Money and a few other things (long)

Here is my situation. Approx 6 months ago I lost my drivers license. This made me lose my job. So no license no job. Also I live out in the country. I get it back on the 13th this month. I am in debt because of the loss of job. $700 something. I put a number of things up on TradeMe (similar site to ebay but based in NZ) and sold a few things. I then have a small bit of income from this BUT all of a sudden I could not log on to the banking website. So… I rang the number they said to call and they said because I was in debt they needed $75 per week minimum to keep the bank from bringing in BayCorp (a debt collection agency). Now the only things I own are 2 motorcycles. Both have outstanding WOF’s and REGO’s because of loss of job so I don’t even know if they can take them or what the story is there. Basically my bikes are my life. Have done racing and want to study to be a motorcycle mechanic. Starts in Jan or Feb though. So at the moment I am not doig anything, no study no work. I have asked the bank to let them hear me out on my situation but they said unless you can get $75 per week it is inevitable that Baycorp shall come. They cant even give me back my internet banking back to see if TradeMe people have paid!!! So, being out in the country (ish) and with no license no money how can I make money via CASH??? I would need cash because if a job wants me to give them bank details I won’t have money for fuel for when I get license back. And then I wont be able to get there. My mum doesn’t earn enough to help me it’s already tight as it is so I can’t turn to family for help and all my friends are poor students. My plan is to get a job ASAP once I have license back I literally go doorknocking for hours on end. Each and every day until I have a job. Bank wasnt clear exactly when Baycorp will come but the lady on the phone gave the impression that it should be paid before I get license back or I would be too late and my bikes will be gone. I have been walking and the only business around was a dairy but they said they didn’t need any more people.

And then my lifes ambition will be to bring down Baycorp. And National Bank.

Can anybody give me any suggestions?

Answer #1

if a repo agency can’t find what they want to reposess, they can’t do anything about it, they can try to take you to court, but in the time that would take you’d probably have your license back and be able to pay it all off

Answer #2

Can’t do courier work as no license but good thought!

Would hiding the bikes be legal? Could they actually do anything about it?

Good thoughts though thanks guys. Really really am not going to give up my bikes I’d rather be arrested lol! (Oh uh… can they arrest ya?)

Answer #3

Get a bicycle.

Go to the city and do courier work.

It happens in other parts of the world and (no joke) the people that hire you prefer not to have motorcyclists. There are fewer restrictions out on the road. No problems with insurance and no fuel expenses claims. I am not talking third world either but regular town and city big business

If your city is a long way off then cycle to the train station and put the bike in the goods van. I have done it..

Good luck… and fer gawd’s sake drive on the left !

Answer #4

there’s always hiding your motorcycles, they can’t reposess what they can’t find
