Ethics Dilemma ...... Help ?


A cable truck backed into a brick planter on one of my rental homes. Called their insurance company and was told the following:

We will settle for $500.00 or we need an written estimate if it’s over $500.00.

As you may know I don’t have any truck with cable or TV as I don’t want that pollution coming into my life...so they are NOT my favorite people..


Dilemma....... had 2 estimates:

1. $500.00
2. $140.00

Would you take the $500.00 settlement or do you submit the $140.00 and settle for the actual cost???? :huh2:
