Hi. Our car has been involved in a low speed accident (non-fault).
It went into the insurer's approved garage for repair 2 weeks ago for repair. My wife rang up for an update today and was told it's been written off. Insurance company haven't told us this yet.
Ever since the accident I've had an auction house ringing up and writing to us about collecting the car (even though it was in the garage).
I feel I'm being ripped off as it feels like the first thing my insurance company have done is "sold" my car before they've even assessed the damage. I have 2 quotes for repair of £400 and £1020 and so I'm at a loss as to why it's being deemed a write off.
Any similar experiences or advice welcome.
