So this law firm is coming after me for some damage I caused to this lady's car. How does this sort of thing work? Can I pay them back incrementally? Can make a settlement for something smaller? I'm really stressed about calling them back.
Just call them and ask what they want. All the questions you just asked could be answered by them. Don't admit to anything.

The claim was already filed with the insurance agency they represent. They know it was me.

Oh and they want like $900
Simple answer: give them $900 and stop driving like shit.
Complicated answer: hire a lawyer for several thousand dollars and stop driving like shit.

I don't drive like shit. It was like .025 seconds of negligence. Damage looked like pic related. No joke.

isnt that bad. arrenge with her, and go to a workshop for it to be fixed at your expense.
easy

It was in a different city and its already been fixed.
Just call them back. I'm sure they'll be able to put you on a payment plan. Better for them to get all the money out of you eventually than none or just some of the money out of you now.
>>18262853
well then ask her for the bill she had to pay and that's it.
...
what? she doesnt have it? Then where the fuck did that 900 bucks number came from?!
>>18262864
Yeah, ok.
>>18262868
The law firm, pay attention.
just call your car insurance and tell them to deal with it if you don't have 900$.
>>18262879
Oops! forgot about that.
Humm... i think you should just pay the 900 or try asking for a payment plan, you may end up paying a little more but at least they will get their money and you can take it easy with the payment.
seems fair enough for me.

"I don't have $900 and am not likely to see that sum in the near future. I can scrape together $600 right now if you will accept that as payment in full, or I can commit to $20 a month for the next 7 years"
Don't offer anything less than 2/3 and do have the $600 ready.
