Hello,
I was on someones property where they offered an ATV to ride to me.
I went up a hill that apparently was too steep, and the ATV flipped over and rolled down the hill and wrecked.
The owner of the land and the ATV asked if I was ok, and told me that several people had wrecked on his quads, and that he just was happy I was ok.
I asked him to find out the damages and I would do what I could to make good on the damage.
He told me it was ok, don't worry about it, he's just happy I didn't get hurt bad.
I kept saying no, I'm sorry this happened, please find out, to which he kept saying don't worry about it.
There were 4 other people who heard this and would agree it was said.
My intentions are still the same to make good on the damages, but now his wife / girlfriend is handling me through email b/c she says he is too busy.
I told her that I don't have much $$ but I could pay at least $100 a month and that I would pay for years if I had to. But if I could afford more then I would pay more on any given month.
I also asked someone if I could borrow the $$ and they said they would lend me $3000 max but they would only loan if the damages was considered payed in full so they knew I would pay them without worrying about another debt. I offered this to her and she freaked about that too, and said no.
She is saying the damages are $6k+ to buy a new one.
She has taken a hard line with me telling me I have to go get a loan to purchase a new one, even though I told her I could not get a loan for several reasons. One of which is a bankruptcy a couple years ago.
She then started to tell me how I need to be more careful with my family and not risk things and stuff like this wouldn't happen.
Obviously this was an accident, and the owner knows this and is apologetic it even happened.
This has all occured through email so I have in writing.
My question is: If this keeps going this direction where she is hardlining me into things I cannot do and unwilling to accept my offers to rectify the situation, can I fall back on the original offer from the actual owner to not worry about it?
I don't want to do this, but I can't deal with the stress this woman is causing my family.
Thanks for any help,
