Hi, I need some advice on a very minor door ding or paint chip that occurred to my daughters Narcissistic, Machiavellian, Sociopath ex-boyfriend's $160,000 Audi R8. My daughter had been dating this guy who had us all fooled. He begged her to move in after about 4 months of dating and said that he would pay for rent and bills as she recently graduated nursing school and has a rather large student loan debt. He owns and runs an exotic car rental business. While they were still together, they went out for dinner in the Audi and someone in the parking lot parked too close to the passenger door. When she opened the door, it may have hit the car beside it and caused either a small paint chip or ding. He said nothing of it until after they broke up. And now he wants her to pay for the repair which he claims is $3,000. This guy was the nicest guy until she moved in with him. She moved out 2 weeks after moving in because he did not want her going out with her girlfriends and he complained about her texting and talking on the phone with her mother and I. He would not even let her watch the TV shows that she liked. And if she did something that he did not like he would belittle her and give her the silent treatment. He became very controlling, petty and vindictive. He started to exhibit signs of the "Dark Triad" which is narcissism, machiavellenism and sociopathic behavior.
What I want to know is what is her responsibility here. Does she owe him for the damage? What are her chances of winning if this goes to small claims court? I talked with a detective because he had used her credit card for some business expenses without her permission (he was holding this above her head but he finally paid her back when I texted him and told him I talked to the police). He felt that there is not a judge that would rule in his favor because that is the risk you take any time you are in a parking lot.
I also called my insurance company and they said it would fall under his insurance as insurance follows the car and she was not driving.
Any thoughts on this matter? Should we tell him to go through his insurance, go to small claims court or just ignore him.
Much thanks!
