Do I have to accept a car insurance write-off value?
My car has been written off in an accident. The insurance have offered me £6,100. Should I accept this, as second hand equivalent cars retail at £7,995? The other party accepted responsibility.

No, you don't have to accept the first offer if it doesn't seem reasonable. I would suggest you tell your insurer that there are equivalent cars being sold at £7,995 and provide evidence of this.

Someone reversed into my car from a car park space as I was driving along and crashed into the side of my car. My insurance company have said it is a write off and that my finance company won’t accept...
On what basis does an insurance company calculate the payout figure of a write-off? If it decides to write off my badly accident-damaged car but I think the figure is too low, what are my options?
