Default Re: XR5 Drive belt failure

I do have ford road side assist and vehicle is under insurance also. The original price to repair was going to be around the 3.5k mark, but after that it just kept on creeping up by 1-2k as more and more things where found needing replacing. It looks like the route cause from what I can gather is the blockage in the power steering rack. Some how this caused the power steering pump to seiz shredding the drive/fan belt. As for the bent valves they are saying from over revving (I'm the only one who drives this car and can honestly say that I have never over revved it). How could all this happen in an instant, bent valves and shredded drive/fan belt, power steering failure etc. I just don't know what to do anymore.
