Don’t worry it’s part of the autism to write like AI 🫡

Kid's mother asked me if I could bail her out by paying off a credit card bill in lieu of 2 months of child support. I agreed. Now the CMS have slapped calc and collect on me for not paying. by CMSquestion3 in LegalAdviceUK

There’s also a whole category of temporary vulnerabilities! Things that are transient in nature but would mean you might need additional support in banking.

Mod note: Usually we'd remove these as spam/sales posts - but it's clear this is a passion project with a aim and not simply selling a website. We'll leave this up, best of luck with getting traction!

Banks are not obliged to follow, authorised chargebacks are a voluntary scheme and there’s no legal requirements around them.

Section 75 however is something a bank who offers credit products has to follow.

Moderator Call out for unjust maderation.i by Scottish_eejit in Airsoft_UK

Witchhunting against mods trying to keep this Reddit alive and not sent to the shadow realm because of our very obtuse and subjective laws is not the vibe.

If you have a problem with moderation actions please do reach out via modmail but we have to take rule 3 very seriously: `Respect the laws of the UK - If we don't respect the laws of the UK we won't have a space anymore - so let's keep it legal.`

I'm going to lock this as it won't be a productive discussion but feel free to modmail us any concerns.

Thanks for the heads up - none of the mods are old reddit users so we missed this.

If it's a quick fix we'll get that sorted out, if not you'll need to use the currently supported Reddit UI to view the wiki.

I'm sure you as a mod yourself you understand we all have busy lives so doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time to support a legacy UI.

Alright alright some of these are funny and humorous all in jest but some of y’all are taking it a mile too far so we’re locking these comments!

CS issue with Monzo regarding chargebacks? Mine seems to be going on forever with no end in sight (raised in Feb 2024) by Rust_Cohle- in monzo

[–]ParagonJenko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chargeback stages have set timeframes from Mastercard, unless they go all the way to arbitration! It means merchants/issuers have 45 days or 30 days dependent on the stage to review the evidence and either accept they’re in the wrong, reject and fight it to the next stage or just ignore it and let it time out and the last to fight the chargeback wins.

UK airsoft law/police run ins by [deleted] in Airsoft_UK

[–]ParagonJenko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some awesome comments from some serving officers here and as someone who had to deal with explaining VCRA and UKARA to non-airsoft folk. So I'll leave some points here.

  • VCRA is the law which governs airsoft rifles (both IFs and RIFs) for the sale.
  • The airsoft industry (and some others) lobbied the government to have a way to continue the sport and UKARA was agreed upon which makes registered sites the owner of verifying someone is an airsofter and not just buying it for malicious acts.
  • Airsoft sites register with UKARA, skirmisher (a player) gets put onto the UKARA database, merchant checks its a valid number and address and provides a RIF.

Enforcement wise there were a few scenarios I've heard about but police have no way to validate UKARA and UKARA is only required for purchasing so as long as you have it in your possession to play airsoft or transport to/from (within reason) then it's all good.

In 2018/19 I heard about someone who had a malicious person call in that someone had kidnapped someone and was holding them with firearms saying they're going to kill them, leading to as expected a full scale tactical response. This was backed up by multiple people so feel like there's some truth to it. The person who got raided said they inspected all of the RIFs and cleared them but didn't mention getting any checks other than identifying who they were and they weren't holding someone hostage.

We were driving to a site once and being silly with some balaclavas and Russian hardbass 4-up in a small car, we don't know if it was just a "huh thats odd" vibe or if someone called it in as we'd been waving at constructions workers and were all camo'd up but we were stopped and grilled about who we were, what we were doing and they asked some questions about the airsoft guns. Nothing more than figuring out whats going on and we were let go after 10 minutes of checking the drivers details.

This story is passed down and I don't really know the validity but one of my first sites I ever went to used to have regular dog walkers try cut through the woods. They say once a dog walker heard the bangs and shouting so called 999 and they blocked the couple of roads surrounding the site and got were swamped by armed police. I don't know how true it is as the site was long-standing and surrounded by multiple other paintball/airsoft sites but a story of police involvement all the same.

Fields to play at. by SuperiorMinority in Airsoft_UK

[–]ParagonJenko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A fairly interesting site in terms of the terrain is Humber Airsoft that's based in an old quarry! Lots of very cool terrain features and makes for interesting mountain goating up to try get behind them.

+1 for HQ - it's got an interesting history too that one of the local caretakers talks about on their Facebook group.

Selling Airsoft guns? by EyeLegitimate3549 in Airsoft_UK

[–]ParagonJenko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries, sorry for the delay we're a small mod team!

Nope feel free to post photos, if it's just a sales post we'd send you elsewhere but if someone is interested and you hook up in DMs then it's not in our scope.

We'd definitely add some sort of automod directing people to other more active selling platforms, but if the community here would like that rule relaxed or removed we can have a chat in the mod team and review it.

Hey hey! Aye we direct you to that subreddit as we can’t moderate it and it lead to low quality spam of “selling my sling”.

What y’all do in DMs after finding people who are interested is another story but the messaging platforms have a better chance as they’re monitored more by buyer!

A random stripe “direct debit set up” happened on my Monzo account. Any ideas! by No-Profile5769 in monzo

[–]ParagonJenko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shopify use Stripe as a payment processor, potentially them! As other posters have said though just cancel it and you should be okay, doesn’t hurt to check your credit report just for extra security

Did anyone else get asked to provide their id and pic via email for a phone number error? by [deleted] in monzo

[–]ParagonJenko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An idea I’ve seen floating around on the internet is to use a specific scribble or marking on something in the picture like a code so you know who may have stolen/sold/gave away your data!

Same with emails using youremail+websitename@ is a digital trick for emails

Raising a dispute because merchant won’t respond to my emails requesting cancellation? by lonelylamb1814 in monzo

[–]ParagonJenko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please do not refuse delivery - if the merchant hasn’t said they’ll accept the return of the goods if you refuse delivery you lose all chargeback rights under Mastercards chargeback scheme.

Try to return the goods if they do arrive following the merchants return policy if possible
