    Could give it direct to landlord? Ring him, confirm the situation and then give to him if you are generous enough to do that.

    I'm the landlord, pm me for bank details folks.

    I would let Sammy off the deposit for a few weeks but my dog ate my granny who was holding my life savings at the time and now I've to pay for the funeral.

    Anyone know any vulture funds?

    And only 4 of the 5 pics are on the gumtree advert

    Conveniently leaving out the one with a name on


  • Registered Users Posts: 85 ✭✭Sammyy24


    And it went up 6 days ago. :rolleyes:

    Because the money was taken last week and that's when I moved in......

    Okay, I genuinely don't care what any of you think, I don't want money from anyone on here, I have said it I don't know how many times now. I have come here to ask for advice for fast cash loans, payday lenders and so on.

    I was an idiot by helping someone like that and if you really want to know, I did have money, not much but was comfortable and yes, it has all gone by trying to and I guess enabling someone with a serious addiction.

    And not that it is anyone's business but my father is a recovering alcoholic, he had a stroke a few months back and is recovering, while getting sober. He was sober for 10 years and relapsed and the reason I only said medical expenses is because it is embarrassing and no one else's business.

    Yes the done deal is my exs account, I am selling it there. I don't want anything from anyone, just advice about payday lenders


    I believe you. Like you said you don't want money, just advice.

    I've listed a half decent one twice and no response to those posts.

    And you said your name was on the log book. So, no matter what you say that's a definite lie.

    OP you don't owe anyone on here anything..... Please don't feel obliged to give out any more personal information. They're all just bored and looking for something to do.....

    As is your full name, mobile phone number etc are too available.

    Sorry to hear of your problems - The bit that depresses me is your car looks like its worth a lot more to you than the crappy €450 you'd get by selling it.

    The amount of judgemental pricks in here is staggering.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,556 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    I agree with the above, I think you should give up on this now. You've got no actual advice since about page 2, and are disclosing more and more personal info that is really nobody's business.

    Best of luck.

    Why would the golf be in your bfs name? And how do you plan on selling it in his name?? Fake moustache??

    Just goes the show, you can fool some of the people all the time...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,980 ✭✭✭minikin


    If the Golf is in your boyfriend's name is it a good idea to sell it?
    Could you be accused of selling stolen goods?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 644 ✭✭✭Dice75


    Stick the 1k EW on Liars Corner in the 5.20 at Gowran Park. Should sort out your problems. PP going 4 places.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 591 ✭✭✭claregal1


    Hi OP don't have any advice in relation to loan sharks - I would advise you to talk to your landlord. Also if you get your wages paid into a bank account , with AIB you can apply for a loan online and get it within an hour or so .
    I hope it all works out for you

    She'd have 2k in that case already.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 693 ✭✭✭The Satanist


    So, his car was in your name, which you sold, and your car is in his name, and you can set up a Facebook account just to share a GoFundMe, even though you won't have any friends and it will be an obvious scam.....BUT you somehow use your gambler ex's donedeal account which he will be getting updates from? Okay

    I suppose it’s one way for you to pass a wet day.

    I bothered to comment because your story has a fair few contradictions in it.

    I'm not sure what your angle is here but the skeptic in me doesn't like it.

    Post up the link to the goFundMe page to quell my skepticism.

    I’m a skeptical prick at the best of times but I believe you.
    So I mean it that this comes from a good place when I say stop looking for €1,000 from loan scum.
    It’s a one way road into hell for you.
    You are at risk of homelessness. Don’t sell your car. It’s rent free to sleep in if it comes to it.

    Thank you, I have it up anyway, I'm hoping his uncle will be able to help out and then when the car sells I'll be able to start making a dent in things

    How do you plan to sell a car that is not in your name? Are you going to forge the signature?


  • Registered Users Posts: 85 ✭✭Sammyy24


    To everyone positing their advice and well wishes, thanks so much, it means alot.

    To the rest of you who obviously have nothing better to do than troll someone asking for advice, I hope none of you experience something like this.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 198 ✭✭uchimata83

    Finished 2nd would have around 5k now if she took his advice

    I believe what you are saying, put pressure on his family to stump up, try not sell the car


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,580 ✭✭✭JDD


    OP, if you really want guidance on moneylenders, there is a list of regulated money lenders on the Central Bank website. You can check and compare APRs, which are all obviously fantastically high, but if you are determined to go this route, at least go to a moneylender who is regulated and won't break your legs.

    That happens more than you think, anyway the name on the book is only the registered keeper not the owner

    I was going to check the price until I spotted the name "Liars Corner" and thought to myself that the tip was just a wind up...

    500e/w place at 16/1 wouldn't have got 5k, but the rent would have been paid.

    Talk to MABS before resorting to a loan shark.

    Yes and forging someone's signature is fraud, if this is real then they could end up in far more bother


  • Registered Users Posts: 85 ✭✭Sammyy24

    Thank you, I appreciate that. I'm going to ring his uncle now and speak with his mother again, see what they can do to help. I really don't want to sell but will if I have to.

    Thank you! I'm going to have a look at it now


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,005 ✭✭✭BDI


    How are the mods actually allowing this ****.


    It took a basic catfish google image of the ad for the car to show that some fella called Adam is also selling this car.

    She/Adam then claims they are using Adams old donedeal account to sell the car. You never said Adam was a car dealer who left you nothing but his car account.

    Then a person who probably read a page posts how the people doubting her are a holes and eight people thank it.


    Bizarre.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,005 ✭✭✭BDI


    And if Adam is a car dealer why did you buy him a car in your name?

    A random guess based on the name of the horse? Or are you actually clued in.. your name suggests you know what you're talking about... hmm.. think I might have to keep a close eye on your good self.. :)

    Adam is my ex, he's not a car dealer, I'm selling the car not him, he's god knows where after putting me royally in it.

    I don't understand people like you, you know I've had 3 messages from people already asking to help and I've refused? All I'm looking for is advice. I don't want anyone's money, just advice.

    Like that guy who told be about the site that let's you see all the different payday lenders, that's all I'm looking for. Jog on

    The car is in "Mr. Adam"'s name, the donedeal account is "Adam" too. You say it's your everyday car, yet his car, which you claim that you bought for him, was in your name before you sold that.

    Lots of pieces of your story don't add up.

    So to recap, your father, brother, close friends, friends, extended family and all your co workers won't help you sort this out. Not to mention the bank won't touch you or your rich friend.

    Well, what does that say about you or this story

    My brother and father already helped me out, or was their money that was taken. My workplace gave me a 500 euro advance, my coworkers either live in rented accom or have families and my friend unfortunately won't help.

    As for the banks, no they won't help due to the gambling on the account. Yes I'm an idiot for enabling someone with an addiction, but I also tried to help them with meetings,counselling and just being there for them.

    What does it say about you? Coming onto a thread where someone is only looking for advice and picking them apart like this?
