I wouldn't give a shit about the runner getting a criminal record,  that's his problem. I'd definitely report him for it, I have cctv as well, which might help.

I'd say as soon as the gardai are involved the money will be paid out fairly quick.You wouldn't wanna end up in court over fifty euro.

Not sure the Gardai would have much interest. There's more videos of them getting the bollix bet out of them up above in Dublin doing the rounds on anti-social media. If they can't look after themselves what chance have the rest of us got?

My barber went to court over 10 euro.

The guy who didn't pay was a guy with loads of convictions,  I suppose I admire the barber in a way, these low lives sail through life screwing everyone over, why let them off?
It might send out a message to others thinking of running from taxis.

That happens on about 60-70% of cash jobs now.
It makes your accounts a pain in the hole,because you can't just add your app takings to your credit card receipts for the tax man.
I keep a written record of my street jobs to get my shift totals, not app jobs as they are already recorded.
If a street job is paid by card then I 'Ring it' and add the total Ringed jobs at shift end, and keep a daily log on street card work.
At year end the apps will tell you what you earned fer the year and then add on your recorded street card jobs (+ your unrecorded street cash work) fer your final figure to Mr Taxman.

You shoulda kept that to yourself. You'll have the other two down your neck now cracking on about dishonesty! 8)

I did reply and give them permission to give the lad my number yesterday but he has not rung me yet.

I will get on to them again stating that and ask if his account has been blocked.

"To FN,

The customer has not contacted me to arrange payment.

Will his account be blocked now by FN or will he be able to do the same to another driver ?"




Any response?

I was talking with another taximan at the weekend who had a similar problem and was told they can block the client from him only.

One can do that oneself AFAIK since I last used the app.
"So look into the mirror, do you recognise someone, is it who you always thought you would become, when you were young?"

I don't think it works if you do it yourself.

No required response, only the basic Contact Gardai, and block him on your account.

I already had a frank exchange with them last year over non-payment of Sept/Oct Bobo's due in Nov,
after a multiple of wishy-washy excuses they were eventually paid in Jan.

Also over the so-called "Up to €600" Chrimbo Bobo offers which were a sham, I (Ambassador/Gold) was only offered €295 worth in total, but they used word-play to talk their way out of that stating the words "Up to" !

And then the Scrub fiasco, where they did Not pay automatically, or even after a scrub had been requested and a further email sent. I was told wrongly by them that I had not phoned the client, so I then had to take screenshots of my phone log and send them off, which was seemingly accepted and I was told I would be paid the week after, which I wasn't !  So I emailed them again, got the usual wishy-washy excuse and hopefully I will be paid next week ??
