Hi long time lurker first time poster, so be gentle with me please! Yesterday someone rear-ended my car when I was stationary, she admitted it was her fault we exchanged contact details and she said she would text me her insurance details when she got home.
When I got home, she texted me asking to pay for the damage privately and not go through insurance and basically refused to give me her insurance details. The back bumper is quite crumpled so I called the insurance last night and just gave over all the details that she had given me at the scene (address, name, mobile, car reg etc).
So I told her this morning that I had rang my insurance last night and informed them of the crash.
She's now texted and called me numerous times leaving voicemails, asking that I let her pay privately, asking if I told the insurance it was her driving and asking me to tell the insurance it was her dad driving not her! I haven't replied to any of these messages/calls yet.
I'm a bit pathetic and don't cope well with conflict so the constant back and forward is starting to stress me so I'm a bit worried about her reaction when I tell her that I did tell the insurance it was her driving and this is my first ever car crash so I'm not really sure of the etiquette!
So AIBU to just ignore her calls/texts from now on and just leave it to the insurers?
