They can't refuse as it is YOUR car until you accept the payout, they can't do a thing, so most are happy to settle like this, saves them from costs of disposal also.
The exception is cat cars that have to be crushed/broken these they can't sell back, but those they can the valuation of salvage is 10% of the cost.
We've never been charged for ours yet, but that would only be £30-£40!!
