Ugh only got 4 hours of sleep from stress, did not pick up car last night due to poor communication from them around payment methods. Got in a really foul mood and threw aside my people-pleasing tendencies to let the seller know how disappointed I was that they wasted so much of my time after already having spent so much time on this and giving them a frankly better price than they deserve. Fuck it, I knew it made them uncomfortable and I dug in because I'm tired of always being the one copping it.
Thankfully the husband at least gave me a ride all the way home and I found a friend who's kind enough to drive me back down tonight. I cannot wait for this saga to be over!!!!
Is it still worth picking up after all you had to go through?
It's too far gone now as I had paid a fair bit for a pre purchase inspection and don't have the time and energy to follow up with other sellers who haven't got their rwc and whatnot organised yet. My brain can't handle any more stress 😭
At least I can finally confirm I'm starting my second job next Monday. Things have been alarmingly tight after losing 5 days worth of pay thanks to my current employer dragging their heels on authorising additional work 😒
I hope whoever you’re buying from gets their shit sorted so you don’t have to wait any longer.
It’ll ok, it’ll be done and done soon enough.
Damn. How did you end up losing 5 days of work? Was it days you were already working before the change?
Well at this point it's really the bank that needs to get their shit sorted as for some reason 2x large payments yesterday went through fine but the balance payment today has been held up for more than 12 hours and my bank can't suggest any reason why except that... it happens 🤷♀️ and might take up to 2 business days to transfer for no reason at all??? I'm so over payment systems here!! Literally sitting around refreshing my bank app to see if the payment has gone through and hoping I can still make it in time to pick it up today but that window is narrowing. Which means another day of carshare and trouble and ugh.
As for losing 5 days of work - I should say 5 days of income, I was meant to start last Thursday, but as I only got the go ahead today, new workplace has asked me to start Monday instead (Thu being a PH and not many around Fri). So thats a real bummer. I just have to suck it up and move on and make the most of what I can control
Only thing I can think of is fraud protection maybe or an odd processing quirk.
Sometimes I do wonder if they do it for shits and giggles, the one time or moments you need for transfers to happen it gets held up.
Soon as something not so legit pops up oh it’s free reign for them to dine out.
Fingers crossed that the payments you’re waiting on get processed sooner rather than later.
Oh that’s a bugger for that to happen. I’d be frustrated at that as well.
