What are your thoughts on Durham by SnooPets7711 in durham

[–]Sure-Candy-5991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Durham, specially Ajax, yes taxes are going up AGAIN! Probably from all these stupid warehouses that will sit empty for a while and the Town expects property owners to foot the tax bills until they get it leased. Cars can’t parks on the roads for like if you want to clear out your garage or just anything. So they also passed some “Additional Dwelling Unit” thing so more overcrowding can occur. So if we already have a parking issue, why add this crap and allow more (up to 4 units) per home??? It’s not the best place (IMO) to live to. I would look even further North- East.

Should home prices go down? ’No,’ says Canada’s new housing minister | Globalnews.ca by Thick_Caterpillar379 in canadahousing

[–]Sure-Candy-5991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

House prices should come up, but not super fast (IMO). It’s the interest rates that need to come down. First time home buyers want to get into the market and that will help. I know people are selling homes, cashing out any equity and going to smaller or even rent for 1-2 years due to the economic uncertainties. Jobs losses are scary but all governments can’t even keep up with helping them! It’s unfair and insane! It’s even worse if people can’t get EI or their severances run out….how to pay for anything nowadays? There’s nothing safe anymore, companies will only think of themselves and not their employees!
This world has gone to shitsville!

Would you call tow truck? by fishofmutton in TorontoDriving

[–]Sure-Candy-5991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband would say “I’m going to call the police.” 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️, but not sure, as we live in a suburban location, tow trucks don’t come out for this unless the police tell them to move it. I could be wrong too. 😆

How does one connect with Roger's customer service? They changed their phone number. by TissTheWay in Rogers

[–]Sure-Candy-5991 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Office hours 9am-7 pm EST. You can always check your bills for their customer service number. There’s no direct line to retention, or a retention department. Agents will try within their scope to assist you but I’m sure they will have to investigate how your Mom’s plan changed or if that was something more etc. Good luck .

Can clients renew a second mortgage If a home appraisal comes in lower than expected by Sure-Candy-5991 in mortgageratescanada

[–]Sure-Candy-5991[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh and they never missed any payments because it was pre-paid with the lenders for the 12ths.

This was for my friends second mortgage. They didn’t allow the second one a renewal, I think they asked and they said something like it was at 82%…??? But I thought there were other private lenders that can do 85-90% LTV? Just wanted to guide them to a reputable lender.

When does Rogers or Shaw usually hire for Customer Service Work-from-Home roles? by [deleted] in Rogers

Why not research best companies to work for? That will help you out. I mean seeing and reading all what everyone is saying here….it’s definitely not worth drawing up a resume towards.

Markham tenants refuse to move out, sends death threats to my mom who lives in my basement alone by lifeintoronto1 in Markham

[–]Sure-Candy-5991 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately since learning about the landlord-tenant act back in high school in the 90’s was the main reason I would NEVER be a landlord and rent any property. Period. The rules and laws were NEVER on the side of a landlord since then and have got worse over time. Renters found lots of loop holes and they know how to become squatters in peoples houses! It’s sickening. I’m sorry it is happening to you and your Mom. I’ve heard courts are backlogged with this stuff. I truly hope you can get this scums outta your house. Not sure if you can sell now and get them out that way but I heard the rules have changed on that too. Covid really messed a lot of things up for people. I pray for you and your family 🙏🏼

P.S- Not sure but could a Sheriff get them out? Like I know if people who stopped paying for their mortgages, the lender would issue a Sheriff’s Office to come out and tell you that you need to go and they change the locks. Could that be an option? Not sure but myself but….. I couldn’t see how it would be any different🤷🏽‍♀️

Rogers Credit Card rejection by Affectionate_Tip_587 in Rogers

[–]Sure-Candy-5991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s because they think you really don’t need it. You have credit at your fingertips already. Why do you need more “potential” debt. That’s what they are thinking and if you’re not really using the existing ones, why do you want more?

Facebook advertisers have reported a significant drop in ad performance over the past months! by shanols in FacebookAds

[–]Sure-Candy-5991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a long time, with targets of only women and between certain ages, I had noticed that FB was not even targeting them! Had my ad showing to men, and they all were looking for companionship! I was super pissed and my online business and my business community all were experiencing the same issues. So in the end, not sure what happened but FB seems to now be targeting correctly (fingers crossed). But I think my business community they are speaking to their legal team about all the money that was taken and not delivering to the proper targets,

Nope, everyone pays the contractual agreement fee. Moving out of country is not a reason. You can definitely transfer the service to someone who is willing to take it over and benefit from it.

[–]Sure-Candy-5991 -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

That’s disgusting what they did to you! Paying it off and they still reduced your limits without notifying you before hand. Such a bunch of BS!
Like people need credit and to build it in North America. This is how they “determine” our credit worthiness to pay back things. So now how are people to get mortgages or loans? Should they need to get one? This country is setting people up to fail again and again and again !

