Motor Tax Cert arrived in the post torn in half

amiable

My motor tax cert arrived today in the post torn in half.

The envelope itself was torn in half but arrived in a plastic An Post see through sealed envelope
and on the outside it said the letter was damaged in transit.

And an apology on the outside of the see through envelope

Has this happened to anyone else?
Very inconvenient imo.

Well, the motor tax office didn't tear it in half. It was just a genuine error by an post. Happens a lot i'd say during sorting. Get on to the motor tax office and they'll probably just sent a replacement if it's really badly torn.

amiable

I never implied it was the motor tax office fault.
Its beyond repair i'm afraid

Supraman

Just get back onto the tax office who will re-issue another cert. It doesn't happen a lot in sorting offices,%wise it's very rare a machine slices into a letter.

Buffman

Is it the disc or renewal cert that's torn? More than likely done by one of the sorting machines.

If it's the renewal, just fill out an RF100a and tax as normal. Or tax it online.

If the disc is torn, use Sellotape.

Stinicker

Postal services to Vladivostok were always a bit iffy, considering the journey your lucky it arrived at all!

Gael23

The motor tax office should re issue it no problem, but its likely they will ask you to send the torn cert back to them

Don't be so quick to blame the sorting machines..... Virtually every letter that arrives in my letterbox shows signs that someone has tried to peel the flap away to see what's inside. I informed An Post but they didn't want to know.

It was the Disc as stated earlier in the thread and its torn in such a way as that its beyond repair which has also been stated.

The letter was torn down the middle from top to bottom so i don't think it was done by a sorter trying to sneak a peak unless Stevie Wonder is now working for An Post.
Also its fairly obvious what's in the envelope without opening it from what's on the outside of the envelope

I don't see where you said disc? Also beyond repair would mean shreaded IMO, if it's a clean tear then it's fixable.

Stop trying to be clever. It doesn't suit you.

The cert is a disc.

Disc/cert was torn in such a way through the middle that the info on it can't be read.


PS brains, i never asked for advice. I asked had this asked to anyone else.
Please keep up. It would help if you stopped trying to be a smart arse

Daegerty

get a piece of paper and glue the pieces of the tax disc onto it with a bit of pritt stick.

don't worry about the info too much. sure you'll get a new one in a year

I think you are being a bit short with them. Your OP does NOT state disc, it says cert. I would assume this to be the tax renewal letter.

Also who is Brains, and why are you being so smartarsey to him?

Ok, if you insist, there is no such thing as a tax certificate for motor tax in this country. It's officially a vehicle licence, but commonly refered to as a tax disc by everybody, including the goverment. Maybe it's called a cert in Vladivostok?

Anyway, to anwser your question, no it hasn't happened to me.

Did i state the tax disc was for Vladivostok?

If you knew what i was talking about no need to be a smart arse.
It proves nothing except that you are a smart arse.

Most other posters knew what i was posting.
Not my fault you were looking to come across as a smart arse and came across dimly by not replying to the question asked.


PS, what's a renewal cert? Just playing your game:)
A cerificate of renewal?

Buffman has time to thank a post but not to admit he/she was wrong.
Imagine that

It think this is desending into an After Hours thead.

Anyway, I know you didn't ask for advice, but I'm gonna give it anyway and leave it at that.:P

Maybe try and get the €6 back of An Post.

It's an ancient port city in Israel, believed to be one of the oldest in the world, according to Wikipedia. Well, that's one thing I've learned from this thread.

From my reading of your OP I was undecided as to what you were refering, the disc or the computer printed RF100B renewal form with online PIN. Your OP was unclear, so I asked.

A Jaffa is a city? No, the name is the city is Jaffa apparently.

If you are referring to a 'jaffa' that means an impotent man, I apologise, I wouldn't be quite as down with the kids as yourself. However, if this is the jaffa that you are referring to, then I can only assume that is personal abuse towards jaffa20, and such a post would have to be reported.

Are you calling jaffa20 an ancient sea port, or an impotent man?

I am very interested. I hate to see people try to help an OP, who then gets uppity with them for no real reason at all.

I would encourage you to report away, if I am back seat modding (which I don't see how, as I don't see myself issuing any instructions, warnings or censure), I'm sure the mods will be along to warn me.

I just think it funny that you derailed your own thread by basically getting smart with someone for not being sure what form you meant.

Where did I ask for help? You really are on a roll. It helps if you read the opening post

I read it, and I'm assuming this is what you were waiting for: You're right!

However, that may have been crystal clear to you, but it was not clear to me, or to other posters evidently. 99% of posts on the forum are looking for help and advice. I personally wouldn't have interpreted this thread as being a 'let's all tell stories about the day we received our motor tax certs in the post and they were ripped' thread. It's an oddly specific event to be looking for stories about it, without some element of advice being given. And to start showing attitude to the posters who did attempt to 'help' you, in my opinion, is very bad form.

Again though, you are right!

Out of interest, what kind of thread were ya going for? One which was full of replies such as

'Yes'.
'This has happened me also'.
'One day, I got my motor tax cert, and it was ripped'.
