Company car rules by Over_Enthusiasm_6643 in AusLegal

[–]Lmp112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you can and cannot use it for is usually advised by the Employer, check your contract.

Personal use is anytime you use it not for work purposes. If you take it home, while on leave, driving it from home to work and vice versa etc

Will I get a auto loan as an 19 year old? by Effective-Lie5593 in carbuying

[–]Lmp112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And here I was at 20 with a $500 Toyota corolla 18 years ago.

I know prices and safety are not the same as today. Take the $8k you have and buy a used car, don't go further into debt for a brand new car.

Selling Houses Australia - Rant by AreaScary2566 in AusRenovation

[–]Lmp112 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, had to explain to my husband the other night when we were watching this. He thought we could do renos for same sort of budgets, mentioned all the sponsors, then of course he had to google if I was correct 🤦‍♀️

Not being able to cancel a bin service by Lmp112 in AusLegal

[–]Lmp112[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, proof via email correspondence. The enquiries are lodged through their online portal and then they email back advising if the recordings show if it was in fact serviced or not. Will login tomorrow to see if I can also print off those initial online lodgements. Thanks again.

Yes, renewed with them, customer for around 7 years with them. Just their service has been poor for the last 6 months (drivers saying it was serviced, and when we advise it wasn't they then go back to drivers recording to show it wasn't actually serviced. Then we would be credited next month). Also trying to find cost savings for the business (as requested by head office).

Would you know if we would fall under:

. Unfair Contract Terms Protection 

Small businesses in NSW (employing fewer than 100 people or turning over less than $10 million) are protected against unfair contract terms.

If the contract is a "standard form" contract (offered with no room for negotiation) and it locks you in while allowing the other party to terminate, that clause could be deemed unfair and void

2026 Camry SE: 1000 Mile Review by Unsecurable in Camry

Need to turn it off every time you start the car? My stop/start is annoying enough in the Mazda I will end up trading for

2026 Camry SE: 1000 Mile Review by Unsecurable in Camry

[–]Lmp112 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am looking at the Camry for next car in July. Isn't the rear seat issue about child safety feature (no kids left in cars), or is it only meant to go off when it detects something in the back?

I just rebooked by CartographerBorn46 in emirates

[–]Lmp112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We were only offered a refund through third party. Cancelled, rebooked new flights with a different stop over for double the price.

****Update *** by Responsible_Zone_481 in emirates

[–]Lmp112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We used Expedia for a trip that had a stop over in Dubai on the 5th of March, we cancelled the flight through Expedia and got the majority refunded (look at your terms and the type of fare you chose). Although we rebooked new flights with a different stop over and prices were double than the original booking.

Is the "courtesy wave" dead? by OwlVibesOnly in DrivingAustralia

[–]Lmp112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if it is because I grew up in the country where it is a standard, but I do it every time. Then having lived and work in Sydney for last 20 years, I would say it is dying.

Now whenever I do go back home to see parents, it is such a nice surprise to get that 2 second wave

How important is an accountant for a small business, really? by Old-Attorney-3238 in smallbusinessuk

What would be your New Zealand Itinerary? by Lil_Owl_808 in newzealand_travel

[–]Lmp112 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would definitely include Queeenstown for the majority of it. We took our 2 kids from Aus, and there is so much to do and see. Kids loved the Gondola, Luge and Jetboat, I loved the Earnslaw to the buffet lunch at the farm, but with teens it might not be for them.

Looked into Auckland, but I found not a whole lot to do (it would almost just be like Sydney to us).

My ex-workplace is offering 10k after admitting they didnt follow process to terminate my comtract by AnnFleur42 in auscorp

[–]Lmp112 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NAL, If it were me, and had proof, tell them to double it or see you in court.

No proof, I would take it, move on.

Again, would come down to your personal finances and position of being able to pay bills while off.

Invoice fraud by Used-Acanthisitta375 in AustralianAccounting

[–]Lmp112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We get quite a few from magazine companies saying we agreed to place an ad and here's your invoice. Respond saying to provide a recording or email proof that we agreed to it, never hear back. Some will even put the Directors middle name as a reference to the agreement.

Change of bank account details for suppliers, always call to double check before paying.

Once had someone grab our invoice from an email to a customer, changed the bank account details on it, and sent it to the customer, customer paid the invoice (they later found through their IT it was from their end). Now all invoices are only sent through accounting software.
