    No email for me (tax isn't up until the end of the month, so I'll have to wait and see)

    I tend not to put an email address or phone number on the VLC anyway when buying a car

    Tax was out at end of last month. Got renewal notice with pin in post, followed by a reminder letter 2 weeks later followed by another reminder a week later. Also got 3 emails over the month as well.

    Keeping unnecessary jobs for the sake of it.

    The individual MTOs are the unnecessary jobs - the online operation has very, very few staff.

    I welcome the letters. Damm right they should incur expenses to bill me! Why would I facilitate them to take stupid amounts of money off of me?

    Fvck that sh1t! It's you and me who ultimately pay for those letters. ;)

    I got mine today too. €56! :P

    My mother, for example... had been expecting her letter as usual and when she didn't recieve it she drove to Navan from Enfield (taking time off work) to pay. Surely someone there in the office should have relayed the amendment details to her... it was only when I called her this morning to explain that I recieved an email that she realised that our post is not going missing like she thought.

    Don't mean to be cheeky, but why would she take time off work to drive 40 miles... Surely a quick phone call could have cleared up the confusion...

    Getting with the times is it ?

    If by getting with the times you mean they should have outsourced the entire motor tax collection office to an efficient private company that can also offer Direct Debit Mandate.

    Thats getting with the times.

    Old School.... no changing it. Wanted to pay before due date and doesnt like paying over the phone... still pay bills in post office with cash...

    Might be old school but also wanting to ensure she is never late paying.. which is admirable

    Slow payers are the least of their worries. At least slow payers actually pay, and pay the full amount...

    so you ticked a box without reading what you were ticking, confirming that you would like to be contacted by email, but you expected a letter in the post to confirm that you had said you would only like to be contacted by email?

    Actually from my experience, the box is automatically ticked and you have to un-tick it to get a letter in the post.

    Exactly^. They can bloody well afford to post me out that damn letter out of how much they extort from me every year if they want me to pay :mad:.

    Until theres a discount for paying online and via a letter-less option, then I will continue to see to it that they pay to get the money from me. Its never going to get cheaper again anyway, even if everyone does it online completely so no point in deluding yourself otherwise.

    Is motortax reminder only sent by email now. My friend got one and it said he will not get a paper one. He paid online a few times but not every time. Now he has to pay online

    My reminder is by email also, don't see a problem. Its 2013 why would one not renew online it's easy and less time consuming.

    I ticked the "email me" option when it first came in but have never gotten an email yet. Letter arrived for this month as per usual.

    I'd agree with the DD option - better again if they could charge it monthly rather than one lump sum as it'd make it more manageable sometimes too. They might even get more money out of it.

    But do something for the benefit of the customer/taxpayer rather than the staff? That's not the Irish way! :rolleyes:
