An Open Letter to Veda

Loan Denied
Loan Denied

At the beginning of November 2013 Veda advised that they had a record of my change of address. Since I have been at the same address for more than 10 years I informed them of their error. BTW, the bank who gave the incorrect information to Veda (Bank of Melbourne, a division of Westpac) point blank refused to advise Veda of their error.

After 2 months Veda have corrected the address on their file for me. When writing to thank them I was reminded of how much they and their clients SUCK and decided to share my vitriol.

Hello Customer Relations Team:

Thank you for your reply. It’s a pity that you don’t apply the same degree of urgency to requests from poor punters as you do to requests from your credit thug clients. I’m sure that Telstra et al would not be too happy if you took over two months to reply to their requests for updates.

Well, no point in pissing into the wind – you will not make any change to your thuggery just because a mug like me complains.

Anyway, I tried to copy some text from my file to be told that I needed a password to do this. I entered the password that you supplied to be told that it was not correct.

Then I tried to print the file. Same outcome.

So, you have set a password on MY file that I do not know. Just another example of your High & Mighty attitude.

Please advise the passwords that I need to use MY information how I choose to. Preferably sometime this side of May.

BTW I, like about 20% of the people that you hold to ransom, use a Mac computer and do not have access to, and would not use even if I did, a Windoze boat anchor.

Just for the record, as both Telstra and Baycorp know, but refuse to do anything about, the Overdue account of $916 is included in the $2,362 Overdue account as Telstra sold the same disputed account twice.

Furthermore, Telstra has informed me that they have no details about the origin of either of these amounts and can provide no evidence of the supposed liability. Any attempts to garner such information is met by a simple statement, “contact Sensis” who, when contacted, say “contact Telstra”

So, I will be making no applications for credit until these false, unsubstantiated and malicious entries are removed by the passage of time.

Equally, I have blocked the phone number of Baycorp (your client) who, for 2 years, have made threatening calls to me on a regular basis and decline my offer to have the matter heard by a court of competent jurisdiction.

I can only assume that they are indeed aware that they have no supporting evidence for the claim and are hoping that I will need a loan before the 5 years is up.

Well, I had no intention of wasting my valuable time on you or the thugs you serve. But now I have spent the time I will send copies to the puppet claiming to ensure you behave ethically, and Baycorp.

All the best,

Nigel Ball

If you have ever borrowed money, or been late with paying a telco or utilities bill you should consider getting a copy of your personal credit file.

According to the Veda website you have to pay them an exorbitant fee (blackmail) of $70 to get a copy of the information that they hand out to any Tom, Dick or Harry financial thug.

But, they also have another website which is not referred to on their official site. There they set the scene of how they deal with us. They will send you a copy of your file 10 days after receiving your request. BUT, if you pay them $60 they will send it to you tomorrow! Blackmail and thuggery is an integral part of their corporate culture!

Remember this?

I stumbled across this while checking some old emails. I am embarrassed to have to admit that I had forgotten the evil recently perpetrated by the ALP against our own disadvantaged. Shouldn't be surprised by the level of evil directed at refugees should we. Our politicians from both sides do not share the smallest measure of worth between them all. If you don't have a viable independent in your electorate, informal is the only moral option. Somehow we have to tell Rudd and Abbott that they STINK.

 

Fun in Bomber Land

Shepard Fairey’s iconic Hope poster inspired this James Hird image. It also reminds me that the best part of the current footy scandal is watching the squirming of Melbourne's “finest” as they defend the indefensible and work out which mates to protect!

 

Let the Lies Begin

HungerThe political lying will now reach fever pitch and will continue for another 33 days.

The only good news is that I am in the Melbourne electorate so I actually have a choice of voting informal or for Adam Bandt (Greens).

I could not even contemplate voting for a candidate supporting the MORONIC egomaniac Rudd or equally MORONIC “thick as three planks” Abbott.

They are both equally prepared to destroy helpless refugee men, women and children to grab power.

They are both ignoring the fact that the majority of Australians do not support their redneck refugee policies.

And both are perfectly comfortable buying power from the lunatic fringe who would still support the White Australia Policy of yesteryear if only someone would put it forward.

A Pox on both your houses.

An open letter to The Hon Julia Gillard MP

Dear Prime Minister

Detention Centre
Scary People we are urged to harm

I am absolutely disgusted that a person of your obvious intelligence and strength cannot see beyond the inhumanity of completely abrogating our responsibilities to refugees.

The logical extensión of your stance is to say that, if exporting refugees to a country where we can guarantee they will be mistreated doesn’t work, we will have to sink their boats and watch them drown.

The basis of our policy should be how to help the refugees, NOT how to make the outcome of asking for help so much worse than the tyranny they are fleeing that the latter is more fun.

Shame on you, shame on your policy, shame on your Government. In this respect you, your policy and your Government are CRUEL, EMBARRASING and simply *UNAUSTRALIAN*.

I urge you to find the moral strength to ignore the voices of pathetic spin doctors reacting to the bellowing of illiterate rednecks. It simply cannot be impossible for you to implement a civilised solution to the plight of men, women and children fleeing from barbaric persecution.

If you don’t like Aussie meat … Eat vegetables

According to The Age, Ikebal Patel, president of the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils, said ”I think any individual, whether they’re Muslim or Jewish, should be allowed to have meat on their table that is in accordance with their religious beliefs.” Hey man, we don’t even have the right to swear in public, what on earth makes you think that you have the right to torture innocent creatures?


It seems that without asking our views, our State and Federal governments agree and have sanctioned legalised torture of livestock in many local abattoirs. Don’t these idiots in power understand that civilized Australians do not condone any form of brutality against any living thing?

More importantly, don’t they understand that we do not condone any barbaric behavior based on lunatic, so called religious, beliefs?

Religions which do not even give humans of the female persuasion equal rights have no place in our civilized society and we certainly do not need to make any allowances for the medieval practices of barbarians.

If you don’t like Aussie meat, eat vegetables!

Live cattle exports to Indonesia

We don't condone torturing these creatures

What is depicted in the Four Corners Program can only appall any civilised human being. It simply is not good enough to make out it isn’t happening, or hide behind some smokescreen of it’s out of our control.

My simple suggestion is “No stunning, No cattle”. If we can send troops to Afganistan to try an effect change against almost insurmountable odds, WE CAN and MUST stop this cruelty right now.

I have just completed sending the following letter to all of the Federal Politicians representing me. Please consider taking similar action. Continue reading “Live cattle exports to Indonesia”

Pathetic Parliaments

Our parliaments, and by implication, our politicians are pathetic!I have just discovered that by the *_Interactive Gambling Act 2001_* our governments have ensured that Australians can only gamble in Australian venues. In other words, the immoral collection of gambling tax has been protected.In Victoria, that’s $1.7 Billion per year. The only other taxation category which raised more money is euphemistically called “*_Land Transfer Tax_*” … in other words, Stamp Duty on property purchases. A tax which governments promised to cease after the introduction of the GST.
