If its on HP it belongs to the HP company, not you.....  That means its not yours until the final months payment is made as well as the final purchase fee.  Whatever happens to it between initial 'purchase' and the last payment definately involves the HP company.....

Would suggest reading your HP agreement in the first instance and then think about it in the cool light of day as to what path you want to take thereafter....

Having driven the brand new Volvo V50 estate with 600 miles on the clock as provided by the RAC after my accident.

It felt like nothing.    No character.  No Personality. Just a bland pokey little car built on a Focus chassis. Zero Presense.

The Omega boot holds more than this awful estate car.

The radio / CD / Speakers are awful.

My about to be ex- 102,000 miles omega feels taughter than this effort.

My MPG was better on the 2.2 Omega than this 2.0 Diesel Volvo reports.

Its computer reports 32.5mpg on Diesel.

The old omega did 35 mpg on petrol.

Given the write off on mine, I'm going to get another Omega.

Stuff the Greens.   And whats this with constant lights on....

a 50mph shunt is signifcant, it is almost certain there will be additional damage beyond what you can see.  And in my experience, straightening chassis' on a jig is never really successful.

Under the HP agreement i beleive you wont see a peeny for the car.
they need to be informed and then they will settle a figure with the insurance company.

Hope you ok but go see the doc as if you have whiplash then if you claim you have a record of it.

Can't you insist on repair if you are the victim?

Not normally.

And would you want a car that was very likely suffering chassis damage?

On the legal side in many places (esp Wales) it is perfectly acceptable for the sheep to roam ( probably dating back to some billion year old by-law) so you might not have any come-back there.
On the physical side, whiplash often takea a while to make itself apparent -- I would nip down to the local A&E to get checked out. You could be suffering from that for quite a while and should be due compensation -- so don't settle or agree to anything until that's been looked at.
