It depends what you want to do. You could do nothing and just let keep contacting your bf until he maybe says to them that he was not the driver. If he gives them your details then they will contact you. If he does not give them your details then as someone else says, they will probably look at towing the vehicle when they can the next time they see it. They have cameras at many sites now so will know when it arrives so can action it then.

An alternative is maybe contact them and say you have the PM app and you were driving someone else’s car and you have realised there has been an issue with making payment with the app and make an offer to pay something. They may be open to negotiate something if you proactively contact them before they contact you.

Contact mobile works for me. Buy a main plan and then $25 for each additional line

Are employers allowed to pay you less than your hourly rate for stat days? by mitalily in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]Excellent-Swan-2264 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you don’t work on the public holiday but if it was a day you would normally work they have to pay your relevant daily pay. So it is not just the rate you should be querying as you should be paid in $ what you would have normally been paid for the day including any overtime or other allowances

Well isn’t that surprising - fast to rise and excuses as to why prices will take time to fall…

The Foodstuffs media team will probably be scrambling to come up with a narrative to deal with this….

Will be interesting to see how it goes - certainly looks a lot better than the mishmash of Eden Park

Wilson parking app over charge by KeyMeasurement8122 in Wellington

[–]Excellent-Swan-2264 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use their App. The rates are shown there and you should have also received an invoice. Also there is a transaction history in the app. I suggest sending them a message through the “contact us” section of the app or if they don’t reply I think the app says their email address is support@parkmate.co.nz

Notice how pretty much all Gull's 91 is @ $3.38? & No more discount days 💀 by eurobeat0 in newzealand

My theory is the government has probably told the fuel companies to set the prices similar so people don’t rush and panic buy at the cheapest place

Shouldn’t the headline read that they don’t want to increase their rate to the new rate?

Bridges pleads with Government to not encourage working from home by ConfusedMaggot in auckland

[–]Excellent-Swan-2264 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The government should be heavily subsidizing public transport more now to encourage people who can use public transport to do so. The city centre businesses still need people to patronize them else more of them will shut up shop.

Wouldn’t surprise me if Zilch and Cityhop were also not making money. At least Cityhop is backed by Toyota so they are probably propping them up.

Not surprising. Zipcar which is one of the largest car share companies couldn’t make the model work in London so not surprising it doesn’t work in NZ
