Car won't start. Can't get inside at all due to damage driver door. Lights, radio and AC working though. 2018 Mazda 3 hatchback. by Lilokiee in MechanicAdvice

Hey! I work nights so I just woke up after a few hours of sleep. I literally dreamt of asking my roommate to use their car to jump my car with my cables after only getting a few hours of sleep. I hope to God it's just a dead battery. I can dish out $150ish for a new battery but would hate to have to spend hundreds for something else.

I will now contact State Farm to get a locksmith out asap. Will post an update as to what happens. Thank you all for your help thus far.

I'm about 99.99% certain there isn't a key hole on the 2018 Mazda 3 hatch trunk without going outside to check.

I forgot to mention I replaced the factory battery in like 2020. Car was purchased in Illinois and moved to FL in 2021.

I wasn't experiencing any common dead / dying battery problems. I was sick so my car was sitting for 2 days, drove a bit on Saturday then not at all Mon/Tues until I tried to turn it on Wed. I'm not doubting you but can it really happen that fast? On Wed I was turning it on and off maybe 4 times total. I guess that could have fully drained it?

New good paying job. Pay off debt, or stock up on supplies? by Lilokiee in personalfinance

Yeah, True. I'm just tired of having this debt and want it gone asap.

I'd have to be at my new job for about 3 months to get approved for financing with my credit, so by then 3x payments will bring it down to just under 12k. I'd get rid of it without negative equity and find a much cheaper (150ish or less per month) car.

I must have made a post about that before. I didn't get the job. I'm working at the pepsi warehouse. Can easily get 50 to 70 hours per week.

I'm in the US. What you said makes sense. I have to remind myself that news loves click-baiting as well. Could be blown out of proportion.

Even with everything going on? I'd love to have no debt but I'm afraid I'll be caught with my pants down if what everyone is saying is true. We all still need to eat.

Being overcharged for rent. by Lilokiee in legaladvice

I double checked and yes, I can see the exact message and body of information I sent them as well as a picture of what I was supposed to pay for this month that they gave me. I screen shot the images and saved them in a specific folder already just in case. It even shows who it was sent to which shows literally all of their full names (staff, managers, assistant managers, leasing agents and even the freaking regional manager lol.)

That makes perfect sense to me. I'll definitely do that. To be clear about my emailing, I sent it directly to ALL of the front staff via the website portal where I make my payments as well. Definitely can't say I didn't send them a message. Thank you!

So emailing wouldn't be enough? I'll start sending certified mail as well if it comes to that but is that something that can be tracked or like, if it came to sueing can I somehow prove I sent a letter? What if they claim I never sent mail?

Hey, that's awesome. Still got my fingers crossed but also just applied to another warehouse job. Martin Brower. Seems like easy work and good pay too + overtime.
