jesrelax Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 hello,it's great to find this sight at this time! in sept. of this year i had a parking lot fender bender with a 1991 ford probe with 210k miles. most of the damage could have been pulled out with a toilet plunger. at the time i was an uninsured driver. (yes i know, bad) i have a disability and have been unable to work for over a year, so you do what ya gotta do.30 days later i received a letter from "bell corporation of america" requesting me to pay $1,300 for the damage to the insured's car. $1100 + $200 for the insured's deductable. i called them refuting the amount and "lisa" hung up on me.30 days later she called me, again demanding payment. i asked for a copy of the estimate which i received. the est. was done by a dealer, and the total shown was $1100. remember this is a 1991 car with 210k miles. the value of the car was about half of that figure. something smelled fishy.i called her ins. co. and asked for the payout on the accident. it was $387.00the next time she called, my girl friend answered and as a ploy to get me on the phone she said she was with state farm. i took the call and she proceeded with the demands. i told her "lets go to court". of course she hung up on me. that was a month ago. lisa no longer calls me, it's a gentleman that does. he's called 4 times this week and leaves an urgent message for me to call him. i bet if i speak to this guy he'll say there's been a mistake with the est. i don't mind paying my debt but i'm not going to let these leaches get away with these unfair practices! any input is greatly appreciated.matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
