Hi folks, just looking for some advice. Last night I rear ended a car at a roundabout. The roundabout was clear but he braked suddenly so I hit him, 5mph at the most. There was very minor damage, only a small scuff on his bumper and only my number plate was cracked. He said not to bother with the insurance as the damage was so minor but he contacted me today giving me a quote for £604 for a new bumper (2003 Fiat Stilo). I said I'd rather go via the insurance as my excess was only half that amount....then later he texted me to say he wants £300. I refused again, then he said he'd milk it dry if I didn't pay him because he want to sell the car anyway. Should this be a police matter as it is now blackmail? or should I just pass his details to my insurance company? I have the texts he has sent.
Many thanks.
Paul
