NTA make it very dificult to downgrade insurance

[dalymount]

No John , no prove requires from AXA, just 60% discount offered. They didn't even ask if I broke the link with the NTA pH (056) 7751090

Still waiting on AXA to call me back, don't think I'll bother way too much hassle, returning sticker etc

Axa offered a 3 month break on Tuesday as far as I know .I do not have any contact number ,I think you still have to pay but will get a refund probably have to prove you were off the road .

I've to ring on Monday as part of the month to month basis that AXA broker are currently operating,i did cancel my last Direct Debit as i was instructed to do so and to ring back on April 20th.....and then i get the usual threatening letter saying we couldn't collect our money,pay it now or pay the entire outstanding balance by such a date....so i rang and had my payment reduced from €203 to €81.. but it's on a month by month basis as i've said already.

Probably not AXA the other one Rialto is with them he rang them Wednesday they said they had just made a decision I reduced mine earlier this month im with Pierse they gave me a direct Number up North .

[dalymount]

Yes I was also told to ring back on 20th to prevent them taking maysDD

Be very careful if you are making private use of your taxi. Without PSV insurance it is not a licensed taxi so can be confiscated by An Garda Siochana if it doesn't have a private tax disc. You'll get away with a month but after that it'll be dodgy... and rightly so, I guess.

[Shallowhal]

I might have asked in a different thread....if you reduce your cover to SD&P,do the insurance companies inform the NTA that SPSV cover has been removed?

[Rat Catcher]

I think they do but their legal obligations are to Dept of Justice AFAIK.

[dalymount]

I think rat is correct on this one, but sure you inform the NTA yourself when you ring to break the link. I think the email some of us got last night is quite clear . I cannot remember the actual wording, but it makes clear there will be communication  between the NTA, and some govt dept to establish who is working, and who is not

"on this one"... WTF?

are you going to send the tamper proof discs back?

[Octavia1]

Only
Like you, I simply rang the NTA, broke the link there and then, I then rang AXA,who agreed a 60% discount, and as far as I'm concerned that is all I have to do. When im ready to go back I'll simply ring AXA ask them to re establish taxi status on my policy, ring the NTA re establish the link. I can't see anything more I need to do. I couldn't get those discs off in one piece, and I'm not even going to try

sorry dalymount, didnt see the above answer. im not going to send them back either unless they ask again.

[john m]

dont forget to ring the insurance today to register for next months non taxi insurance.

[dalymount]

I'd say one more month (May) should do it. I'm free after that anyway because may was my last payment the following 2months are already paid for from the starting date. I want to tell them to but me back on full taxi status after may, as it's already paid for
