Default Re: What made you feel good today?

back early February I purchased another S/H 6x4 trailer, it need a bit of welding done so a trip to the engineering worshop at the local prison. Good bunch of guys.

Anyway last Friday I get a letter invoice asking for payment through sharedservices SA not Service SA

the following is my email reply to their letter/invoice/statement


dear who ever,

congratulations on showing true wisdom. care and intelligence that we have come to expect from government departments.

30/04/2024
you posted an invoice to me.
Inv xxxxx changed for privacy
Cust. ID xxxxxxx

how am I supposed to pay this on line? no details, no nothing.

I did try your ph line this morning at 9:05am I was told I was 2nd in line but after waiting 30 minutes I gavr up. i left my name & number bit 2 hours layer i guess that got lost in the frenetic business that public servants create for themselves.

I came to the conclusion that....
1. you were all in extended staff meeting.
2. Somehow rostered days off all fell together (today).
3. Coffee was more important than your clients.
4. being public servants you just couldn't really care, somebody will get to this sometime.

it is also interesting to note the invoice date for a job done in February.

So if it's not too much trouble could you please provide details on how I am supposed to pay this online.
I am not waiting in line on phone calls to pay, Id sgudder to yhink what would happen to my card details, nor do Service SA accept payments to you.

I will keep you informed of their reply or of a visit from Mr plod

Proving a will had been altered, contesting the 2 years past probate and winning.

I did that years ago. In the interim legal fee's are very steep, but the outcome more then covered that.

In my case i won.




Anyhows i got my etag statement today and there were 3 charges with added no tag fees for trips i did not make. So anyhows, with linkt the option is their virtual chat thing which typically is a massive pain in the hole. Anyhows i got put onto a person, got asked my etag account info, dones that then said my plates were white writing on black plates. Got told the photos will be reviewed thinking this would take up my afternoon. Nah, 30 seconds later they came back saying the interpretation of the photos was wrong and i will be reimbursed in 24 hours. So that wasnt as painful as i was expecting. Another win for having old school number plates.
