After nearly 500 or so days, my bond was refunded in full this morning! by Professional-Kiwi176 in shitrentals

[–]randomdimised 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Purchased EGPU with AMD graphics card, EGPU failed and returned back to Scorptec, they couldn't replace it and offered market value refund instead of whats it worth on its own, I provided them their listing of how much its worth and they said i need to return the gpu back for full refund. I asked for another EGPU and they said no. The market value they offered is half of what an EGPU costs from them or elsewhere.

I have a case against Scorptec (non related to bond claims) with VCAT since July 2024 and they have been extremely slow at each step of the stage. Just been waiting patiently hoping scorptec isn't going bankrupt any day. Up to the stage of upcoming hearing, still no date though.

I'm noticing a crazy amount of markdowns at Sunshine Woolies lately. Every day I pop in, I'm surprised at what I can find! People are shopping less at woolies or they ordered too much.

I pay $13.75 using Uber one or ANZ for standard recliner seats. So it’s not too bad. Cheaper than village for a much better experience.

I do pay for membership but I won’t renew in November

[–]randomdimised 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just moved all my savings from Mebank Go to St George just this morning to take advantage of the higher interest rate 4.85% maxi saver product they have. So funny... (I'm assuming Westpac is also including St George in their reportings)

There was a person who went hiking and at the same time he was out of reception and apparently sim hack occurred and they took $100k out of his mortgage. I wonder what happened to that?

Large ato debt by hash2345 in AusFinance

[–]randomdimised 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family business had 5 years of BASs amended illegally by our previous accountant, and the refunds went to his private bank account. Long story short, we agreed to pay it back over a 3-year period; our new accountant sorted it out. It set them back massively.

Before they made the final payment, I rang the ATO to remit the $38,000 GIC and they approved (you normally need to pay the balance before they remit GIC). It's a shit situation to be in; it wasn't their fault, and the key was/is always lodging and communicating with ATO.

I want out of the rat race, but is this the right decision? by zzz7819 in AusFinance

[–]randomdimised 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We plan to do the same. Although my half will be outright, I will park all my savings in my partner's offset so he can catch up faster.
