You do not have to accept their offer), went to a shop to get clear coat buffed, and used a paintless dent removal place to pop the dent. I received compensation for a full sanding and paintjob. Granted it was not repaired to 100%, I made $900 at the end of the day and nobody would be able to tell I was ever involved in an accident.

If there is a lien holder on the title to the vehicle I think you do have to repair it.
