Fees and Taxes

For a very long time, people thought that they could borrow money from me, without having to pay it back on time. Situations became ridiculous and I was forced to make some decisions - I had to add the fees and taxes to make sure those people learnt their lesson. Unfortunately, I have to use the exact same system with certain companies and businesses, especially those who have a habit of ripping off or don't care about their customers. There are no exemptions or excuses - everyone dies one day, we ALL get sick or have some sort of disability. Anyone can create an excuse or story so they wouldn't have to pay, that's why there are 'NO EXCEPTIONS'.

The Fees and Taxes: The Official Fee and How it All came about.

An agreement is always organized beforehand, this is how we arrange the payment day or date. If the money is not paid back by the first agreed date, the payment becomes x2 + $2 per day until it is paid. Usually by this time, another day and/or date has been organized. If not, then it becomes the agreed amount x 2 + $2 per day x 10.

Many people have tried to get out of paying the fees and taxes, but there's ONLY one way in which you could escape them - pay EVERYTHING on time, before the agreed day or date.

Business have their terms & conditions or rules & regulations, and they're always advertised somewhere. But, they never think that it could happen to them.
~ NO EXEMPTIONS OR EXCUSES. Companies and businesses shouldn't try to rip people off, especially those who are struggling - which is most people. Unfortunately, it has happened too often and society has had enough. They don't care what we do or go through, as long as they have your money - even when they owe you. That is the exact reason why I created My 'Fees and Taxes'. There are other reasons which have contributed towards this creation, but this is one of the main.

Businesses/Companies NEVER expect the community/society to do anything and think they'll take such insolence... Wrong! We too, have a voice, we will always stand up for ourselves - we WON'T be bullied!

I WISH YOU ENOUGH

~ Missxstatic I WISH YOU ENOUGH:

Today, I was on Facebook reading my timeline. I don't always do it, as there's so much spam lately. But, I came across something that caught my attention very easily. It's not who it is to, it is the reason why...

From the profile of TheIdealist:

Recently, I overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport as the daughter's departure had been announced. Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the mother said:

"I love you and I wish you enough."

The daughter replied, "Mum, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Mum." They kissed and the daughter left.

The mother walked over to the window where I sat. Standing there, I could see she wanted and needed to cry.

I tried not to intrude on her privacy but she welcomed me in by asking, "Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?" "Yes, I have," I replied. "Forgive me for asking but why is this a forever good-bye?"

"I am old and she lives so far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is the next trip back will be for my funeral," she said.

When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, "I wish you enough." May I ask what that means?"

She began to smile. "That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone." She paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail and she smiled even more.

"When we said 'I wish you enough' we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them". Then turning toward me, she shared the following, reciting it from memory,

"I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.

I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.

I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.

I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.

I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.

I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye."

She then began to cry and walked away.

They say it takes a minute to find a special person. An hour to appreciate them. A day to love them. And an entire life to forget them.

Bullied by Businesses/Corporations

This is a formal, but official statement made by and from myself towards mobile telephone company, Optus.

An agreement was made between myself and Optus, for a final payment. The payment is to cover the next month's bill, as I have to pay in advance.

The agreement was made, due to Optus creating bogus charges, fees and administration costs. They stopped sending the phone bill and charged me late fees for their continuous incompetence. Anyone can see that Optus only wants people's money, even when they're not owed.

I finished my contact with Optus in May. The new billing period started the day I stopped, so why would I pay for services from May to June 2012? The exact time frame that I was not with their company.


The Agreement:

Optus agreed not to add more charges or fees, as long as I paid what was owed. If any extras were charged to myself, the bill would be null and void - Optus takes full responsibility for paying the bill. It was their way of proving they weren't trying to steal more money from me.

I paid my final bill, but I refuse to pay for services in advance - when I am not with that company. My monthly bill was $65, Optus charged $75 and has been adding late fees, administration costs and so on. The bill was voided and in null by June 2012. I have been receiving threatening letters and have now received a letter from a collection agency.

