Scraping from the rear disc ?
/Flame suit on 
So I have a problem, that I caused myself. Ill admit it, I was stupid. But hey.
I gave a gutter a love tap, one wet day a few weeks ago. Now when the rear left wheel rotates, there is a scraping sound, which is the brake pad caliper, hitting the disc rotor.
What have I bent or buggered ?

Without pictures to work from, if the actual caliper (and not the brake pad) is rubbing the disc, I'd say odds are you bent the axle, likely the flange at the end that the disc bolts to. Possibly the brake backing plate and/or rear axle housing, too.
Must have been quite the love tap.

Juicy details but no pictures!?! Evidence of the carnage is required! 
Glad you got it figured out before something decided to break off and let the wheel go with it. Get a new axle and such?
