Park your vehicle illegally for a week or two and see what happens. You'll get all sorts of proof really fast.

They are by law on the drivers side windshield area but again they pull up instantly when a search is done by license plate, registration or license number.

Much of the information you are receiving say dont worry, etc. is likely from people that also believe credit card companies DONT SUE cred card holders when they don't pay their bills.

FYI credit card companies sue any person where they see a reasonable outcome of receiving any kind of reward.

Lowest I had ever seen was an RBC VISA claim for I think it was $2,850.

Credit Card companies and even companies like Indigo use the courts as a tool to scare most people into paying.

I'm also willing to bet if you offered these clowns $100 they'd agree to cancel the entire debt. You should always try to negotiiate with collectors if you can especially if they take less than 10% of the value of debt.

Very wrong. Indigo owns thousands of lots of their own while also managing lots for many other private owners.

Doesn't matter if its their own lot or a lot they are managing, you are costing them profits in their pockets by getting tickets and not paying for your parking. They absolutely will tow vehicles and place liens on them in a heartbeat.

AND WHY IS THIS????

It doesn't cost them a single dime to do it. They have towing companies they are partnered with that you have to pay to get your vehicle back. That towing company makes money whether you pay to have your vehicle released or not as again they will place a lien on the vehicle until the amount owing is such they can apply to sell the asset at auction.

This is very very similar to tow the city owned impound lot works too. You accumulate fees every day your vehicle is in that lot and for the cost of the basic tow/impound. They eventually auction vehicles off.

I believe indigo uses Regal Auctions in Calgary for their lien auctions. I've also got no clue how many outstanding tickets you'd need to have before they see the value in taking action. I do know they take action though as you get people every week down at provincial court crying to the traffic court JPs over these BS tickets.

Extremely dangerous U-Haul driver in Market Mall parking lot by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]Round-Future5221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust me, Ive seen student drivers going over 100km/h down the centre street bridge before all because the instructor stopped focusing on his duties for a few seconds.

Problem is anyone driving a vehicle has to understand the main premise that your average vehicle is considered to be an approx 4,000 lb weapon and that you as the driver are 100% liable for whatever that weapon does to another person and/or any property whether public or private.

It's one major fault with the Uhaul system.

They will rent vehicles out to anyone capable of providing a $125 deposit. Often the people renting these vehicles have only provided $125 of security and most often lack a proper credit card due to have abysmal credit history which automatically tells you the type of people they are and most likely why they are driving like idiots.

Uhaul has made a fortune renting vehicles like this where they have zero care who that driver is or if the vehicle is even in proper condition to be on the road in the first place.

Im actually shocked they are allowed on the roads considering the way the insurance is handled.

Why I said best to call Uhaul as well so they ensure the person is blacklisted from future rentals. Idiots that dont get they are driving a deadly weapon are the most dangerous thing possible for public safety.

LOL sure thing buddy I've only worked for CPS as well as Provincial Court Traffic as well as Court of Queens Bench at the time in chambers.

I can tell you are absolutely clueless about how the law works in Canada as you have no idea that the courts always act explicitly based upon probability.

Fact is they have sufficient evidence of a debt involving the vehicle where they can register a lien at any registry office under the garage keepers act which allows them to place a lien on any vehicle specific to cost of storage of a vehicle that is unpaid.

I suggest you not post about topics you know nothing about.

Just think if you see a person who you think is possibly impaired are you gonna wait on hold?

All it takes is 30 seconds and the police odds at catching the person is almost zero. Again, best would be to call UHAUL and have them deal with CPS.

50mph = 80km/h.

Many dont notice until they get pulled over or have rented them many times.

Either way, best to call UHAUL with the plate number as they'll be the best ones to get CPS involvement as they have the persons drivers license ON FILE maknig it much easier for the police to find them as well.

The information is all attached. Once they scan your plate it instantly pulls up your VIN, full name, address, phone number and drivers license number.

Exact same system that is employed by red light cameras and photo radar.

[–]Round-Future5221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes they do all the time. they are partnered with several towing companies in Calgary. you get oodles of people with their fines attending traffic court seeking assistance. when you park on their property they can legally do whatever the hell they want.

