teh 70's to Dutch elm disease. |

JFW's gonna use a claims company I think, so no problems there. This bloke is living up to his estate agency tag. He should have been more than ready to get on with paying you, he's dealying you for no good reason.

I give myself very good advice,
But I very seldom follow it,
That explains the trouble that I'm always in...

Just phone him up, tell him you can't be bothered to mess around any longer as the car needs fixing asap, so you're going to go through insurance (he doesn't need to know it'll be a claims company).

Start a personal hate viennetta against him! I don't know how it would work yet but it would be ace. Maybe fill the box with frozen poo. He'd think he was getting a delicious treat, but then... boom! The disappointment would be crushing A vengeful viennetta vendetta! |

So what do your workmates say about this now. Do they still think going the "nice" way was a great idea?
