Can I challenge an incorrect write off category?
Can I challenge a Category S write off? My Renault Kangoo was rear-ended at about 3mph and sustained no chassis damage. The bodyshop said it was Category N, but four weeks after the car was inspected, my insurance sent a letter stating that it was a Cat S.
