My insurer tried to get money from Blacktown City Council (NSW) without success.All we got back was a standard letter stating drivers must be wary, Council has limited funds, etc etc.However, If I had the same ahain, I go with the letter from a Solictor. As previously, a member has had success this way.Here is my pothole which destroyed 2 wheels and tyres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Council claims officers are high paid insurance company proffesionals anyway.. I once forced through a damaged rim on a curb claim because I found out the Garth R. I was talking to at the council was the same Garth R. that handled my last insurance claim with AAMI.... He was still with AAMI and moonlighting for the council...Work that one out.....Also, A guy called Bert (European Accent) is the same guy you will talk to when you ring the MTA and also when you ring the Dept of Fair Trading.One is sponsored by the government to protect consumers and one is sponsored by the Motor dealers to protect themselves.... Bert seems to have his hand in both Pies.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
