Repaying icbc claims
 
So I have to repay 2 icbc claims to get my surcharge back to nearly 0%.

I'm wondering, do icbc charge interest on these claims? Would it matter if i pay now or later?

you pay them before you renew your insurance. i don't think there are interests or anything. you just pay ICBC back the exact amount of money they paid out when you fixed your car and your insurance shouldn't be affected.

you have one year to repay/buyback claims. but why are u even driving when u have to buy 2 claims back just to get your discount back to 0%?

My surcharge is at 400%. Trying to buy an 06 acura TL which at 400% my insurance will be $10,000. If i pay back these claims, which is a total of $3000, the insurance for the TL will be around 2900 - 3200.

I admit I was when I was about 18 years old.

But these past claims that I got was totally BS.

Reversing out of a parking stall at brentwood mall (the one right by bmo where it's a T intersection). This old dude, approaches into the intersection as I was already half way out, totally ignoring the stop sign. I can see him looking to his left talking to this dude while still driving forward, and rear ends me. My car was fine, but he had a broken headlight.

ICBC concludes that that was my fault because I was reversing, but I was at a complete stop. Asked me if I had witness, I said no, and that was it. $1500 claim.

Another one was when I reversing in a gas pump station, this navigator or whatever these big ass truck is called was already hogging up 2/3 of the space. As I was reversing into the spot, he drives up and rear ends me. No damage whatsoever. ICBC concludes that that was also my fault, because I was reversing.

When I got into my spot to get gas that is when he bumped me from behind. All of this happened over the course of 2 months, bad bad luck.

Moral of my story, don't ever tell ICBC that you are in reverse while an accident happened. Whether you're at a complete stop or not, it's your fault. Honesty gets you nowhere.

ICBC doesnt charge interest you just pay the whole amount back when you renew your insurance.
But OMG 10,000 for insurance my god that sucks

My friend got into an accident with his Z. His insurance would have been 14k a year if he hadn't switched it to one of his parents names

Why bother, he'll get owned when he crashes again and his insurance is void.
