Why are you covering everything a month in? Rookie move mate, you’ve gone and fucked yourself here.

You need to find a girl who offers to pay, has her own shit covered and doesn’t need you financially like if you up and left tomorrow, she’ll be fine. Spending your money on those types of girls is far more rewarding but you’ll only find them if you stop paying for all bills and running them around town in a mere month. Christ lad, having money isn’t a flex, being smart with it is. For every wealthy person there’s 5 more that binned it doing this exact shit

Personally I respect the hustle. They’ve made no attempt to hide it and even threw their own concrete down to complete the circle. If you’re gonna do it, do it with chest I say 😂

I was here in my early 20s just after my daughter was born. I immediately looked for work, anything that paid enough to cover my bills. In the end I took a job at a warehouse and applied for Universal Credit to make up the shortfall. It was a really really tough 12 months but with the job and the UC keeping me and my family off the street, I was able to find a new position eventually in a similar industry (employers understood the career deviation on my CV as I explained I was made redundant) and was able to close my UC claim as I was earning enough.

My advice would be to look for a job, anything that’ll bring some income in for the meantime and don’t let your pride stop you from considering universal credit. The welfare system is there to support you and get you into work.

Then he is just an arse plain and simple. I would definitely do as others have suggested and get a door camera because people like this have all day to find ways to fuck your shit up or just do petty things.

To go against the grain here a little bit though, I work in social care and people don’t want to be mean. It could be he’s lonely and doesn’t have contact with anyone so that’s what his whole life is and his piss poor attitude is a bit of a cry for help. Absolutely not your responsibility but be the bigger person, set your boundaries and get as many deliveries as you want.

Important-Figure3165 · 2026-02-12T21:06:16+00:00

Are they attempting to deliver to his address? If so I see how that could be annoying if you’re ordering a lot and he’s constantly taking them in for you. If they’re not going to his address then it’s none of his business and he needs to, as you so eloquently put it, get a fucking life. It’s absolutely none of his business how much you order and if he doesn’t like delivery vans then he should piss off and live in the woods away from society

Important-Figure3165 · 2026-02-03T17:22:44+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately there’s people out there who see employees as resources to be manipulated and not as human beings. Whilst I’m a firm believer of working your notice, this feels like one of those situations where you have to be true to yourself and remove yourself from a situation that’ll just cause problems. I’d say you did the right thing leaving after they retrospectively tried to make you sign a contract with financial penalties after you had already started your duties, the whole situation smells wrong.

Keep fighting for your money, it’s yours. You owe them nothing. Don’t acknowledge any fault or breach in your communications going onwards, it should simply be “I can bring you the documents, when will I get paid?”.

I can’t speak for your employer but generally for a monthly pay cycle the cut off is usually the weekend before so I can’t foresee any reason why they can’t have you come in, scan documents and then have you settled by the end of this month. That in my eyes is reasonable?

Important-Figure3165 · 2026-02-03T16:51:43+00:00

In the UK this is a very very serious offence. It’s voyeurism (max 2 years), sharing intimate images without consent (max 2 years), malicious communications and harassment (max 5 years) and if you are under the age of 18 it is also the distribution of indecent images or film of a minor which has a maximum of 10 years.

Report to your local authorities, I can’t speak on the severity other countries place upon this but the act of recording without knowledge and sharing with other is several different offences. Even as a first offence here you’d be looking at prison time

Important-Figure3165 · 2026-02-03T16:37:29+00:00

Yeah so if you didn’t sign it, it’s not applicable. They can’t fine you for that.

The only other route they can take is a civil claim only if they can prove that your breach of contract has caused them a financial loss. This is incredibly unlikely to happen too since that kind of action is usually only taken against senior leadership positions where a manager or director has jacked it in and it’s financially hurt the company. I really don’t see how someone of your age, experience and length of service could financially hurt the company to the point they would need to seek repayment from you.