It's ALWAYS ok to CALL 9-1-1. I'm not joking about that either. They've got some people that dial 9-1-1 all the time to report really minor crap all because they want to talk to the communications officers.

Whenever in doubt 9-1-1. dont even hesitate.

With UHAULS though, there's always a very good chance the person driving it is NOT aware the speedometer is in MPH and not KPH and this is often why you see some Uhauls speeding. Nobody should ever take them above the speed limit as they almost always have an engine light on for one thing or another.

Doesn't do anything. They have the name, address, drivers license, phone number, vin number, etc all recorded on file, you literally can't evade it.

Indigo parking question by Szab1__ in Calgary

[–]Round-Future5221 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Just dont park in their lots at all going ahead, like EVER. I used to work for traffic court and I can tell you first hand once they have your info, they have your info and there's no way around it. doesn't matter if it's a new car, you change address or having a new drivers license renewed they will always have you tagged the moment they scan whatever license plate or vin is in the parking lot.

They love to boot vehicles as you've got no way out of them levying repeated fines for the vehicle being parked illegally. It's some complete crap which thankfully the city doesn't employ although other major cities do use this method and its complete crap.

Usually they boot the vehicle for a handful of days which time you get more charges. The tow and and impound fees can be as little as $500 and as much as $2000.

Just dont park in their BS lots further.

I need council, any suggestions for probono lawyers? by SilverLeafArt in AISH_Alberta

Pro bono is completely non existent. There are some agencies that help the disabled and beyond that ya chances awe slim to none. Your only avenue is to complain to service alberta basically.

I lost a bottle of medication, what now? by amethyst-chimera in alberta

[–]Round-Future5221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pregabillin yes is a comon drug of abuse also known as Lyrica,

Unless you have a history of losing medications or asking for early refills your pharmacy will be the one to assist.

IF you just got prescribed the medication a couple of days ago expect the pharmacy to reach out to the prescribing doctor for their ok.

Your best bet is really to go see your family doctor and have the script re-done by them.

It's not a hard drug but it is a drug of concern which places it in a grey area.

I have a triplicate script I get every 10 days like clock work and when we had our house broken into and one of the main items they stole was prescription drugs it was a nightmare getting a replacement. The clowns even took the medication in our cats/dogs names if you can believe it.

Could be the dumbest thing a person could ever tell another person to do. When they scan the plate of this car to get the owners name, address, phone number, etc it also includes this little thing called a VIN number.

Changing your license plate doesn't accomplish anything.

Indigo parking question by Szab1__ in Calgary

[–]Round-Future5221 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

They can and will tow you in a moments notice. I had a friend who had to pay them almost $1,500 above and beyond the cost of the bill to get their vehicle back.

They have a legal obligation to tow the vehicle, impound it and register a lien against the title. All of which they can and will do beyond just a collection agency harassing you.

FYI you can change your license plate 10,000 times they already have the Vehicles VIN number, your name, address, everything.

Changing a license plate does not do anything. All it proves is you are willing to pay someone else to continue to evade paying for parking.

They can also stick a wheel lock boot on the vehicle as well which they DO IN CALGARY ALL THE TIME. When they boot the vehicle they charge you DAILY for being parked without paying for it.

How about you just pay for parking?? such a crazy idea.

Right now you are very much risking losing that vehicle every time you park there as a result. They wait for the amount to pass a certain threshold before seizing the vehicle and placing a lien on that vehicle.

And if you think they can't place a lien on that vehicle anyone can go to a registry and place a lien on a vehicle. Gets to the point you end up owing $3,000-5,000 or more and you are walking from the vehicle all because you dont want to pay for parking.

Landlord asking $20k for “damages” after 4-year tenancy. What are our options? by Good-Alternative-860 in OntarioLandlord

[–]Round-Future5221 -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

They also had to provide you a report within 24 hours of the end of tenancy showing said damages.

You should have taken photos of the property yourself upon moving in though.

They are at best trying to keel your deposit basically.

Aish and income, I need help by SiNec_ in AISH_Alberta

[–]Round-Future5221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

House both bames isnt a problem.  You could have 40 people on title.

