i reversed my car out of a parking space ages ago and reversed into another car which was also reversing out of a space. i didnt see him at all , and he claims he wasnt moving.
we went through the insurance and its gone 50/50, it probably was my fault but im not 100% sure as i didnt see him.
i replaced the broken light on mine but have not yet sorted out spraying the rear bumper.
ive seen him since the accident and his cars been repaired but he insists i owe him £200 for his excess he has had to pay due to the fact its gone 50/50 and he is adament it was my fault....

what do i do ?? pay up or tell him to clear off ??

Send the letter to your insurance company; certainly dont pay, your policy indemnifies you. Id tell him to **** off myself.

Surely, if it's been settled 50/50 by the insurance companies then that's the end of the matter.

Politely, but firmly, tell him to take a running jump.

umm if the insurance co decided 50/50 then you both have to accept that and both pay your excesses.

CooperS

Tell him to pay your excess as you were adament it is his fault.

suprabeast

tell him where to go... its agreed 50/50, you each pay your own excess off

It's a 50/50 tell him where to go

davegtt

aye pay your own excess then leave it, if he persists, tell him you'll pay his £200 excess if he pays your £350 excess

Do not pay his excess!!!

Sometimes things like this go 50/50 when its clearly 100% someones fault, but thats the way it goes. I had to pay a 900quid excess for an accident which wasnt my fault, but sh*t happens! He should just pay up and forget about it!

the only downside is that a) i know the guy fairly well ,but he aint no mate b) he only lives about 4 miles away c) i dont want any hastle

50/50 is 50/50 - if he continues to harass you just tell him you'll refer the matter back to your solicitor.

oh and i havent payed my excess cus im not claiming on my damage, im down on money for the rear light and my bumper that needs respraying...

...which will cost precisely £200, no?

Ask him to put it in writing - then forward to insurance company - then forget it.

His disagreement is with his insurance co - that accepted 50:50, not you.
