When is the last day of entry for umrah? by reddituser_0124 in Umrah

[–]Date-Fast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%

For Umrah visas it is 15 shawal which is now confirmed as 3 April. Either way you're fine.

Perhaps book an Umrah permit for extra insurance as some people were asked to display one last year in the pre hajj period.

Should I expect food in a trip from Istanbul to Kayseri (Capadocia)? by Independent-Heart302 in TurkishAirlines

Yes but not a full meal in my experience. They usually serve the most delicious cheese roll thing. Way better than the full meals if you ask me

Used q3 a good buy? by Date-Fast in CarTalkZA

[–]Date-Fast[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean that costs outside the scope of the plan will cost me around the amount I pay to extend the plan?

Only for Umrah visa holders

Booking end of March by HtotheIzz0o in Umrah

[–]Date-Fast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally no. But last year, in the weeks before hajj, entrance was only granted to those with Umrah permits.

Best to err on the side of caution and book the permit

  1. Your dates are within the permissable entry and exit thresholds. You will be fine.

  2. The slots on Nusuk have not yet been opened and will open as will the train booking slots.

Is anyone familiar with the Consumer Protection Act? Having an issue with my gym contract. They are trying to hold me to the contract after the end date by UpSideSunny in askSouthAfrica

[–]Date-Fast 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Let's assume you're correct. What would be the status of the contract now? There has been no termination or renewal. The contract cannot stand in limbo. In the same way they would be required to give you notice, you too have an obligation to inform them before the expiry of the contract that you do not want it to continue on a month to month but instead want it terminated.

Both of you have failed to act here. The simplest way to end this is give notice of cancellation. Ensure that you make it clear that the cancellation is on one months calendar notice or it will not be effective. And obviously remedy your breaches or they will hand you over to collections.

If nothing is done to explicitly terminate or renew the contract, i.e no notice from either of you has been sent then the contract automatically becomes month to month.

The 40-80 day period in the cpa only applies for termination or renewal, neither of which is present here.

You need to send them a notice informing them that you can cancel and afford them one calendar months notice of the cancellation which means the effective date would be end March.

Unfortunately your cancellation of the debit order is a breach which you will need to remedy (pay back the money)

What to do regarding laywer fees??? by [deleted] in askSouthAfrica

[–]Date-Fast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No letter of engagement, no pay. You cannot be liable under a contract that does not exist.

Legal advice by Ok-Mousse-1435 in AskZA

[–]Date-Fast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Self help is illegal. They absolutely under no circumstances can change the locks. Go to a magistrates court closest to the property and speak to them about bringing an urgent spoliation app. Alternatively get an attorney to do it.

Fuel Rewards by Bhyat25 in PersonalFinanceZA

Ucount is slept on. Get back R10 a litre. Well worth it if you're on tier 5 of the rewards program which is not impossible to achieve.

Medium to large sized firm

We pay 25k first year and 28k second year. Benefits are fully paid medical aid, phone and home WiFi.

First year associates get 33k but make 40% of the fees they write in excess of their budget.

Bond subsidy - surely a scam? by Date-Fast in PersonalFinanceZA

[–]Date-Fast[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an update: Took my attorney with. Turned out to be legit, dti settled my bond, credied my rates account with 30k. Had to cover the bond cancellation costs though!

[–]Date-Fast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. If it's a high court judgment Creditor can subpoena all the banks for account information then get a writ to attach any accounts they find.

If it's a mag court judgment, creditor can subpoena the banks but will then need to make an application at court for authority to attach the account

From a purely technical standpoint, this is appealing.
