Started with an online coach to try lose some Kgs and then put the plan on hold for a couple months due to it costing too much. Then started back again and had to cancel due to a dislocated shoulder, now ive received an email from a debt collector saying i owe over $4000

What to do?

Apologies if this doesn’t belong here. Hello, I’ve just recieved a fine for no registration and no insurance, totalling over $1100. The offence is dated 26/07/2026, but was issued 19/08/2026, and I’ve only just received it now. I have paid my rego instantly after receiving the fine (somehow just forgot to pay it earlier). However, I know that since the date of my offence, I have driven on that same road where the camera got me for no rego. My question is, will I be receiving another fine (or more) for the same offence and same amount, and am I required to pay it?

Hey i just got a wired email from my ex boss. I was working as a Working holiday visa holder in a big company which runs a camping grounds.I was a cleaner and i also got accommodations from them.

Long story short i left the company with my partner (we worked together), in May. Just today i got an email from My ex boss which he claim in it that the locker lock in our room was changed without permission. They hired a locksmith and are demanding we pay the full invoice for the call-out, replacement, and reinstatement costs. Additionally, they warned that this unauthorized alteration could negatively impact our ability to return to Australia in the future.

My partner told her in an office chat that we are looking to applay for skild worker visa in the future.

I fell like she is threatning me without any proff and just wanna hurt me because she feel stupid for paying money on a new lock.

Also I'm pretty sure pepole were living in the room we left.

I dont even remeber i had a locker in my accomudation. And i think she is making it up in order to make sure there is another proof than the fact she had to replace the lock.

And Im sure i didnt replace any lock.

My first reaction was ignoring it.

She is a very unstable woman, she once cursed my partner after they found out some room was dirty.

But now I'm a bit concernd it might affect our future.

What sould6 i do you guys?

Do you have any advice?

Should i apply to fear work?

Maybe jus t

Pay the money and keep on with my life?

Also im too poor to have a lawyer at the moment and not in the country

Thank you guys Edit We are not in Australia at the moment

I had a shoulder tendon tear at work. My claim got accepted and the insurer asked for 12 months worth of payslip to workout my payments. Out of which close to 5 Months, i was on unpaid parental leave only working the weekends. The case manager says it will have an effect on my pay. I tried telling them its an unfair way of calculating. Not sure what do do. Guidance is appreciated. Thanks

Hi Team

My contract says an employee must not…..
Engage in any Restrained Business
Operate, participate or promote a Restrained Business in any capacity or manner

The term is quite long but taking the key points Restrained business means
Any business that is the same or is similar to, or otherwise competitive with, the Employer

It seems it has cascading term 12m / 6m / 3m
Also geographic cascade of Australia / Victoria / Melbourne
(I assume they just cover all bases)

This is in Victoria how likely is it to be triggered I am working in finance role but more operational day to day of course I have some knowledge of working dynamics of the business things such as
pricing, customers etc but wouldn’t say I remember specific details. Could I move to a competitor if job offer come up in a lower level role still in finance?

Thanks

Like the person must not visit a website. If the person does, even without posting or commenting, they violate probation.

Edit: And how would they enforce it?

Hello, so long story short my landlord never lodged my bond and obviously is now ignoring me and probably has no intention of giving it back.

I already contacted NSW Fair Trading and they advised me to first give out all of the proofs I had so that they could fine them (idk if that will ever happen) but also to file a complaint via NCAT to seek individual outcome (they stole 660$ from me).

The issue is that I tried signing up but the account requires an Australian post adress, which I do not have since I've moved out of the country for weeks now and don't plan on coming back, and idk if I have any way to circumvent it and I'm scared I'll stumble on other similar issues (Australian mobile number etc ...).

So is there any way to do it ? Can foreigners abroad still can get this type of justice or should I just give up on my dollars ?

Thank you!

Ill probably get some hate on this one so sorry in advance to yall😅 Just to put it mildly I've lost 3 demerit points already but ive got another 7 demerit points coming my way😭 is that an instant license suspension or do you still get the opportunity of the 1 demerit point for a year or no license for 3months? If anyone knows plz let me know 😅 fyi this is for QLD

Hi everyone,

My partner and I have just had a child and her parents are trying to come to australia and live on a more permanent basis, they have a visa that allows them to stay 8 months of the year i think. They have some control over her bank account and I recently found out they spent about 8k of the money we were saving for a home deposit for our childs future.

The mother and father both tried to move into my place with us, this happened once before and they spent all their money on gambling (pokies) and used my partners card for everyday expenses. The mother in law got very upset when i said no this time to staying with us.

They have told my partner to dump me and threatened to cut her off from the family who she loves very much, especially her neices. My partner has moved out to her aunties with my child.

I really feel this is abusive, my partner wasnt allowed to date men until 30. Her family has gotten aggressive since and this has happened with my mother in law before with her son and his partner. Their culture is one that extracts value from their children (no pensions there) and their retirement is funded by their children.

Theres a lot more to tell but my question is, is there any way i can get some help against these parents? Any advice? Ive been a bit helpless here

So earlier it in the year I had a car accident, sold the car to the tow company afterwards (wasn’t totaled, but wasn’t worth fixing) and filled out paperwork there. They said they’d handle everything. Well I have realised that the car is still in my name online and the notice of disposal is apparently a thing I wasn’t aware of. (First car + I’m kinda stupid). What are my options? How screwed am I?

I’m in Queensland and looking for advice about an escalating situation with our neighbours.
We’ve had ongoing problems with their dogs barking excessively. Complaints have been made to council, and they’ll usually control the barking for a while, but eventually it starts up again.
Since complaints have been made, their behaviour towards us has become increasingly hostile. They’ve sent derogatory messages, yell things out when they see us and seem to deliberately try to provoke us into reacting or starting an argument.
We’ve been avoiding engaging with them because we don’t want the situation escalating into a physical confrontation.
We’re now documenting incidents, saving messages and keeping any relevant security camera footage.
At what point does this go beyond a normal neighbour dispute and become harassment or intimidation?
Would you report the behaviour to QLD Police now just to establish a record, even if no direct threats have been made?
Has anyone in Queensland dealt with something similar, and what ended up being the best way to handle it?

Are there any Hyundai Tuscon owners on here who have experienced issues associated with the FCA (currently subject to recall - https://www.vehiclerecalls.gov.au/recalls/rec-006615) on their vehicles.

Alternatively, anyone who has been successful in having a vehicle refunded?

The FCA on my car caused sudden and unnecessary braking resulting in a rear end collision. Despite Hyundai subsequently issuing a recall to prevent this exact issue from occurring, they’ve have conveniently ignored my letters to remedy the issue.

Off to QCAT now it seems