I'm NOT stupid, I made that exact agreement for a reason and I have continued to notify Optus of it, frequently - so they cannot say they didn't know about it.


Life in General:

I am physically, mentally and emotionally affected by the continuous stress that Optus has given me since joining their service in 2010. In the last 12 months, I have paid them $1500+ - they were owed $780, the rest are charges and fees. In one bill, they asked for $2700 - from that day onwards, all contact was to be made through my mother. She knows how to run a large corporation, as she recently demoted herself to a position that gave less stress - another reason we originally moved from Sydney to Newcastle NSW.


The Proposal
Similar to the Verbal and Written Payment Agreement

If Optus continues the harassment and abuse, they will pay out financial compensation for the mental and emotional problems they've caused and will also pay financial compensation to others who's lives have been affected by the stress Optus has placed on myself and my family.


FINAL STATEMENT: Optus broke the agreement and took full responsibility for paying the bogus phone bill, it no longer has anything to do with me. I changed companies due to being ripped off - if someone up the street stole money from you, it's called theft. But when large corporations do it, it's called business.

I have nothing to do with Optus, their company or affiliates. I have nothing to do with their last charges, I paid my proper bill. I have no reason to be in contact with Optus and no reason for them to contact me. Any contact, including letters - will be classed as harassment and stalking. It will be taken as: harassment/stalking is abuse, victimizing people will only make them more determined to do something about the abuse.

DON'T be BULLIED by large corporations or businesses!

QLD Floods: Help Needed & Offered

In this time of need Australia has come together as a whole, in support of those in need. Families drove to flood effected areas for supplies, to help pack up their homes and to hopefully get resources to help protect their homes - sandbags etc. During these trips, families have noticed that the centers are overloaded with incoming donations and decided to stay and volunteer their services.

I have seen many messages on Facebook and Twitter of many giving people, who are trying anyway they can, to help raise awareness of what is happening in Australia. From these messages, some of the Local and National News & Media, have been using these messages on television - so the word is getting out there and awareness is being raised more.

Many Residents have been offereing their homes and rooms to flood victims, food, goods and services have also been offered to families and individuals. The Donations, Goods & Services offered by the Government and Charity Organizations, do not reach most flood victims for days to weeks. Like the Victorian Bush Fires, alot of victims didn't received help until after the fires had been extinguished.Many of the families are still living in temporary make-shift homes and buildings.

It is people and residents like the mentioned ones, who help families and individuals right now, when it is actually needed. Goods and Services have been sent by the Government, but not everything that is actually needed has been sent - shelter, clothing, food, water and much more. It's the kind-heartedness of strangers coming together to make a difference when and where it is needed.

We mustn't forget that Floods affect everyone. When a natural disaster occurs, our minds rush into evacuation mode, when we began packing and trying to save our lives and belongings, we may sometimes forget the little things. During this time, alot of families had travelled away from home for the Christmas and New Year holidays. They were unable to get home in time to save their homes, farms and livestock.

Needs:

While aid is being given to flood victims, the following is still in need:

* Wildlife            * Farm Animals            * Pets

Offers:

Rowan Panther of Caboulture has offered room in her yards and stables for flood victims in need of temporary placement of their Horses. The Facebook Post read:

From Rowan Panther : Can everyone pls copy and repost this message. It is from a friend of a friend of mine in QLD. She has available Yards Stables for people not knowing where to take their horses. She has enough rooms to take 15 to 20 horses. Located at Caboulture. Her phone
number is 0418385774 ...if anyone needs emergency.

I am not apart of the Media, so I cannot get the news out there. But, I am an avid Tweeter & Facebook User. I send all messages this way, like a chain letter - it is sent through different people and countries. So, if you would like to offer land, yards, rooms or anything else, please post a comment after this post - I & Friends will get the word out there.

(This Post is still to be edited, am hoping to find links & phone numbers of assistance). 

If you'd like to make a donation or volunteer, please check QLD Floods, Donations, Goods & Services for phone numbers and links.
