CSA

CSA refuse my variations form

1 Comment

I’ve just had a reply from the CSA, it was very short. Just the one paragraph in fact. They said that Mrs Jamieson had disputed that I’d made any mortgage payments between the dates of January – August so they’ve refused my claim.

Hmm, I wonder why they take what she says as fact and then take what I say as a lie? I wonder too who they think was making the mortgage payments on the house. Was it:

  1. Aliens
  2. The Tooth Fairy
  3. Father Christmas
  4. Mrs Jamieson… or, more likely…
  5. Me

It’s not like it’s difficult to prove that I’ve made the payments either. I have mortgage statements and bank statements. It’s in black and white.

What bothers me, as well as why they believe what she said without any proof, is that she was so stupid as to say this in the first place. She has lied to the CSA (much the same as she lied to Direct Line when she defrauded them over my car) yet her lies will only have one result, her house will be repossessed.

They’re continuing to deduct money from my pay that I don’t owe them, causing me to have to forgo any more mortgage payments, causing our jointly owned house to be repossessed on January 21st.

Surely she understands this? Just what is wrong with the woman?

Naturally I’ll be in touch with the CSA after Christmas and will one day get the full apology they owe me. They’ll come to understand that Mrs Jamieson has lied to them. They’ll also come to understand what it means to take on someone like me.

If you think the CSA Fonejacker video was bad, just wait to see what I have planned 😉

British Telecom, Rants

What exactly is ‘British’ about British Telecom?

After emailing BT’s billing department on November 18th I have now received a reply, on December 20th. Again, like last time, they have completely missed the point and ignored my email.

Response (Svetiana Das) – 12/20/2007 02:41 PM
Dear Mr Jamieson

Thank you for your email dated 11/26/2007 regarding your BT Yahoo broadband account.

I have checked your BT Yahoo Broadband account and will be more than happy to assist you with your query. However for security and confidentiality reasons I would request you to please provide us with the answer to your security question i.e “what’s your mother’s maiden name?”. This is in accordance to the Data Protection Act.

The helpdesk is open from 8:00 am – 8:00pm Monday to Friday and. 9:00 am – 1pm Saturday. Calls are charged at Lo Call Rate.

Yours Sincerely
Svetiana Das
BT Yahoo Broadband Billing

So they want me to call them up on their 0845 number, spend several hours on hold and then get cut off like all the other times I’ve phoned them? Not bloody likely. My response was suitably lacking in patience.

You utter morons. I asked you to look at this on November 18th and it takes you over a month to reply and ask me for my security question?

This is a joke. It has to be. Surely you cannot be this bad? You must be taking the piss?

I will not be phoning your premium scam number and then getting cut off by Indians. Incidentally, why are you still called British Telecom when all I ever get are badly worded emails from Dheli?

I’ve given up trying to get a serious response from BT now as you retards just keep passing back useless emails with little or no understanding of what I’ve even asked. I suggest you forward this to someone who speaks English and ask them to check out the website it has been posted on (www.mrdaz.com) – the website where all of the shit you idiots have spouted to me over the past few months has been posted on.

Go on, send me another email on January 20th apologising for the delay, I frickin’ well dare you.

Tosser.

I wonder if I’ll get a decent response this time?

It’s fancy dress season and what better costume to wear than one you’ve made yourself? More accurately, one you’ve made famous (to a certain extent) yourself.

10 years ago 70’s reject Jake Cop patrolled the streets of L.A. looking for his arch nemesis Sanchez, this week he’ll be staggering the streets of Stockport looking for the bar. With only 24 hours to find the bar, Jake’s under a tough deadline, or it’s his piece and shield.

Jo Whiley Must Die Slowly

Leave a comment

This must be my lucky week for emails because I’ve had another email of support about my opinions on radio one scally Jo Whiley. Olly writes:

Alright man, just dropping you a line to say spot on about what you said about Jo Whiley. I actually Googled ‘Jo Whiley must die’ and yours was first on the list. Keep up the good work, you’re not alone in your anger.

