I rented a Home Depot truck for a day. When I was returning it, this idiot had his car parked in the middle of the road. I tried to manoeuvre by and get a parking spot. I thought I got by perfectly fine. I hear a guy yelling after me after I parked the car.
I walk over, and notice that there is a slight touch of tires (my tire touched his since there is a dirt mark on his tire as it was turned outwards). There is a slight black spot on the car, but I’m not sure if it was caused by me. He tried claiming the hood was dented because of me and that there were multiple other black stains because of me (I know for a fact that it wasn’t me).
We exchanged drivers licence pictures and I took a photo of his car and a video of mine. He wanted me to pay but I know that he’s blowing the issue out of proportion and has no evidence to substantiate any claims (aside from Home Depot cameras, since he had to dashcam).
Here’s the kicker - the truck was rented under my brother’s name but I was the one driving it and it was my licence I let the guy take a picture of. While my brother got insurance for it under his name, I’m not sure if it covers this. Again, there is no evidence to substantiate his claim and he’s trying to blow it out of proportion. He messaged me yesterday saying he went to multiple dealers and that the cost of painting the small scrape would be $400. I know this is a scam from him.
Should I just tell him to speak to his insurance? Another thing to note - as I left the parking lot on my brothers car (since we returned the truck)- I noticed he stayed back after we left, then brought his car over to where I parked the truck. Did he try to do anything to the truck? There were no stains or dents on the truck and I have evidence.
