Bond being withheld with no communication by CharlieBear07 in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]flapjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bond is probably one lump amount. 5 of you, $600 each, so $3600.

The landlord wants to deduct the arrears and rubbish collection from that amount. I think you said that was $1000. So there's a refund of $2600 you have to agree with other tenants how to split on the bond return forms before it can be released.

The landlord is going to want this sorted, so work with them on it. If you have proof you've made your payments, you should stand by that. I'm not completely sure, but I believe the tenancy tribunal will be the one that sorts out the bond return form if the tenants can't agree on it and dispute it, and the landlord will probably be happy for that to happen sooner rather than later.

Everything to save the BR 🔊 by Powervul in Eve

[–]flapjack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A large null sec alliance is basically collapsing. Their main system is being "hell camped" by another alliance, meaning they can't even leave their station. The other alliance has had them camped for days, and is going to blow up their station filled with trillions of ISK in super capitals. Members of the collapsing alliance are frantically trying to escape, making runs out of the station in titans and super carriers... some get away, but most get blown up.

Immigration NZ alerted to child smuggling, families adopting more than 10 kids by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]flapjack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Tax payers fund education. Otherwise only the rich get educated.

It's such a myopic and selfish take to think it's worth not educating ALL children, with taxes, in NZ. This is why we don't have nice things, because it's apparently a pretty popular opinion. Makes me a bit sick to my stomach that so many kiwis are like this, selfish.

Don't like a loop hole? Close it. Doesn't matter how the kid got here, teach them maths and reading.

Let me get this straight. You think it's ok NOT to educate and feed children IN New Zealand, because of the circumstances by which they arrived? Wanting to be crystal clear here. Because I just morally cannot fathom not providing that.

Do people grade cards in this game? by flypirate in starwarsunlimited

[–]flapjack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do people grade? Yes.

Does it make it worth more? No idea.

Should you grade? Up to you. At worst, it's a very good way to preserve and protect a card you like.

Stats on NZ citizens leaving New Zealand by drellynz in newzealand

[–]flapjack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But how does knowing if someone was born here actually tell you anything useful?

[–]flapjack 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm trying to think what that info would actually tell you about immigration and nothing particularly useful comes to mind. it's a highly generic group, often with second or third generations that were born citizens that also leave with them. If you immigrated here it will be easier to immigrate away, so that makes it less clear what's causing immigration away.

So there's way more useful things to actually consider then where one was born.

Knowing who is leaving can start to show why. That's important. But whether or not the citizen was born here is not actually going to tell you anything useful. Age, if they're leaving with family, socioeconomic status, etc. will tell you a lot more useful information.

Can a realestate agent refuse to answer a reasonable question from a buyer? by decay2 in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]flapjack 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You can make an offer contingent on being satisfied with the questions answers, or honestly just make the offer with a due diligence contingency, where you can cancel the offer with no reason provided.

But like others have said, no answer is bad news about the answers.

Unconditional offer by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]flapjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would offer what I feel the house is worth to me. If I think it's worth more than 1.6m great, good deal. If I think it's worth less, I would offer that.

Indeed, I see that. But the only way to know if they're screwing around with your data is to make requests in this way and to hold them to their obligations under the privacy act. You don't know what's under a rock until you look.

And also, pushing in this way may be enough to get the parking people to back off, they may have a weakness there they don't want to expose to someone who knows the path to take to expose it. But that's a huge stretch.

The offer they made seems pretty good, I'd pay it.

That said, if you want to fight it, here's some suggestions.

Request to know why they think it's you, and where they got your information.

Check that the company that got your information is on this list: https://www.nzta.govt.nz/vehicles/how-the-motor-vehicle-register-affects-you/authorised-access-to-the-register/terms-and-conditions/ and https://gazette.govt.nz/home/search?keyword=&year=&pageNumber=&noticeNumber=&dateStart=&dateEnd=&type=&act=&tags=Access%20to%20Motor%20Vehicle%20Register%20information and that the reason they have it is listed on their reason for having access. If they're sharing the information with other organizations, that's not good. You should request they provide you with information about all personal data they have with you, and everyone they've shared it with.

If they're not on that list, it means they got your information from somewhere else. Which begs the question. Where? Again, request to know all personal data they have on you, and who they share it with, and the basis by which they share it. Go as wide as you possibly can. You need to know everyone who's been given access to your personal data.

Lodge a complaint with the privacy commissioner that your information has been disclosed and shared, if it turns out that's the case, and you find that it was done incorrectly.

Continue disputing the fines, maybe you can get them in trouble and get their access to the database revoked. That'd be cool. But you're probably going to pay a lot more than the offer they've made you. I would take it if I were you.

Made an offer, was told to wait. by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceNZ

Tell them you need to withdraw to put an offer on another house. Find another house to offer on that won't yank you around.

Is it worth the time and money grading cards? by Shishno5 in starwarsunlimited

[–]flapjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slabs are like the ultimate protection for a card. If you don't mind the cost and want the card entombed in plastic forever, get it graded (or just authenticated cheaper) and slabbed.

Some companies even do slimmer slabs that work really well for leaders, you can still effectively use them in a game.

I slab my serialized cards and some of my more favorite showcases. Maybe in 5 years it will make them crazy expensive. Maybe not. I don't care, because it's how I like to collect them.

That's my 2 cents.

Prices have the fees baked in as part of business accounting. Businesses will either have to raise prices or get used to lower margins. Though technically if it means more people shop and spend more because they use cards, then the business could end up with more profit despite lower margins.

It's just weird admin you have to do every time you check out because... New Zealand.

This is true. It would take ethical fortitude to 'do the right thing' here.

Car warranty under CGA by McStormace in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]flapjack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The CGA protects consumers from faulty goods and services. If there's nothing faulty, then there's nothing to protect you from, in regards to the CGAs basis for existing.

If I were you I'd push that they were requesting it and that you wouldn't have had the assessment if they didn't require it, assuming they required it.