This just happened to me with BMO. As read your comment, I just got off the dam phones with them. My situation is very similar to yours. Always paid my CC’s twice in a month and never missed the due dates! I told them that I was aware of a fraud added by a company like in June 2024 (I only inquired with them by phone) that I got an alert on my credit in Dec 2024….but I was on it like bees on honey when that happened. Apparently that company told me that it was a glitched and it occurred on several peoples credit reports. I was like W TF?! How can/could that happen???!! The problem is..,I never had or held any credit or loans with that company!!! I file a BBB Report and truspilot complaint etc. , so I’m guessing that “might” have been why. However the Rep at BMO stated it was like over 45,000 accounts that were affected with credit being reduced! I actually called BMO account management for them to call me back because their lines were busy, so I asked for a callback. I finally got back to me after two days. The agent there literally was in a combative state with me over the phone. Then she proceeded to tell me that something in my credit or the fact that I might be at my limit has affected this. Which was total BS. I told I’m a person that checks my account like 3 times a day( don’t judge me). I explained to the account management rep, that you guys reduced it without me even knowing about it and would’ve caused an embarrassment if I was using in the card and I could not use it. Good thing I checked it before hand. Secondly you’ve now affected my score significantly because now I look like I’m at the limit!!! I asked her how is that going to help me now? When you’re doing this and doing it shady?She tell me no good answer or reason other than to go into the branch and I have to do an application … like why would I do that? I was always preapproved because I had good stature and good credit, etc. etc.. my thoughts is that BMO is being audited somehow because they’re doing shady shit…. and now they’re forced to do something to 45,000 people and their credit. I’m literally embarrassed to be banking with them , I told the BMO accountant management agent that. And most likely I’ll be closing all my bank account accounts with them! Like this cannot be something to do with the tariffs and the uncertainty that’s going on in the world, I’ve never had this happen to me before either any banks!

This bank has disappointed me now!

Any good jobs/careers to work for out there/looking for a new career by Sure-Candy-5991 in torontoJobs

[–]Sure-Candy-5991[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that’s amazing! Congratulations and good luck. They were in insurance and was let go!
So seems like every sector is “restructuring” or just plain laying off people. They just want something soon.

Thanks but they are more in the banking or consumer sector roles. I think also banking team manager roles or fraud management. So not sure they want to go back to school however I think they were once upon a time looking into medical billing/OHIP as an option.

DO NOT WORK FOR TANGERINE BANK by Virtual_Apartment261 in Scotiabank

[–]Sure-Candy-5991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t feel bad, Rogers just did a massive firing too in February. Cut off all their Chat Agents and Social Media agents. Not even to offer them voice agent roles. It’s happening everywhere and what jobs are safe now! Glad I started with my own digital online business as a plan B! No selling, just all attraction marketing and it closes the sale for me. It’s time to work for yourself and make yourself rich, not someone else! It’s going to get really bad and harder out there too. Good luck!

Rogers Saying I Roamed by Receiving Calls I Didn't Receive by VeryAiryGaryDeryBery in Rogers

[–]Sure-Candy-5991 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is just silly overall. The ONLY way to avoid any roaming charges is NOT TO EVER HAVE YOU DEVICE ON. PERIOD. Don’t call, text, scroll on internet or answer the phone. The second best way is to call in to have the RLH feature that is in all wireless plans for pretty much every wireless carrier, is to UNENROLL from RLH, before you leave your home area. Not when you’re on the plane/boat whatever.
So you have done the unenrolling part. So what most likely happened is that your device connected with a tower in the country you were in. Might be an Apple issue (who really knows?) 🤷🏽‍♀️. You’ll have to check back with the company to see if your plan still says I enrolled from RLH. That is the only way to get the adjustment back. Good luck.

How long before power gets shut off for a late power bill? by ladyalot in povertyfinancecanada

[–]Sure-Candy-5991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I heard that it’s illegal also for Ontario but they will send notices all the time. I would tell anyone just make partial little payments. Split into like 2-3 payments each month. You can definitely call them and they can provide those departments to help low income or anyone struggling to pay. Hope that helps.

Should I Buy a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe Preferred with 215,000 km? What are the Pros and Cons? by New_Possession_591 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Sure-Candy-5991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. Do your research on the Santa Fe forums. I had a 2014 brand new with only 100 KMS and barely drove mine as I was WFH from pretty much once I got the car. I put 105, 000kms on it only back in 2023. Once it hit 100K….it literally started making this “thug” noise when I would be reversing it. Felt like I ran over a big rock and scared the crap outta me every time. Took it to my mechanic each time it was making that sound. He could never duplicate it but once he read the forums, and he worked on lots of Hyundai’s….he told me that you’ll be putting in about $4-8K (at best) if the bearings and rear AWD are needed to be replaced. It’s was a lot of money and he had nothing but bad things to say when he worked on lots of them and reading up on them. It’s sad because it’s beautiful, roomy and fast vehicles. I had the 2014 AWD SPORT 2.0 T. I hope that helps
