I know a person who recently was involved in a fender bender with another, illegally parked car. Basically, trying to back out of a parking space he scraped the bumper of the other car (parked perpendicular to theirs.) My friend left a note with his phone number, wanting to take responsibility for the damage. After trading messages with the owner of the other car, my friend spoke to the gentleman who was out of town on business. He said he would call my friend when he returned. He never did. Several months later, my friend received a call from a subrogation company stating that the owner of the other car filed and was paid a $1,900 insurance settlement for the alleged damage (which wasn't nearly that much). Now the subrogation company has been calling my friend trying to get his insurance info and telling them to pay the $1900. He hasn't given his info. My friend still wants to make good but believes the other gentleman wasn't truthful in his claim. How can my friend negotiate?
