Very few folks would know this.They're hoping you'll take the few grand and forget about it.I'd say lots of claims get exaggerated by people who have been messed about when they put in a claim.Just shite staff causing problems.

Indeed, the statute of limitations applies regardless. In Mrs. Catcher's case the car was parked with nobody in it when it was hit so there was no possibility of personal injuries claims and they didn't ask her to sign any waivers or anything like that. Conversely going back a good few years, probably around 2002, my taxi (not to be confused with mytaxi, which didn't exist back then, not even as Hail0) was struck by the passenger door of another taxi causing damage to the door mirror. The driver of the other taxi was a bit of a prick - and plata nua scum - and tried to make out it was my fault, even phoned a friend who arrived and pretended to have seen what happened. I told the Garda the friend wasn't there and he had a stern word with the friend who quite timidly withdrew his claim to have seen what happened. Anyway, long story short... I'd no intention of getting the car fixed beyond sticking a €13 replacement glass over the broken bit but because he was such a prick - and plata nua scum - I pursued the full damages to the value of the estimate done by his insurance company's agent which was about €750. After a couple of days he rang me and said he was going to fix me up himself and apologised for being a prick.. taking that into consideration together with the fact that it was actually his passenger's fault not his I told him I'd leave it at a monkey. His insurance company wanted me to sign a waiver stating that no further claim would arise and I had no problem with that so I typed a letter to that effect, sent it to his insurance company and handed him a signed copy in return for my used notes. I don't think the waiver has any legal effect though, although it wasn't an issue in that case.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

The only time I ever put in a claim was when when someone knocked me of my bike.Bloke turned in front of me in Sandycove and I went over the handlebars and bounced along the ground.New motorbike written off.Hit the ground hard and went off in an ambulance.

I had injuries but nothing too serious and probably would have taken a weeks wages and a new bike (about 3k)but the solicitor dick who was driving the car started ringing around asking my company if I was insured and wanting to know if I was paying tax, on the scratcher etc...Anyway ended up getting pissed off that he was trying to intimidate me and got about 22k from his insurance including the old bike for 300 euro which I rebuilt for buttons.The moral of the story is be nice when yer at fault and people won't try to claim against ya.Most people are decent and wanna do the right thing.

When I worked for eircom many years,ago,I was up on a pole doing some work when the fukking pole snapped at the butt.I was hurt a little,but not badly enough to claim .I was wearing the leather belt that we used to wear and I was attached to the pole ,so there was no way I could hump clear.it was the most frightening experience of my life on the way down I kept thinking is this the end of me.I was so thankful,and so,glad,to be still alive .I,srill suffer a little today with my back,but I never put in a claim.im old fashioned I suppose I always believed that kind of money is unlucky,and just goes like water

Anywaysanall, I got loads of post today including 3 letters from Liberty, one containing the elusive insurance cert and disc. All three (including the cover with the cert/disc) were dated 14th Jan despite my being told that the cert/disc was posted on 10th. None of the envelopes have postmarks as they're pay by licence but, as previously noted, I received a letter posted from Dublin on the 14th (the one addressed to Mrs. Catcher - odd as it might seem that was actually posted by Mrs. Catcher on my instruction as Liberty had convinced me that there was an issue with my post and not their inefficiency) the next day... so Liberty clearly didn't post the cert on the 10th or the 14th, more like the 16th, almost a week after they said they posted it. Conclusion being that they are a lying shower of cunts who have no idea of how to conduct business.
It's a diabolical liberty! 8)

Got my cert and disc from BJP in this morning's post - they said they posted it yesterday and I received it today, not a week later as with Liberty.

Rang Liberty to revert the temporary change from 08:00 Sunday. They asked if I was renewing so I told them I wasn't and they asked why... told them about the lies they told me about posting the cert/disc on the 10th explains that these documents are required to licence a taxi and suggested they simply aren't geared up to deal with the taxi trade. Also suggested that a supervisor should listen to the call I had with their "taxi section" on 8th when I was told that the company wouldn't let me own a car that's not covered. For what it's worth the lady, who was pleasant and professional, assured me that those issues will be investigated and thanked me for my feedback.

AXA quoted me 2695  3rd party F&T , up from 2100 last year. BJP wasn`t an option as I dealt with AXA directly. Anyway, TaxiFair quoted me 2100 fully comp with Liberty , painless transaction. I`m now free to use all the brokers, BJP inc, next year.

BHT,

Ask them to change the excess to €500 instead of €250.
Your car is of the older model and isn’t worth much should it be written off. What’s €250 to you if it was to be written off
