well i called, uob 3 times, mainly all 3 times they say cannot
cancel the only solution they offered like many of the replies
here, is to cancel the card. i called starhub, twice, same thing,
Uob did transfered 1 of my calls elsewhere but its still the
same..
the problem is i cannot cancel the payment because the starhub
account does not belong to me..
being pissed off, i email something similar to the first post on
this thread, uob did not reply yet, starhub, said they would
contact my ex and trash the problem out with her, i did however
suggested in the reply email that, i am the main card holder and i
should be given the proper rights, we'll see how starhub reply to
that , bcos as most of the replies on this board suggested, the
final resolution is for me to cancel the card and be done with
it...
i agree with some people that thats the best possible way to
resolve the matter, but these people do not take into consideration
that i'm in australia living off the same card, that cutting it off
would limit my expenditure, lol a good thing, but i use to pay
for food, trips and books, i can get it reinstated, but
consider this
my mom hasnt had the time to bank in money for me to spend via
telegraphic transfer, and she is well not excatly illiterate, for
somone her age and statue she doing pretty well, but she did not
finish secondary school, going thru an supplmentary card
application all over again, is gonna be troublesome, atleast for
her, not impossible, but very tedious, so it probably take a month
atleast.. if thats the case, what am i supposed to eat ?
my mom was also under the impression that i have funds here, but
since the divorce case, and the agreed payment i had to pay my ex,
it took most of my funds away, i only have enough for 2 weeks of
supply at the moment..
i still have yet to find a job, if i had a job all this would be
different, finding a job may not be too difficult but given im not
a resident and my visa only allows 20 hours, not a heck lot of
companies want to hire me...
hence that is why i am so reluctant to cancel my card...
When you are in a funk, you feel the whole world closing in on
you.
No one else is gonna show sympathy if you keep it all within
yourself. When exposed to light, the ego will destroy whatever
dignity you sought to keep.
We all live and learn.. your situation is indeed dire. But since
your survival is so dependent on this sole credit card, it is best
to let matter rest until you are back to settle in person.
A monthly charge may be insignificant to others, but a person in
your situation will find it a huge annoyance or a ...
distraction... hence this hissy fit you throw.
Distance do make a small daily fix almost impossible... I know..
I've been there...
Relax and finish what you set out to accomplish in a foreign
land. This little mis-adventure should not detract you from your
final goal.
If you let this little set back your ex pits against you be the
reason for your failure... then it is only to her delight.
Let it go brother.. this is nothing.. compared to what you can
accomplish much later....
Peace~