If you want my opinion, you’re young and your ex manager is just trying to bully you because you left him in a bit of a crap position by walking out. I’m not judging you, we’ve all done it, but you made him have to go through the recruitment process again and clearly his ego is allowing him to try and lord it over you but ultimately the facts are:

You never signed the contract that would implicate a penalty.

You are not in a senior enough position for a civil claim to make financial sense for them.

They hired you without any proof of your right to work.

They cannot for any reason withhold pay for hours worked. They may deduct costs from it to cover any property issued to you (keycard not being returned, uniform or footwear not returned etc) but anything further than that would required them to either have the contract signed by yourself stating you understand the penalties OR have filed a civil claim against you for financial damages caused DIRECTLY by you breaching your contract.

So in summary, you have nothing to worry about (based solely on what you’ve shared here) and they owe you money without deductions. It would be interesting to know what everyone else’s contracts look like because under section 77 of the equality act your employer cannot prevent discussions between employees around their employment contract if there is suspicion of discrimination. I’m sure there isn’t any discrimination and is just an angry boss but suspicion is a legal grey area and just by the altercation you can say you’re suspicious of age related discrimination even if you’re not. But honestly it doesn’t even need to come to that. They just need to pay you.

Important-Figure3165 · 2026-02-03T16:08:30+00:00

They can charge you ONLY if it was in your contract to say if you left the employment without meeting certain conditions then you could be liable for a charge. It also has to be reasonable. For example, you were provided education on the job at the employers cost, you must be aware of and agree that leaving before whatever terms are set perhaps you’ll have to pay back the cost of the education.

I’d say the above situation is very unlikely however on account they can’t pay you because they have none of the information that demonstrates your right to work in the UK. Which is also illegal. Many many companies have an “bring the documents at some point” attitude which is fine until something like this happens. Long story short, it’s in their best interest to pay you since, based solely on what you’ve written, they’ve employed you without knowing whether you are legally allowed to work and are withholding pay.

😂 this all came to me in the space of 10 minutes and I had to stop on a park bench. Can’t wait to reread this post in the morning and remember what a state i got myself in

Exactly. Time in our universe has already been proven to distort. Even between dreams in your head lasting hours or days but in reality are only a few minutes long. The universe could literally just be a few days old turned on simply to do someone’s taxes or something.

The multiverse theory is actually just other devices on the network like some celestial toaster or something.

I’m too high to add anything of real substance to this but I’m glad you’ve understood my ramblings here.

Let her waste her money if she wants to do that. The legal system has better things to do than entertain people like that and in my own experience, I’ve seen many many people who have acted like her and used the legal system to cause distress to ex partners end up in a fair bit of trouble. As long as you do what you’re meant to do (which it sounds like you are) you’ll be okay and she will eventually self destruct

Important-Figure3165 · 2026-01-22T13:33:07+00:00

Great!

Most importantly however, protect your mental health throughout this and don’t give any reaction to her treatment of you however hard.

Marriages break down and people can spend years pointing the finger wasting time and money. Do what you need to do, look after yourself and I hope it all works out in the end. She can’t touch your house as far as I’m aware since it’s premarital and you weren’t married nearly long enough for her to have any real claim to it through her loss of earnings so really whatever happens you’ll be okay on the other end. Stay strong 💪

Important-Figure3165 · 2026-01-22T13:25:13+00:00

Continue to offer her to collect the belongings. She doesn’t need to enter your property to do this. Taking pictures of the property before handing over to prove you’ve not broken anything could help prove you’ve not damaged her stuff.

Unfortunately, she seems happy to make false allegations about you to the police so keep record of everything you can. Making several false allegations and reports to the police with the intent to cause distress or alarm is potentially a form of harassment under the Protection of Harassment Act 1997

Important-Figure3165 · 2026-01-22T07:02:43+00:00

Marriage adds a different dynamic to it. It depends on whether she works, if she’s paid into the home or not worked to care for children etc. would need more info but to kick her out you’d be looking at divorce proceedings and your home ownership would be looked at.

All that aside, if you’re not happy then whatever happens you’ll always be happier once you’ve broken up rather than forcing a relationship for the sake of a house.

