Hi,
I was involved in a non-fault accident and the other drivers insurance accepted liability. Drive Assist took the vehicle to Motorfix to be repaired. The vehicle was repaired by Motorfix and returned all ok.
I received a letter from Motorfix telling me that as Drive Assist is in administration that I am liable for the £1250 repair bill. They have given me 7 days to pay before they take court action. In the letter they sent me, they said "that by handing the keys over to them that I am now responsible for the debt".
This seems to be very unfair, as my insurance company arranged the repair through Drive Assist, who then got Motorfix to repair. Plus the accident wasn't even my fault, so surely I should be the last person to be stuck with the bill or do they actually have a right to claim from me?
Any advice on this would be great, I don't think they do have a right to claim from me as it was my insurer and Drive Assist who instructed them but I am not 100% on this.
Thank you for your time
