good morning, GM-lawyers.

 

simple question lang po:

can a supermarket compel you to produce

a receipt of goods bought before you

exit their premises?

 

na-hassle lang ako kanina after buying

from SaveMore. the receipt was inside my

wallet which was inside my bag.

needless to say, it was quite a hassle

to get it out.

 

i read somewhere WalMart (US) had a

similar practice and consumers protested

against it.

 

tia!

You may also visit LTFRB and file a formal complaint against the driver and operator

 

LTFRB will summon them and they will be meted with suspensions for at least 2 months up to 6 months

 

in this way mapapaaga ang areglo nila ... imagine no income for 2 months, impound vehicle

 

bring your police report

hi sirs...i had a motorcyle accident last january with a taxi cab. it was established in the police report that it was the cab's fault becuase he counterflowed o my direction. Pero naawa ako sa taxi driver dahil mahirap ang buhay and he assisted me also papuntang hospital.

 

hi promised me to pay for the damages,but nakiusap syang kung pwedeng hulugan monthly nlng ang pagbayad at least P500, dahil ayaw syang tulungan ng operator nya...gusto pa nga syang sisantehin dahil daw dun sa aksidente.

 

my problem is..though he gave all his contact info including his address, nataguan na ata ako kse inde na sya macontact, at yung promise na nya idaan skin ang hulog (na mukha imposible nga) ay malabo na. ano kya mga sirs ang pwede kong legal move dito? can i also sue the operator?

Another alternative would be to go to your local civil registrar and have it corrected. There is a process where if the error is clearly just clerical, it can be corrected by mere affidavit.

 

 

I also thought this was another option but when I checked the law on administrative correction, it states: "Provided, however, That no correction must involve the change of nationality, age, status or sex of the petitioner."(sec. 2)

I'm not aware of any law which prohibits this but I think it would be easy for supermarkets to justify this by saying that it's a reasonable safety measure to deter shoplifting.

thanks, master.

i guess what pisses me off with this practice

is that it smacks of profiling (parang sa Arizona ).

 

i don't see them doing it sa mga naka-posturera na shoppers

pero sa mga naka-pambahay lang na nagsa-shop sa kanila, eh,

may discrimination sila.

Re: Bad debt.

 

Sir,

 

Trading company po kami. Ano po ba ang proper procedure sa pag collect ng overdue account from our client? Should I write them a demand letter or what? If so,

how do I write one? How about kung nag babayad po ng hulog-hulogan, but that was not the agreed terms, can I also write them a demand letter? What shall I do

with all these bad debts. Kindly advise.

Do you have any written agreement or receipt to show that you are the real owner of the car? If you have proof, I suggest you file a criminal case for Estafa as leverage. To get the car back, I suggest a civil suit for Replevin. To file a criminal complaint for Estafa, have your lawyer draft an affidavit complaint for filing at the Fiscal's Office. To file a civil complaint for Replevin, have your lawyer draft the complaint for filing in court.

If he admits it before the Barangay and signs the minutes of the hearing, then you can use it. Good luck.

Hehe, I know how that feels. Sometimes I do my shopping in t-shirts, shorts, and sandals. About 1 out of 5 times, I get checked for my receipts. Actually, I don't mind since I know they're just doing their job, but you're right, I don't see guards doing that with "dressed up" customers.

You should write a demand letter unless your contract states that no demand letter is needed. If your client is paying in installments and it's not the agreed terms (and you're not ok with it) then I suggest you refuse to accept the installments and demand compliance with the terms. Depending on your contract, acceptance of partial payments could be used as a defense against you if ever you file a collection suit.

Check the account opening form you filled up when you opened your account. There may be a provision there on what to do when there is conflict between co-depositors. You may also call the branch and explain your situation. Each bank has its own internal policy and it's best to get the answer straight from your bank.

 

Word of advice: If it's a joint OR account, she can withdraw without you since she has a passbook unless the bank accepts requests to prevent a co-depositor from withdrawing.
