_Shane_ Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Lads just a quick question on where do i stand with this incident I had today leaving work. As i was leaving work a transit van was coming in (postman,to collect the post) he stops and flashes me to let me out, gap was way too narrow so i didnt even move, i laughed to myself and said does he expect me to fit through that anyway him in his transit with his great calculations in his head decided that the soup cant fit through but my transit can as im at a full stop waiting on him to either reverse and let me move out he decides that he will shoot past me, as he does all you here is a big scraping noise blood boiled and fists clinched (automatically) few lads that were outside the building having a smoke even heard this, he was on the back of my car, just over the driver side rear wheel, then he reverses back to me , all you here is sraping noise again. He then has the cheek to say, everything alrite mate, i said to him you just hit my F$%king car, Did I ??? he replies as i jump out of the soup. Scrape and scuff marks over the back wheels on the arch. paint missing along the edge, its just gone black there so after some words i take his details and he says to ring it in to his job and register it. I took his name and his reg of the post van (as they are in and out of our place on a daily basis) Now im snapping here over this, i mean i went to work today with my car in perfect nick and now have scuff marks and scratches above the back wheel. He said to ring it in and his crowd would organise for an assessor for be sent out. Its just a small section where the damage is but the car is flip painted and he was at fault,. he said look you seem grand, the car is your pride and joy, im not going to get into an argument with you, if you say i hit you then i did. 5 people inc myself seen/saw/heard him hitting me. where do i stand with regards to getting these lovely scuffs and scratches out of my car ? Will a machine polish do the job or would we be looking at getting a panel done , possible respray. Im not trying to do the dog here with this postman fella but at the end of the day he did the damage, i said to him even the spray job cost 4500 euros etc but at the end of the day i want the damage you caused removed from my car, whether its a machine polish or a respray, you damaged it so you fix it. Sorry about the long rant but im fairly pi$$ed off here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
