I’m not sure this is even the place for my question, but I just got an email from Enterprise (the company my school uses for school vans) saying they’ve found damage on a van I used for a club activity and that they’re filing a claim against me to pay for the damage. I honestly don’t think I’ve damaged the van, and since multiple students use the vans throughout the year, I’m not sure why they thought to file the claim against me without asking me about it.
The notice they sent me sounded pretty final, but I want to contest it and get out of it if I can. I guess my question is that if I do get out of it, they’ll probably seek payment from my school, and then I’m afraid it’ll get dicey and end up being more trouble than it’s worth. Should I go after it or just pay?