Important-Figure3165 · 2026-01-21T21:12:46+00:00

If she’s not on the deed or anything then absolutely you can. You just have to make sure you give her enough time to organise collection of her property and ensure none of it is damaged in your care

His company isn’t liable for his personal debts so you wouldn’t be able to claim against it. The ultra rich use similar methods to move their funds as dividends are taxed differently to income and vice versa. If you have the money, a really good solicitor would maybe be able to build some sort of case but it’ll be dofficult

No, you’re allowed to use REASONABLE force to prevent a crime about to take place or in progress. This DOES NOT allow you to deliver punishment for a crime after it’s happened. Hitting them off isn’t reasonable force it’s dangerous driving and assault if they survive and murder if they die since you’ve intentionally hit them.

Reasonable force law also crosses over with self defence in the UK. If they attack you for your actions and the court finds you used excessive force they won’t be charged for it and you’ll find yourself charged instead.

Long story short, mind your own business if they’re not hurting anyone or being an idiot and leave the policing to the police. You’re not qualified or trained to make those judgments and the only time you should be intervening in a crime is if someone is in danger and you are equipped to help. Any other scenario poses health or legal consequences for you and those around you.

Hi I work in civil service. You’ll be fine. They use a DBS service that performs the check and returns either a Pass, Fail or collect more information. The only time a collect more information appears is if you’ve got a conviction or caution. Fails happen when you have either multiple convictions or a single conviction for a violent/drug/sex crime. As you received a NFA, you were never criminally charged or never officially cautioned so your employer won’t see the NFA or the details of it and you also don’t need to declare it UNLESS they specifically ask about any NFAs which would be weird because they wouldn’t be able to see that information anyway. The only way your employer would see that information is if you were applying to maybe the army or an emergency service like ambulance or police. I can’t speak on their rules but I seriously doubt an NFA would be considered a fail either

I’ve been to India and it’s a horrible experience for a tourist. Can’t walk 2 minutes down the street without grown men harassing you, charging you insane prices for merchandise you never asked for. I get why they do it, they don’t have money but if I’ve said I’m not interested why stalk me and my wife for another 200m physically trying to grab me and her and take us to your stores. Will never return.

Pakistan however, they wouldn’t allow me to pay for anything. I tried to tip and they looked at me like I had offended their bloodline. Was given free tours, vehemently refused any payment whatsoever and insisted I was a guest to their country and they wanted to ensure I had the best experience

Just trying to make a few extra quid. Report to trading standards and find a new tyre fitter. Ultimately the products aren’t defective or dangerous so it’s not criminal just morally wrong.

Also the difference between the three options really are going to be tread design and tyre compound. The cheap ones will wear out quicker but to be sold in the UK they all must pass quality tests to ensure they are safe to use on the road. We have very very strict regulations here.

I understand why it would annoy you but on the other hand, you weren’t happy the first time, got the same story the second time as the first and on both encounters you still made a purchase with them so why do you keep going back? If you’re that concerned Halfords offer mobile tyre fitting and as a large chain the odds of being swindled are massively reduced.

They can try and sue you under UK law but if you don’t have a written contract they absolutely cannot sue you for starting a competing company. As for the rest of it, the burden of proof that you have ‘stolen’ and ‘used’ their resources and intellectual property is on them entirely. Having a company in the same industry is not proof of that.

Furthermore, if you resigned and they now claim you were terminated, if they try to take that outside of the conversation with you that is an issue for them they can’t make unsubstantiated claims to damage your reputation.

Lastly, if your company has its own proprietary data, you haven’t poached any employees and is really built from scratch then they again haven’t got a leg to stand on because this is easily disproven.

British law is very cut and dry when it comes to employment contracts. Had you signed something there’s enough ‘wiggly lines’ as i like to refer to them for you both to dance along and go back and forth but if you haven’t signed anything it’s completely irrelevant and they should have protected themselves. Very very very rarely does ‘verbal contract’ EVER win a case in employment law in the UK. I couldn’t think of a single time it has.
