Last month my daughter's car was hit while parked and the insurers are saying it is a write off. I am currently arguing with them over the settlement figure. The problem is the road tax ran out on 31st...

My car was recently declared a Cat N write off and I 'bought' the car back for the write off value less £700. I had the car repaired and am still using it. Should I claim the £700 back as I should not...
