Hi All- hope someone can offer us some advice on this.
Our 10 year old car was hit by another car a couple of weeks ago and was undriveable after the crash but Thank God no injuries in either car - the other party accepted liability. The insurers have come back to us to say they have written off our car ( the cost to repair is more than the current value) and they have offered us €1450 (what they deem to be the current market value)
What I am having problems understanding is that we were paying fully comp insurance on the original value of our car (€9000) for the last 8 years.
If the car were in a driveable condition we could at least avail of a €2k scrappage deal on a new car.
Feeling seriously hard done by at the moment as we had'nt planned on getting a new car until next year, I havent accepted anything at the moment - would really appreciate any any advice or to hear of anyone with a similar experience
Thank you.
