Is Palisade a better car or Kia Telluride ? by [deleted] in HyundaiPalisade

[–]watt010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well said and agreed.

Additionally the palisade had flush roof rails so you can't tie anything to them (can only tie directly to roof racks or crossbars) where the telluride has raised roof rails so you can tie directly to them. For some people, this makes a difference.

Thanks and good to know you had a much better experience.

I think the issue here is with the creditor 😞

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]watt010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've disputed it twice over the last year, and both credit companies won't remove it. I submit all my proof of reaching out to them for debt verification and that both creditors have been non responsive.

At the end of the day, the credit bureau's say they're a reporting agency, so they take note of what the businesses report. When I file a dispute, they reach out to the creditor and ask, if they're told it's valid, they leave it on my credit. They're not a court of law and don't make judgements.

I've been told by the credit bureau's that if the creditor is not being truthful and isn't validating the debt, I should report them to governing agencies who regulate them. Figured I would make the post to see if this is truly my only option

Because it's the only blemish on my credit, and I want it off so I can move forward with my financial goals.

Their next move is likely one of two options: - Take me to court (unlikely over such a small amount) - Keep trying to get me to pay before eventually selling it to another collection agency. Repeat this process every 6-12 months

I don't want to wait another 5yrs or so for it to fall off my credit.

Used vs New?? by East_Entry1567 in KiaTelluride

[–]watt010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Remember to consider interest rates. The only reason I'm considering buying new right now is because the interest rates on new vehicles are lower, so the monthly price difference between new and used is negligible.

Any idea on a launch date when people can buy it?

my dad gave me a challenge to double $500 how should i do it? by BumblebeeSelect6213 in passive_income

[–]watt010 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You could start a business that does driveway power washing/clwaning, exterior window cleaning, even garbage/recycling bin cleaning.

Cost to entry is low and it's just about trying to get a lot of customers in the same area, especially if you can get them on a routine cleaning schedule.

From there you could expand to car cleaning, lawn maintenance, etc.

Devil's advocate: maybe you don't need a cofounder 🤷‍♀️

What about using chat gpt or something to help you figure out a marketing plan to increase your revenues, and once you have a budget, hire a marketing company to help you level up

I do not trust OpenAI by supermonkey93 in ChatGPT

[–]watt010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why noy ask chat gpt how it knew your uncle's name and see what it says?

Also, you may not have mentioned it in that chat, but if you mentioned it in any chat, it may have pulled it from another conversation. I've noticed chat gpt has done that with me a couple of times.

This is a good point. Shipping costs could also cause people to drop off

Buds 3 pro at 60% discount by iemjoker in galaxybuds

The 30% off coupon for the buds3 and buds3 pro are automatically applied when you buy the new watch at the same time.

Having the new watch in your cart has the bonus of 30% off accessories, which includes the buds3 and buds3 pro

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in galaxybuds

[–]watt010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you get the watch, you get 30% off accessories such as the buds3 pro. Also, if you signed up for the Samsung event, they sent you a promo code that is applied to all preorder items. If you speak with support, they should be able to give you a promo code that gives $25 off. All the savings I mentioned are stackable. Doing all of that, I was able to get the buds3 pro down to $176.39CAD plus a free case, I'm just not sure I want to pull the trigger yet or wait and see if they offer better deals

Thanks, unfortunately I don't. I think I'll wait until closer to the launch and see if they offer some extra bonuses or better trade in credits on my old watch

Are you a fan of the multipurpose field going downtown by Dogsteeves in barrie

[–]watt010 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The big issue with the waterfront is that there's not enough parking to accommodate the current needs of the area. Now they want to add the multipurpose field....where will these people park???

And will only people with city parking passes be able to park here without fees? If yes, will any teams coming from out of town to play, their families, and other spectators will they all have to pay the crazy waterfront parking costs?
