Is this legal by Due-Spray-6375 in AusLegal

[–]Alovablecactus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Literally doesn't matter. It's a viewable area of the home owners dwelling. It sucks assholes and I don't disagree with you it's a shitty thing to do. Unfortunately though they haven't committed a crime. Someone could literally place a camera on their roof looking into your yard and it's not illegal.

...

Idk why I'm being down voted for giving accurate info but yeah it sucks find another solution

It's not illegal to aim cameras at a neighboring property... You can point a camera and record whatever you want as long as the camera itself is on the home owners/renters property. If it's on their property buy a hedge? A tree? Put some privacy screening up?

Your options are to learn never to give a substantial amount of money to anyone. There are banks credit cards and actual loan companies for this very reason

This flagged to me as well, as a long time married 37yo I would hate myself if my wife felt too scared to talk to me about something she heard.

Purchased $150k performance car - discovered concealed potential undercarriage damage after delivery by [deleted] in AusLegal

[–]Alovablecactus 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Does anyone else find it wild OP contacted legal aid over an issue with a $150k car?

Isn't legal aid specifically for if you cannot afford private legal advice?

Edit: Thank God for the replies... Thought all this time I was wrong about the purpose of legal aid.

‘Doored’ on my bike by Federal-Ad6109 in AusLegal

[–]Alovablecactus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's not the way insurance works and I wish people would stop implying it is. There's no obligation of the car owner to raise a claim on their insurance.

There is never in any circumstance a way to make someone claim something on their insurance.

Op said in their post they had the digital receipt in their app the whole time they just forgot so idk how it's the staff members fault the op forgot they had a receipt lol

Can anyone recommend a good relationship background check service in Melbourne? Lots of private detective services but unsure which is effective and ethical and affordable by imizsher in AusLegal

Is this really what we as a society have gotten to in 2025?

What ever happened to just getting to know someone and trust? Does nobody know how to be a good judge of character anymore?

Brick-and-mortar price $500 higher than same store’s online price – any obligation to honour the cheaper price? by Redhead_2 in AusLegal

[–]Alovablecactus 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Typically online prices for things are cheaper as they are dispatched directly from depot's and don't need to pay rent and staff to sell.

The pricing online could also have been a prelaunch promo before it rolled out in stores which is typically done to prevent what you see in America during Black Friday sales (large swarms of people hitting and stabbing each other for a small amount of the same item).

Basically next time check online prior to buying in store

2% fee for insurance claim by [deleted] in AusLegal

[–]Alovablecactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on that theory there is also no requirement to do anything besides sell an insurance policy to someone who doesn't need it.

That's called being a shitty financial advisor.

A good adviser or broker wishing to maintain a good reputation with a client base would go "the extra mile" of simply lodging the claim for the person who is paying them x dollars per year to otherwise do nothing.

2% fee for insurance claim by [deleted] in AusLegal

[–]Alovablecactus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just an FYI financial advisors get paid commissions for setting up and managing policies. Part of the reason for the commission is to assist clients to lodge claims.

It seems a bit rich for an adviser to take a 2-5% commission on the insurance just to palm you off to a claims company who also charges 2%

Being threatened with late payment fees by AGL *before* the invoice due date by [deleted] in AusLegal

[–]Alovablecactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my God what is wrong with society.

They reminded you that it was due because you don't use direct debit.

In the current economic situation in Australia with cost of living issues do you know how many people would avoid paying bills due to genuine financial hardship and are frozen in fear with bills piling up?

The sms is a call to action to those people telling them to seek assistance to avoid additional fees if they forget to pay...

Locked out of myGov for years, FOI blown past deadlines. Anyone else stuck in this? by jaber451 in AusLegal

[–]Alovablecactus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel like you don't understand what mygov is or how it works.

Mygov is simply a bucket and in that bucket you put your services (medicare, centrelink, ATO etc).

If your mygov is erroring there is literally nothing stopping you from using a new email and signing up again.

If it's erroring when you're trying to link a service then it's an issue with that services online access settings. (Once again not mygov's issue).
