roofing scam

Mick from Glenview

Just a word of warning. I got home to find a quote on my doorstep from a sales rep for Edwards & Hardy by the name of ( not allowed to tell you )Telling me that I have lichen and moss growing on my "Tile Roof " that is going to cause rust. He will fix it for $395. Just a couple of problems here.
1... I don't have a tile roof
2.... I was on my steel roof over the Christmas break and I saw no moss or lichen.
3... His company tell me that there reps are not allowed to use ladders so how did he check my roof?
So be warned ,If this guy knocks on your door send him away
Just because he works for a well known company does not make him an honest person. I hope he does not catch out any of our older family so please warn them.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
