I got back from a week vacation last night and there’s a note on my car accusing me of bumping my front license plate into someone’s bumper (who was apparently parked in front of me) and causing paint damage. They said they took pictures of damage and my license plate and want me to call them.
If I did bump their car and scratched it I didn’t know. We parked unloaded kids, suitcases and got on shuttle. There was definitely no impact... it’s been a week since, but my parking warning sensors would have been going off and I don’t remember that either.
Saying that, if it happened I’ll make it right either by paying to get it fixed or running it through my insurance. I just don’t want to get scammed by someone looking for an easy target.
I’ve called the parking lot manager and left a message to see if this person filed an incident report with the lot. Haven’t heard back yet.
Debating on whether I should contact this guy directly and ask for the pictures or just hand it off to my insurance company. It can’t be much damage, so I’d hate to file a claim, but if the guy is totally unreasonable I don’t want him to have my contact info.
I’d also like to make sure his travel timeline matches up that he didn’t bump is car into my plate.
Any thoughts on how I should handle this?
