Thank you so much for taking time to respond.
To answer your question, the written off car was sent to a salvage yard to be destroyed and having witnessed the mess it was in, I am more than glad that this action was decided upon.
The car we are going to purchase is ready for us, having gone through independant mechanical inspection, history check etc, but after five weeks we expected to have received the cheque. I cannot understand why there is such a delay and wondered if anyone knows what the usual period for such payments take.
It has been a nightmare few weeks since this accident, with untold stress whilst coping with delayed shock and injuries.
Thanks again in advance of a response.
