re: Body shop endorse my name.

Perhaps your employer will have the same policy as you in their payments to you. In other words, if you make an error in your time sheets, expense records, etc.. and under bill your company then you need to "pay" for your mistake and eat the money your company should have paid you.

Perhaps your company will take the same approach and of all of their employees, you are the one who will understand why your
paycheck is less than what you earned.

What goes around in life comes around.

Just for the record, I hardly doubt their handling of the check for the damages to your car is their standard policy. As an insurance adjuster, I'm sure you already investigated that angle. A simple apology is all that you were "owed". Who pays for increased costs due to unreasonable customers???? We ALL do!