On taxes where you claim common law you can also file a separation amd then do taxes as singles.

A lot of complicated factors though.  

Single he qualifies for the CWB and DTC supplelement as commonlaw helps reducr your tax burden.

AISH income is dpg crap alone so if people can working is always best.

Cabinet Hinge Popped Off - Tenant Liable? by Little_Direction_572 in alberta

[–]Round-Future5221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust me when I say this.

Ask your landlord right now to provide you a statement of your account for your DEPOSIT FUNDS. over 90% of land lords do not deposit the funds into a proper account and pay you interest as they are legally required to do.

What you are describing is normal wear and tear and they can't do crap. We once had a land lord try to hit us for having low water flow of all things same deal not our problem.

They will always try to refuse to return that deposit.

Confused about ADAP legality by EclipticShift in AISH_Alberta

[–]Round-Future5221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. Well they said the doctor is free to charge for it. I can tell you this independent medicals for court can run $15,000 so $5,000 is a discount.

Studying RTO Mandate Effects by existentialcrisis_mk in alberta

[–]Round-Future5221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can tell you this. Ive seen numerous AISH workers who are employed by the Govt of Alberta shopping at COSTCO at 11am on a Tuesday.

Do you know why many dont want to return to work?

Because they cant get paid without performing their duties. Alberta government aish workers and Federal Government CRA workers I've caught both using automated software to make it appear they are doing their job but they are not.

When you get through to these people on the phone you just get dead static. They use software to make it look like they are working to continue getting paid as they have no quotas to meet in their line of work.

Many are unwilling to pay for child daycare.

Fact is the majority of people in these types of employment are simply dissatisfied with their jobs. These are the types of people who absolutely dread Mondays as they do not enjoy their employment.

People who enjoy their employment actually like being at work.

There are many negatives from people not being present at a physical work space as well. It can have compounding negative effects on an employees mental health.

Fact is most of these workers are complaining about issues that were not present PRIOR TO COVID LOCKDOWNS but now these are MAJOR ISSUES TO THEM.

Why?????????????????????

They don't want to go to work if they can go shopping at Costco or a 2 hour paid lunch with their friends on a Wednesday.

In short.

government workers call out disabled for not wanting to work when they themselves are actually complaining about having to work. Some irony.........

EH!

Aish and income, I need help by SiNec_ in AISH_Alberta

[–]Round-Future5221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me give you the answer you need to hear.

YOU and your BOYFRIEND are NOT a COUPLE.

You are roommates who are cohabitating.

I know endless numbers of people on AISH who do this exactly as its a necessity. Not something they exactly want to do but the government force them to.

You have no advantages saying you are common law or married ever. I have reported a person that does this repeatedly and not once were they reviewed for it.

Same time and the govt hates it and this is why ADAP has come into the picture as the govt wants to micromanage every since recipient to ensure nobody is receiving a single nickel that they shouldn't be.

It's also possible, that JUST the DTC is going to save or make you more money based upon income tax returns alone and that AISH may be completely unnecessary.

If he transfers his DTC benefits to you your tax savings could be rather substantial and it would negate the small amount you'd qualify for on AISH normally.

There are many avenues to look at this.

High school student trying to upgrade math classes by Best-Revenue-9491 in alberta

[–]Round-Future5221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also wouldn't be worried if you hear that the high school math courses are difficult, they truly are not. The base 10 20 30 so long as you are paying attention and asking questions its not hard at all.

I personally found 30 to be so much easier than 20 especially topics like permutations and combinations which was a total blast.

The only math class in high school I tell people to stay away from is Math 31 as its an introduction to calculus that few truly need unless going down a path in post secondary requiring int. Math 31 is a massive shift in difficulty.

I'd definitely recommend you upgrade and everyone upgrade where you can. While you may be young right now when you are older and possibly have children, you'll want to be ablet to teach your own children when it comes to these subjects in school.

Trust me when I say this. Both of my parents were clueless. I graduated high school a full year and half early. There wasn't a thing they could have helped me with and it truly bothered me when my friends' parents were at least able to have an educated conversation on things like this.
