If you're wondering why a new thread was started (And for anyone else for that matter) you will notice it has been standard procedure now for awhile that a thread doesn't go over 10k posts Hence all the "Part 2, 3's and 4's"!

Marlow: I actually had someone do that to me twice the last time I was traveling in convoy in cork. Funny part was, they didn't cop themselves they did it the first time!

****er from kappa smurfit that hit my car is ignoring all calls from his insurance company.

trying to get away with it.

cctv from bank of Ireland thank you very much.


wonder should I go onto the kappa smurfit facebook page and make a holy show of the **** and maybe then things with suddenly move along ?

MetzgerMeister

It's a matter between you and him, nothing to do with his work. If you do that it will only enrage him even more and make matters worse for you.

it was a company car and company insurance policy that it has to go through. and the details he gave were his office number and company phone.

I don't want to make things worse but he already is..... aviva even said to me it takes less than 5 mins worth of a phonecall to him and it's all over like

You know one of those clocks that use lots of petrol and tax

Can't fault it otherwise but it's not suited to what I'm doing

No, because that would be a stupid thing to do. It wouldn't serve any purpose only to embarrass the driver and make you look like a dim witted knob end that can't go true the proper channels.

i actually have gone through all the proper channels, car inspected by aviva accessor, both companies notified by me only and they have being trying to get him everyday but he is ignoring calls from the insurance company and broker,

i've done everything from calling the gardai, doing reports, all insurance companies and pictures sent and so on including the gardai getting cctv footage from the bank.

he is just out right refusing to talk about the whole thing to avoid taking a hit.

my own claims handler said he had another case where they have being waiting 5 months (including sending people to their house) just because they other person doesnt want anything to do with it and theres nothing they can do like.

so sorry if i come across as a bit naive but its not exactly fair when the innocent person is getting screwed over by an asshole.

Surely if you have all that proof the insurance company can just file a claim anyway?
I doubt that they need him to admit it otherwise everyone could just ignore calls in cases like this and get away with it.

i've passed on the pictures already and the gardai will get the footage tomorrow of cctv

i have asked this and aviva keep coming back and saying no they need their side of the story, to see what they say etc.

i think its a load of crap too since everything is there like.

Welp, there's something wrong with the Scenic now.


Foot to the floor, it just feels like it's not boosting, or on half-throttle. Normally it'd chug up a hill happily in third, but it's just not going. No warnings. No smoke. No power. Otherwise it trundles along fine....

Sigh.

I would contact company fleet manager. Its their car. Its not good enough that one of their cars has caused an accident and is gone into hidden. The company wouldn't want this crap associated with them.

Hey lads, quick question....

My windscreen is after getting a crack in it and will need to be replaced.
My insurance has windscreen cover but if I use that will my NCB be in any way affected???

No, windscreen cover is a separate part of your policy so claiming for a windscreen does not affect your NCB

OSI wrote: »

Depends, but shouldn't do. Had mine repaired a couple months back, and had no affect on mine, I'm with Aviva but others might differ. There's usually a limit to how many you can get through insurance each year, but 1 shouldn't be an issue.

Cheers lads!

I'll get on that so!

MetzgerMeister

OSI - you say you got your windscreen repaired. I presume that was a "Gavin from Autoglass" job as opposed to getting the windscreen replaced. From what I've heard, this is also covered under the windscreen section and doesn't affect NCB either.
