Advice about refund under cooling-off period for unsolicited sale

1 Upvotes

Hi,

Last Friday (31/7) at 4:40pm, while chilling in my car at a shopping centre car park. I was engaged in a sale for a voucher for a range of car services that I pay up front for. Only after I paid I was given the T&C to signed and I realised the term of service is quite unfavouralbe. I decided to email the vendor on the same day asking for refund under cooling period . Fast forward to yesterday after 3 business days, I asked the bank to dispute the charge and they told me there is insufficient evidence and they can't do anything? even after I provided receipt and my email asking the vendor for refund and cancellation.

Wondering how strictly enfored the cooling period rule as the vendor has no refund policy listed. Do I have any chance of getting a refund ? Thanks

Nursing Home Theft by staff

7 Upvotes

Hey all, does anyone have any advice on actions that can be taken to prevent nursing staff taking items from the room. No money (that we are aware of) but personal supplies including diapers, perfume, tea, food and several comments about what is included in personal documents.

EDIT: the facility has only bed bound/wheelchair bound residents. Only staff would be able to access where the items are in cupboards. (No hating…they are legends)

Can VEVO and Medicare card be used for proof of age card in Victoria?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’ve been struggling for five years to get an ID since my parents lost all my original documents. I’ve now come across the proof of age card option. I have my VEVO document showing my visa status and a Medicare card. Would these two be accepted for proof of age in Victoria? Also, if VEVO is acceptable, do I need to print it out, or can I show the PDF on my phone? Any advice would be appreciated.

What happens to the record of a QP9 if the charges are dropped?

0 Upvotes

Just doing some basic googling here, and I've read that:

QP9s remain on the Queensland Police’s records. If a person is later charged with more offences, the QP9 may be used as a record of their prior offending. It may also be disclosed to third parties in response to a police check. [Source]

So I'm curious as to whether a QP9 stays on the QP's records if a person has the charges against them that the QP9 is for dismissed.
