Padge Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 A local Dominoe's Pizza place is telling kids they must come into work even if someone in the household is showing symptoms.

Derwent Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I've seen a letter sent to subcontractors by a major main contractor construction firm threatening them with withholding of monies owed and also the imposing of penalty clauses and potential legal action if they either withdraw their labour off sites and/or do not keep to the programmed schedule. 2 I’m not prejudiced, I hate everybody equally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ackroman Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Banks for demanding personal guarantees for emergency loans, HSBC and Barclays being examples. When the government are guaranteeing 80%,of the loan they are clearly a bunch of thieves, particularly when they are offering eye watering interest rates of 22%.

Where have you seen those interest rates? The scheme is set at much lower rates so they must be for something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiltshire Warrior Dragon Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 In many ways, the high profile villains are, to state the obvious, easy to spot. I suspect that there may be some lower profile ones too. I pay a set amount each month for a dental plan. Today, the dentist phoned to say that my next routine check up has been postponed for the time being. I understand; I don't have a problem with that. I had to phone my home care scheme at the weekend as I had a slight leak in a tap on the outside wall of the house (so costing me a bit in water and wasting water too) When I honestly described the problem, I was told that, because of the current situation, nobody could attend; it wasn't a major emergency, they said, which is true. I also took the chance to double check on my annual gas boiler service; no, sorry, they were in abeyance too. Again, I have no problem with any of this. However, when it comes to next month's regular payment, how much will each of these contractors expect? Serious answers only, please...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think otherwise you are mistaken The CBILS was only launched this week so that might be your answer.

Theres plenty of politicians decrying the fact banks are demanding personal guarantees to get access to cash. I don't see what's erroneous, its banks being banks.

yanto Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Sykes Cottages.. I have ten people booked into a cottage in the lakes for four nights in April. Well by the UK lockdown this is now against the rules. Only offering no fee to rebook later in the year but they seem to have pushed their prices up. Plus travelling from Holland we are unsure when we can all get together. KLM have given us travel vouchers for up to twelve months. Arnold Clark already returned the car hire fees in full but Sykes Cottages won't budge on over 1000 euro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnold Clark already returned the car hire fees in full but Sykes Cottages won't budge on over 1000 euro This can work both ways. I'm an Airbnb host, and have lost around £2k of bookings so far. Fortunately this is only an additional income, not my main one. Airbnb policy has been to allow cancellation and 100% refund to guests irrespective of booking criteria , within a narrow window of dates, but that has meant hosts having their cancellation policy ignored and thus them out of pocket. It is what it is to me, but for those making a living from hosting, it's had their pants well and truly pulled down.

It is what it is to me, but for those making a living from hosting, it's had their pants well and truly pulled down. Totally understand but it's unprecedented times. We are in fact banned from travelling and gathering as a group,completely out of our hands. In Sykes case everyone else, host agency, continues to make money and the customers pay? Are Companies like this it getting government assistance?? Are Airbnb hosts also not allowed to claim for loss of income as small buiseness / self employed? Reading up there are a lot of very angry people out there who feel they are being ripped off. Even though we never took it out I am unsure if their travel insurance would even cover something of this nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Simon Calder yesterday....as the airlines are in such dire straits, shortly there may be a relaxing of the laws around refunds, and vouchers will become acceptable Will take one major country to allow this for the dam to break. Get in quickly for the proper cash refunds before the vouchers come in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
