The final straw with my ex wife

Leave a comment

The letter I received from the CSA today saying my ex-wife had disputed I’d made any mortgage payments was the final straw. I’ve just sent this to my solicitor.

Hi Kelly and Chris.

I’ve just received another letter from Kelly that is exactly the same as one Chris has already sent. Can you guys make sure you’re not sending me the same information as I’ve received duplicate letters from you both twice now. Obviously I don’t want to be charged twice for the same letter!

In answer to ETLP’s letter this time, I would like to point out straight away that I have not ‘changed my mind’ as they have suggested. Mrs Jamieson has reneged on the agreed offer in an attempt to get more money from me for her inevitable repayment to Direct Line. We had an agreement, she changed it.

I will obviously not consider her offer as the condition of the house has changed and the time wasted has caused me to accrue more mortgage arrears.

I would consider buying the house from her if she removes all 3 references that Kelly highlighted in the offer. I require this as I fully intend to help Direct Line insurance pursue Mrs Jamieson for the money she illegally obtained from them, and I wish Direct Line to compensate me for the depreciation on my car, and the loan I paid on it while it was in limbo for a year as a result of theirs, and her actions.

I also require the amount of arrears to be deducted from the offer I made to her, which means I will offer her £10,000 for her share in the house, the furniture and everything else inside. Including the items she has removed, the two canvas paintings and the two Michael Jackson jackets.

Furthermore she has once again lied to the CSA saying that I have not made mortgage payments on the house. The CSA being the CSA have taken what she has said as fact and have refused to consider my variations form, meaning I am having too much money deducted from my earnings. She must contact the CSA immediately and inform them that I have been making the payments from January – August. In addition if I buy the house from her I will of course be paying the arrears, which takes us up to date.

If she does not agree to all of this, without exception, the house will be repossessed with my blessing.

I can’t stress enough how serious I am about this and how I am FULLY prepared to let the house be repossessed. I have had enough of her crap, if she wants to lose the house then I will allow it to go, simple as that.

Obviously with regards to the CSA I merely have to show them mortgage statements to prove I have made the payments, but as they are so painfully slow and incompetent they will take months, if not years to correctly identify what I have paid. This is why she must do it. Immediately.

Please let me know what her response is as to be perfectly honest I couldn’t care less any more either way. I’m 50/50 on letting the house go and washing my hands of her.

Thanks for your time.

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.

Please accept my apologies for any problems you may have experienced regarding the billing of your BT Yahoo Broadband service and the delay in answering the mail.

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?

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.

Mr Daz phones Parcel Force

Leave a comment

You might remember the efforts I made in the last week to get a parcel delivered by Parcel Force. They were supposed to phone me back on Monday but couldn’t be arsed.

You might also remember I mentioned how awful their auto voice recognition software was and that I thought I was in a Fonejacker sketch? Well today I phoned them, and just to prove a point I went through their voice recognition system to show how bad it is.

Eventually I got through to what they pass off as a human and to my surprise they had no record once again of me having phoned. This one’s a hoot.

This site may harm your computer

Leave a comment

My DVD Reviews website, WhatDVD.Net was hacked today, again. This is becoming a habit, and mostly down to the fact that it’s a bloody Windows hosted website. Anyway, that’ll change soon enough, but the fact remains it was hacked and once again I had to restore the database from a back-up.

Problem is, due to the fact that WhatDVD.Net is so successful in Google (Page 1 for ‘DVD Reviews‘) it gets indexed several times a day, and was indexed with the hack in place. Google has read the code on the site and flagged it up as potentially unsafe.

DVD Reviews

The message it flags up is ‘This site may harm your computer’… nice eh? My readers will love that. Considering the traffic WhatDVD.Net gets from Google this is causing quite an effect.

When you try to click through to the site you get this message.

May Harm small

Luckily you can request Google re-evaluates the website through Webmaster tools, but what a load of messing around because of some cock hacking the site. What did it achieve?

Tossers.

Parcel Force are incompetent, who’d have guessed

2 Comments

Just  when I thought I couldn’t find another incompetent company, along came the morons at Parcel Force. I ordered an electrical item online last week and missed the delivery at home. I was left with a Parcel Force card saying that my item was in Manchester sorting office, which was miles away from where I live so I phoned them up.

This is where the fun starts. I went through the worst voice recognition software program I’ve ever experienced, it was so bad I was convinced that it was a Fonejacker call. “Please say your house number”

Seventeen… “You said… Sixteen… is this correct?”

Fuck me.

I eventually got through to a human and was assured that my parcel would be delivered to my local Post Office for the next day so I could collect it on Saturday, just now. Guess what? That’s right, it wasn’t there.

I just telephoned them again and some obnoxious Manc woman told me that my parcel hadn’t been sent anywhere and they had no record of my calling them.

Again, this is why I record my phone calls.

She said she could get it sent to my Post Office for Monday, which of course as I WORK is no use to me. That’s why I called them last week so I could collect it today.

I asked if I could have it sent to my work, but alas they won’t send it to an SK10 postcode.

Finally she assured me that a supervisor would phone me on Monday. I seriously doubt that, but we’ll have the old phone recording software on standby just in case.

As for the parcel, I doubt I’ll get that in time for Christmas now. Unlucky, but not unexpected.

Now I can’t say the word Pikey?

3 Comments

According to the Metro today, ‘Pikey’ is now a race hate word. What’s the bloody world coming to when I can’t call someone a Pikey twat, or a thieving Pikey.

A gardener is thought to have made legal history after being convicted of racially aggravated harassment for using the word ‘pikey’.

Lee Coleman repeatedly used the term, a derogatory reference to gypsies and Travellers, in a drunken outburst over a nightclub entry fee.

This is a sodding outrage. I really feel for the gardener who was obviously victimised for simply stating the truth about some Pikey.
