They will most likely take the car and that will be the end of it. No money will change hands.
Can i cancel my claim at any time?, I still have the car and could get some money scrap.
I would be very annoyed if they just took my car..........

Have a look at your policy documents about cancelling a claim.
Comments in bold.
Not true.
You only pay the excess when you claim for the repairs to your car, or have the excess deducted if your car is a write off, and you claim for it.
If the other driver is claiming, then you may as well.
Let them write off the car, deduct your excess and you get the remainder. You'll literalyl get naff all scrapping it.
Scrap value is.......
Currently £112.00
I would like to take a quick moment to say thanks again for everyone's help on this thread.
You wouldn't believe how much grief and stress this little thing has caused me !
It's times like this where paying insurance to a reputable company makes all the difference. What is cheap at quote stage, can be cheap in service.
