personally just cause of the fact youde loose ncb, if i was in your shoes ide say he has 1 week to get the money weather he needs to get a loan or put it on a credit card or what ever, if after the 1 week take him to court, after all hes at fault, and also its made your life harder as im sure now your going to have to use public transport to get to and from work/college/uni or to get to anywere you need to go, if it was me ide be making him pay for a buss pass for me to get to work cause to use public transport i need 2 buss passes which are about 20 quid each and it takes about a hour and a half on the buss. also you have the faff on finding a new car ect. got the admin charges for canceling your insurance policie/changing it to the new car etc etc etc.
