consumer battle, I've been in a David Goliath battle. Have

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Paid money to the table. Okay, So March I, my
friend was over from Belgium and we went on did
the tong area crossing, did a little kind of a
coramand or did.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
A big road?
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Remember this and part of that was driving the rental
car through the Eastern toll.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Road and toad on it.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Yeah, yeah, beautiful road flat. Oh it's beautiful like that.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I will say last time I drove down it. It
could do. And then this just speaks the roads around
the entire country. It could do.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
With the weedspray, Oh, I don't notice. I just noticed
people wattle, wattle shade. Oh yeah, I noticed weeds everywhere.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I don't notice.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
I don't notice them, and it sounds like a burden
to notice.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
It breaks my heart.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah, there's everywhere I remember in primary school there was
that old man's beard must go and then made us
go and take scissors and.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Cut it all down. Yep, yep, Well that what your
gloves some when you were coming this No man's beard
wasn't wasn't toxic to the touch and just strangled trees
got Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Whereas your wioly night shade, which is everywhere very dangerous
to touch, which it's called the espesos of the planet.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Was that the thing that sent me a blaze over
the summer?
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Maybe that and you were changing the fiberglass insulation in
your neckers that I remember it got into your teddies. Yeah,
that's rights, a lot of it, chang. I will say
that I did not notice at the time the weeds.
But a lovely toll road and two dollars thirty to
drive on this toll road.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Wow, happy, happy to pay?
Speaker 3 (02:00):
No that I'm happy to pay that. It's a bloody
nice road. And they paid that road off here because
this is what tot wrong or in New Zealand does Well,
I know they built a bridge and they're like, we're
going to check a toll road on until we've paid
it off.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
They paid it off. They took down the toll.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Yeah like that, I'm all for that. Well, anyway, I
jump online or actually my friend. I gave my friend
my phone while I was driving and said, can you
just go to the website pay for it?
Speaker 1 (02:21):
The guy like he strapped for cash making someone pay.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
With my card. I said, because my cards saved, you
owe me half this toll.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
No, I was just.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
I was just like, can you just do it now,
because otherwise I'll forget. And so he paid for the toll,
put the plate into the rental car, my credit card
two dollars city paid Forget about it, Sure, forget about.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
It obviously talking about it until two.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Weeks ago when I got an email from n z TA,
the toll people, saying your toll has been unused and
because it's been three months, your due a refund. And
I was like, no, no, no, no, no no. I
paid that toll for using the road in a rental car.
In a rental car, Fuck, what's gonna what?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Did you get a number plate wrong? No?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
I checked, I checked number plate.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Right, because Belgian friend might have been like, oh.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
No, I was like, oh, the fucking Belgium, Yeah, the Belgian,
the Belgium, Belgium, biscuits, great biscuits. But Belgium are they
good with paying tolls online? Well, so I looked at
the receipt, I was like, the plate's fine. I checked
the rental car thing. I was like, okay, well I'll
just park this and to the side. And sure enough,
two days later, I get an email from the rental
(03:35):
car company saying you you didn't pay your fee. I'll
get out you didn't pay your fee, so we're going
to charge you the fee plus an admin ah pass
off And I'm like, but I paid it. So what happened? Well,
so I rang them and they're like, you didn't pay it,
(03:56):
and I'm like, I did pay it your credit card.
I sent them the email and they replying back, I
don't know where the call center is. I will say
it somewhere overseas and the n ZTA course the rental
car company. So and so they emailed me back saying
you're gonna have to take this up with with the
transport n c t A. So I ring them up
(04:16):
for two dollars for two and at this stage I'm like,
is this worth my time? But no, But I'm worried
that because when you sign the rental car agreement. You
get a toll, you pay the toll plus a sixty
dollar fee. So I'm like, I don't want to pay
that sixty dollars. There's no way on earth because I've
paid this toll. So ring up n Z t A
and I'm like, hey, here's the license plate. He's like, oh, okay,
(04:39):
your time worth at this point, by the way, so
far two dollars thirty. And so I ring the guy
and he's like, oh, yeah, so I see why that
hasn't gone through because somebody has an account on that
license plate. Oh the automatic yeah, and automatic, and our
plate is registered and so when we drove through tolls
(05:00):
just takes it from our car and then just automatically.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Because it's our car. Why bringtle have that.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
You know? And there So I said to him, I
was like, who, what's the account? He's like, the rental
car company's account, So do you owe them money? And
I'm like weird? And so then I messaged them and
call them and they're like, no, we don't have an
account on that car.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Oh God, take accountability like fuck's sake.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
And then so yeah, I'm just I'm I just emailed
the MAC and they're like, no, take it up with them,
and I'm like, oh, I just fucking give up. And
so then they take two lots of two dollars thirty
off my credit card, but no sixty dollar fee. Okay,
well that's they charged me twice for the instead of one.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
And I've been said there thinking that you're an asshole
trying to pull the wool over their eyes.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yeah, and so now I'm like, I think I'm just
letting this go and it's a loss. But if I
paid the sixty dollars shambles fee, I would have been
so shaty.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Look, tootle is thirty? You got any coins on chippin?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
I'm down two dollars thirty. On the way to work
today there was the traffic lights asking for coins. I
didn't have any for him to entrepreneurial. He's made a
little sign, right, and I felt bad for my said
I'm down two dollars thirty yep, are you all right?
