Need to VENT

Checked my bank account tonight.

$1704 removed today from my CBA Account

NSW STATE RECOVERY

Why am I spittin chips and feel mad as hell and helpless.

I have no unpaid fines, I haven't been physically booked, no red cameras NOT even a friggin J walking notice.

It's been 5yrs since I got my last speeding fine in Canberra and paid it the same week. ($200 or so dollars)

I've received absolutely NO infringement notices, no court orders or debt recovery letters.

My address is on my license and has always been correct.

If I had done something worth a fine that hefty I'd know about it. Surely. That amount would be a hell of a speed and loss of license.

No one drives my cars but me. It's been about 7yrs since anyone has driven any of my cars.

I don't go interstate often and I certainly don't go more than 10-15 over the limit (99.99% of the time)

Now my hard earned cash is gone I am going to have to spend my effort and likely money to follow this up through the courts.

Innocent until found guilty or guilty till found innocent? So now I have to prove I'm innocent rather than they prove I did something wrong ?

I rang the bank immediately thinking the CBA had been scammed.

They said a garnish order had been presented and they transferred the $1704 to the NSW STATE RECOVERY office.

Side note. Closing account in the morning !!

HOW THE FARK CAN SOMEONE BALLS UP SO BADLY THAT THIS HAPPENS !

Any lawyers want to do a pro bono ?

Any one in the Media and need a slow news day story ?

I have emailed the NSW SRO through their website disputing the enforcement notice and asking for the Incident and evidence.

I don't hold out much hope without spending a heap on legal :(

Feel so powerless but would like to rip heads off.

That's most unusual Richard that you don't even know what it's in relation to? Once you procure all relevant information ACA might see this as a worthy rescue mission.

Meanwhile I'll PM you two SAU Members who are lawyers. And if you belong to NRMA Insurance, don't they have free lawyer advice or is that only in relation to a claim? This is distressing.

Thanks Terry. PM received.

$1700 dollar offence is something one would remember. Like a police chase or even 200kmph but not caught.

It's obviously gone through the court system to obtain a garnishee order and obtain my bank details.

Now that would require a huge amount of paperwork sent to the offender over a lengthy period of time.

and yet nothing received so unable to dispute :rant:

Jesus Richard sorry to hear that. Let me know if you need my shin breaking abilities.

I wouldn't have thought taking money like that is even nearly legal without prior knowledge of the incident????

Makes one wonder about ID theft. And if that's the case Richard, there may be more.

SDRO should have relevant info based on Reference Number which you're checking through anyway.

A Garnishee Order is a big deal and usually a last resort to claim finds via the Court process.

I suggest your first step would be to obtain the services of a solicitor and let him take it from there.

His fees and any associated costs would be presented to those who obtained the Garnishee Order apparently using incorrect info.

A year ago i received my tax return letter in the post and instead of the modest credit i was expecting it was a bill for $20000!!! After spending a Sh*tload of my time and some of my hard earned, i finally got it cleared. but it was definitely a case of guilty until proved innocent (by own hard work) and then when i had finally succeeded in sorting it out there is no apology or any kind of admittance of incompetence.

Good luck sorting it out!

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
