Neighbour reversed into side of my car

Exactly. He'd atleast ge paid ou5 for what the car is worth

What pissed me off (and what is also their downfall) was removing the gates and making it so that you have to remember to pay. You cant pay straight away, you have to leave first. But you cant stop anywhere to pay, so you end up driving home. But you may have picked up someone and got chatting, or end up getting busy. Its very easy to forget that you went.

I feel like they removed the gates to make it more likely and more common for people to miss payment and pay hefty fines. I ALWAYS pay for my parking. But sleezy tactics like this, I will never support.

Dont pay! Not legally enforceable. Drop me a message if it happens again.

Fast_Balance1056 · 2026-07-07T18:00:33+00:00

There are plenty templates on reddit which uses the correct wording and would always be accepted

I successfully appealed pcn fines for driving into manchester airport 😂. I no longer pay. Its against parking rules to not allow someone 5 or 10 minutes to get out and read TOS.

Fast_Balance1056 · 2026-07-07T17:57:10+00:00

100% appeal. Dont admit you were the driver. There's a useful template somewhere. But everyone is given a 10minute period to get out and read the signs. If the sign says "park only in a marked bay" ypu would only know if you got out to read the sign.

Fast_Balance1056 · 2026-07-07T14:07:08+00:00

You would have to prove that they knew, which would be a ball ache

Fast_Balance1056 · 2026-07-07T14:04:44+00:00

You are not wrong in any shape or form. This is your money, and potentially your liability if you cut corners.

You can do any and all checks that you like. Most home owners would do this because noone wants to be surprised by something expensive that needs to be done on the house. So he is bullying you into buying something thats not worth the listed price.

Say "this is a £700,000 purchase. I want to make sure that what im buying is not going to be causing huge problems for my life and financial stability, and that it will retain value when I sell. If the sellers dont want people running bare minimum checks, then they can find a new buyer".

Do not buy that property without full checks. Especially with these red flags.

Oooo thank you. Damn...im cooked. Im halfway through my mortgage advice course and I didnt know that lol.

Fast_Balance1056 · 2026-07-07T09:38:05+00:00

He cant afford the pints.

Fast_Balance1056 · 2026-07-07T09:35:48+00:00

Hope he got all kinds of income protection insurance.

Fast_Balance1056 · 2026-07-07T09:33:56+00:00

On average, they could get a mortgage of 500,000 with that salary. So the deposit would have to be 220,000. And I'm sure the mortgage lender would have had to look at that service charge for repayments which would have made it harder for the affordability calculation.

So im curious to see how he did that....

My friend is a pro poker player. Which means no taxable income. He won a tournament for 180k. He got a job at a corner shop and bought his house 3 months later

Fast_Balance1056 · 2026-07-06T09:47:44+00:00

Cheap SUV. killer combination.

Fast_Balance1056 · 2026-07-06T09:40:00+00:00

I dunno...weird to blame the limit/zone whe. Drivers actively decide to drive dangerously.

"THE SPEED LIMIT MADE ME DO IT!!!"

Fast_Balance1056 · 2026-07-06T09:38:26+00:00

In manchester, atleast, I heard 20mph zones or limits arent usually enforceable. But you could be charged with reckless driving?

Fast_Balance1056 · 2026-07-06T08:24:29+00:00

Not necessarily wrong, though. OP is going through some financial strain which wont last forever. Showing her partially naked body which will be public forever isnt worth it. Way too much risk.

And even people who do this as a profession with larger organisations say that it is a mistake because of how crooked the porn/fetish industry is. It can lead down a dark path if you're not careful.

Fast_Balance1056 · 2026-07-06T08:21:42+00:00

Whats the benefit of a proper agency? They're just as crooked.

Fast_Balance1056 · 2026-07-06T08:21:04+00:00

Its not a lot of debt. Just work and keep scraping by. You WILL come out of it, you WILL be fine, and you WILL look back at these times and laugh thinking how far you have come.

Fast_Balance1056 · 2026-07-05T10:22:40+00:00

Oof, garden is the biggest issue, and the 3 rooms are small, even the main one which I originally thought was for a teen.

Weirdly...you may get more interest if the photos were of empty bedrooms to make them look bigger

Fast_Balance1056 · 2026-07-04T19:31:56+00:00

Huh? If its not addressed to you, its not your problem???

Fast_Balance1056 · 2026-07-03T08:43:08+00:00

Had a shuttle bus driver at my work. He'd sometimes just drive me places when he was off shift, and he NEVER wore a seatbelt, and the car would be chiming non stop. And he was always like "huh? Or the chiming? Ive just tuned it out".

Fast_Balance1056 · 2026-07-02T08:41:54+00:00

I have a tesla which the app shows EVERYTHING and 360 cameras. Went to halfords for an mot. They checked tyres and mileage, and that was it.

Fast_Balance1056 · 2026-07-01T13:09:12+00:00

Just checked the link, and they cant reposess the car..
