"This is a bit of a... a poof song"
Oh man got home from a weekend away to find a letter from a debt collection agency, relating to a plumbing firm I used (and fully paid) in May 2021. Just spent the last hour digging through my old bank statements to find the proof, which was a nice bit of stressful fun.

I'm absolutely certain I don't owe this company money, but I don't even want to enter their lovely ecosystem and talk to anyone in case they somehow use that as proof that I am somehow liable for the nearly £450 they say i owe.

Happy fathers day to me!

lovely situation, but its best to sort it out asap.
Otherwise they will take it to court, win as you no show, and slap on another few hundred for the costs.

seconding speak to a financial advisor and don't respond to the firm until you do, there are proper ways to respond- debt collectors are among the scum of the earth, be wary


I mean personally when bt tried to gently caress me over for unpaid services that they didn't provide I just kept laughing at how many letters were sent out by however many different debt collection places it got passed to over the years and it never affected me one bit but that's not solid advice I just like telling that story

Today's partygate news is like a scene from the modern version of Yes Minister:

""Thank goodness that BoJo didn't fight the Partygate findings. That means we can finally move on. Every day that story goes on is one day less we have to turn around the situation and lessens the chance we'll remain in power, and thus, in relevancy after the next election. So, what we're going to do is..

(office door opens) Sir? Today's paper. (Camera zooms in on headline "New Partygate pictures show more people lied about party, people demand investigation reopened)

(beat.. speaker's head drops.

Chat GPT thirsting for Revolution


In the realm of politics, oh what a sight,
A Tory lockdown drinking video took flight.
The papers were buzzing, the story was grand,
A comedic tale, spreading across the land.

A gathering of lawmakers, full of cheer,
Raising their glasses, saying, “No need to fear!”
But alas, their merriment didn’t quite abide,
For the public’s response was a rollercoaster ride.

The headlines screamed, “Politicians on a spree!”
As the video circulated, for all to see.
They clinked their glasses, oh, what a show,
While constituents faced restrictions and woe.

“Cheers to lockdown!” they laughed with glee,
While the rest of us yearned for a pint or three.
In homes we remained, following the rules,
As they frolicked and joked, like jesters and fools.

But in the midst of laughter, a lesson was found,
That those in power must be truly renowned.
For when they forget their duty and plight,
The people will rise, their voices ignite.

Oh, politicians, take heed of this tale,
Remember your role, in democracy’s trail.
Serve with integrity, lead with grace,
For the people you represent, their hopes you embrace.

So let us laugh at this folly, this brief escapade,
As politicians stumble in their lockdown charade.
But may it be a reminder, both stern and true,
That in times of crisis, our trust lies with you.

Another broken pledge - this one lasted 3 weeks.Ed: Apparently it was announced as a policy in January so that's 5.5 months not 3 weeks. That's the lifespan of the universe for a policy in Starmer World.

I remember dealing with a similar thing years ago. IIRC the burden of proof is on them to link the debt to you; you'll want to search around and check the details yourself of course but I remember I wrote a letter that basically boiled down to 1) Provide me with proof I owe this debt, and 2) This letter does not constitute acceptance of the responsibility of the debt. Never heard from them again.

I'm getting the impression that every announced Labour policy prompts a furious phone call from a capitalist, followed by a few weeks of silence then a very quiet killing of the policy. It's farcical.

- teachers must inform parents if child questions gender, even if child asks them not to, regardless of reason
- teachers 'ordered not to recognize transition' if parents object
- heads can still order transition not be recognized of it will have 'mental effect' on other pupils (???)
- if transition is recognized, anyone at school who doesn't want to acknowledge it is free to continue using the kid's deadname and pronoun, even if they beg them not to

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

I am not an expert, but wouldn't this smack straight into the school's statutory duty to safeguard their pupils? What if the school reasonably believes that the child would come to harm if the parents were informed?

I don't want to sound cynical, but I'm not entirely sure this has been properly thought through!

"This is a bit of a... a poof song"
Thanks for the advice re debt collectors, all. I've sent them an email from an old non-identifiable email address telling them that I don't owe them any money, and that they'll either have to prove me wrong or not contact me again (but in slightly less blunt terms), so hopefully that's that, and I can get back to lurking by the fridge and shoving my face full of Camraths fudge.

The chunky chocolate and honeycomb one is obscenely good. Like, the entire bag went in a single day.
