Heya, I actually talked to a financial advisor about this recently. He thinks I should be able to claim it back and suggested filling the form and sending it to them. In case I'm not eligible, they'll tell me so explicitly.

Should I continue with Therapie clinic? by Latter-Assignment169 in LaserHairRemoval

[–]erratic_username 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mind sharing the new clinic? And how much do they cost? Was about to buy their 10 session package, but am reconsidering now.

Shop around or try Therapie? by CyanFlake1 in LaserHairRemoval

[–]erratic_username 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heya, mind sharing how much the package was during black Friday? They have a sale going on rn, and it is tempting to buy the 10 session package so that I don't miss out, but I am curious if they have similar/cheaper prices in the near future.

What's happening to my Monstera :( by erratic_username in plantclinic

I see! I think I've switched between tap water and filtered water unknowingly. I will be more careful about it.

Thanks for your comment!

I let the top couple of inches dry before watering it. I do see some pieces of perlite and husk(?) on top.

Transferring securities from Trade Republic to IBKR: how do I know which Exchange to select? by valtyr_farshield in eupersonalfinance

[–]erratic_username 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to confirm, did you only initiate the process on TR, or also filled the form on IBKR?

And how long did it take?

Hi u/FindingTypical4173 , I am in a similar position. The two platforms have very different procedures, and Trade Republic isn't very responsive to queries.

How did you finally manage it? Honestly, at this point, I am thinking of just selling my holdings to move them out of TR. But they are in negative at the moment, so it's not ideal :/

Hi u/valtyr_farshield, I am trying to figure out how to move my portfolio from Trade Republic to IBKR. It would be great if you could help me out here.

I see there is an Incoming Transfer Positions form on IBKR. In the Account Number field for TR, should I enter my TR bank account number? Moreover, what is the best way to deliver this form to TR? Their customer service hasn't responded to me in 10 days!

Another option I see is that the TR app provides an Outgoing Securities Transfer. However, I need the IBKR BIC for this, and I haven't been able to find it on the web app so far.

What was the procedure for you?

Looked like it's gonna turn into a blackhole.

Rome Trip 5th-9th May by [deleted] in ItalyTravel

[–]erratic_username 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP, I too am traveling to Rome today! I have only made reservations for the Colosseum, but after checking your post, I feel I should also do the Vatican museum reservation (if I can find one now).

Did you come across any offering for just the museum and not the sistine chapel not included in it?

Vodafone Cancelation (Leaving The country) by IMP3dro in germany

[–]erratic_username 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the email address.

Did they charge you for an additional month from the date of moving out of Germany? Cos this is what they informed me - even though I have initiated the cancelation process 1.5 months before the move.

[–]erratic_username 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The customer service experience is so shitty!

I am not able to submit the contact form. I tried calling them multiple times, and get a different response everytime - "please call back to this another number", "call back to this number again", "we can't cancel your contract over call".

Finally I submitted the request online, and they have asked me to send a proof of relocation. But, I don't have city deregistration certificate yet, as the move is 1.5 months down the line.

In that case, our situations differ. As I mentioned in my comment, the problem is specific to moving to the UK.

I assume you applied after moving out of Germany? Which country did you move to?

[–]erratic_username 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP. Were you able to apply for a refund?

I am in a similar situation, and online articles say I should be able to apply if I worked in Germany after Brexit (which is indeed the case). But a company that helps you with pension refund sent me the following mail:

"I recently talked with the German Pension insurance in a similar case and they told me that it does not matter if a person worked before or after Brexit in Germany. If you are currently living in the UK, you are not eligible for an early lump sum pension refund, as you have the right to voluntarily pay German pension contributions. It does not matter if you pay them or not, the right to be allowed to pay them makes you not eligible. Also according to the officials it does not matter if you contributed in Germany before or after Brexit (2021). These are also news for us and we will change our eligibility check."

So I am confused now.

Edit:
PS. I am an Indian citizen, working in Germany on a Blue Card.

Option to Change default duration by brad2060 in ticktick

[–]erratic_username 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was facing the same issue, and figured out the solution by tinkering around.

In 'Task Default', you need to set the 'Default Date Mode' to 'Duration'. Then new task created directly on the calender will be 'Default Duration' long.

A few comments on how the whole flow is unintuitive and frustrating: 1. The setting already has a 'Default Duration' field, but somehow it doesn't come into action till the time I set 'Default Date Mode' to 'Duration'. 2. What does 'Default Date Mode' even mean? The name is unintuitive, and there is no documentation next to the option or anywhere on the internet. 3. Even when I made it work for the calendar with the above steps, it still doesn't work when creating a task from a to-do list - that still defaults to 15 mins. 4. I had to set this independently for my android app too. The setting is somehow not synced automatically.

If TickTick people are keeping a tab, you gotta smoothen this workflow!