I’ve checked and yes, I do rank #1 in Google for Jo Whiley Must Die.

Awesome.

Internet, SEO, Transformers

MSN ranks me #1 for ‘Transformers the Movie’

Leave a comment

Here’s an interesting thing, an SEO related post from me. I know, this blog is supposed to be about SEO yet I rarely mention it. Well, now I am. Shut up and listen.

The random website generator known as MSN always seemed to ignore my Transformers related websites, despite excellent rankings on Yahoo! and Google. It’s as if MSN had some odd, random element to its algorithm. You don’t say!

Anyhow, I recently moved the Transformers The Movie website I own to a new host and converted it to WordPress, and would you credit it but MSN suddenly found it? Not only found it, but whacked it at #1 for ‘Transformers the Movie‘. Just for the record it’s also #1 in Live.com’s variation.

Now is this because I’ve moved to a UK based host, or is it the more indexable (nice word that) WordPress that’s done the trick?

To be honest whatever the reason, if being #1 in MSN for a result was worth two shits I’d be really excited. As it is it’s worth sod all, while I’m glad MSN has discovered my website I wish the general Internet using public would discover MSN.

My first Affiliate Window Payout

Leave a comment

Today I had my first payout from network AffiliateWindow, who I’ve only been with now for a few weeks. This is a very positive start because it took me months to get my first Adsense payout in 2003, and even longer to get my first Amazon payout back in 2000.

Maybe I’m better at launching with new networks, maybe Affiliate Window have better potential. Whichever the case I’m very pleased with the performance of the network and encourage anyone who’s interested in making some serious money online to give AffiliateWindow a try.

On a related note, one of my best performing merchants is Toys R Us, so if the guys at the nation’s favourite toy store are interested in keeping affiliates sweet, I’m very into Transformers and Star Wars.

Just a hint!

An email of support from Nick, Cardiff

1 Comment

I’ve received a nice pleasant email for a change (seriously, this doesn’t happen often) from a Nick, from Cardiff, in relation to my house.

i just wanted to say i felt really sorry about your house and the fact your locked out of it and i also wanted to say that ( in a totaly non cocky silly way im 100% with you and think your 100% right) you should watch about telling everyone on the internet the house is empty and reading out the full address online and that you work on all week days incase someone breaks into the house knowing its empty.

You seem to have enough problems and i just dont want you having another one such as a real squatter who decides to move into your house over christmas for instance hope you get it all sorted out if you dont 1 thing you can do is. Phone a locksmith ( tell him you lost the only set of keys to the house and you need him to break in so you can get in they normaly will do this as long as you have some form of id showing you live / own the address letters ect and of course pay him and get him to change the locks once inside just basicaly pretend you have been locked out of your h! ouse should be fine. then when your father in law comes round make sure you have a banner in the window saying FUCK OFF in 3 foot high letters.

Merry Christmas Nick from cardiff

Thanks for that Nick!

I do have access to my house now but I can’t do anything with it unfortunately. I was all prepared to buy it from ex-wife until she decided to get greedy, meaning it will be repossessed on January 21st. To be honest if it gets squatters I couldn’t care less. They would be entering illegally though because as I understand it they can’t break and enter, only use a house that has a window or door left open.

Though of course the way the law is in the UK I’m sure they’d have all of the rights under the sun and would be protected by social workers, legal aid and all of that fuzzy liberal bullshit designed to protect those who can’t be bothered working in this fucked up Country of ours.

I hate the UK, I really do.

Thanks for your support though Nick.

Affiliate Marketing

eBay say ‘OI, PPC affiliates… NO!’

Leave a comment

eBay today announced they were changing the rules for their PPC affiliates.

Unfortunately, from 1st February 2008 we will no longer compensate for Paid Search traffic from Google, Yahoo or MSN, if directly linked to an ebay.co.uk page. After this time, any earnings from revenue or ACRUs generated through direct Paid Search will be reversed. This applies to the UK affiliate programme only.

This doesn’t affect me but I know a few people who will be severely put out by this. I wonder why it’s only the UK that’s affected?
