From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I had something similar happen to me. I read up about what to do (I wish I could find the post) but it said to send them a letter stating the following: 1- tell them that you are being harassed and you want it to stop immediately. 2- you understand what they want (so they no longer need to contact you), 3- you are disputing the charge (you understand and are responding to the allegation) 4- if they want to pursue this further, they can take you to small claims court. 5- Tell them that you do not wish to be contacted further about this matter so any calls, mail, email or in person inquiries will be considered harassment.

After I sent a similar letter to the collections agency that was after me, I never heard anything from them again and was never taken to small claims court.

I hope this helps. Oh, and FYI my situation was in BC so the laws may be different, but this probably couldn't hurt.

Installing a call blocking app would probably help you too. Blacklist Blocker or Should I Answer are good ones that don't sell your data.

I'm not the person you asked, but have a look at something like Harvest, which is free to use to track your hours per day against a specific project and/or task and can be used to generate invoices as well. I used this at the free level for awhile before deciding to upgrade to a paid version ($12US/month) when I had more projects to track than the free version allowed. You have the choice of writing in your hours against specified tasks (which is what I do), or you can turn it on when you start a task and off when you stop, so that it tracks the actual timing.

It was only because of the comments that I realized this was legal advice and not relationship advice.

But anyway, a wise man once told me that "EVERY problem is solved with communication". I'd start there. Have the tough talk and get to the bottom of it. If you're unsure how to do that right, I read an amazing book in my undergrad about conflict resolution and communication. I recommend it to everyone: https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Conversations-Talking-Stakes-Second/dp/1469266822

It was created by a lawyer who was previously assaulted by police in transit to law class after he asserted his rights not to be carded/streetchecked.

edit - if picked up as in arrested, definitely a lawyer, you're entitled to counsel.

These are inexpensive enough to try, but the reviews are very mixed:

If you have a city water system, the inlet to your house is at least ¾" pipe for adequate flow. What's likely happened is this was formally a single family house split into four different units with more bathrooms. The lowest shower comes right off the ¾" pipe and then the other showers are sharing a ½" pipe split three ways. If the pump solution doesn't work it might be a major plumbing job to upgrade the pipes to all the bathrooms to ¾" size and that's hoping the municipal water pressure coming to your house is great enough to handle four showers at once. And if in the end this all works with good pressure you may find that everyone is running out of hot water if the tank isn't big enough, or could use a tankless heater with gas (heats it as fast as it uses it, never run out).

Get one of these in the meantime, atleast for while your home. If you can set up a surveillance inside and out, do it asap

You can also use something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/DIGITEN-Wireless-Temperature-Controlled-Thermostat/dp/B07YXQS5T1/ref=asc_df_B07YXQS5T1/?tag=googlemobshop-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=341851826762&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6695903679681311789&hvpone=&hvpt...

Hi!

Depending on where you work, you may have access to an Employee Assistance Plan (EAP).

These often have access to free counseling. This is useful for two reasons. The counseling will give you emotional support which you need, and they will have people who can advise you on your legal options.

If you don't have access to an EAP, contact a local church that might have a counselor on staff. As a pastor, I deal with situations like these regularly. People come for support and counsel when they are in trouble. Be careful with the church though. There is no standard or certification that is common across all churches. You may find exactly what you need, or you may find counsel not much different than the mixed bag of reddit advice.

On the legal side, many are suggesting that divorce is a likely outcome. I don't think that this is a foregone conclusion. Even if it is not, it is wise for you to have evidence saved for the day her mental health breaks, and she makes accusations against you. I would suggest an audio / video surveillance system that records at least a weeks worth of video/audio with timestamps.

It is specially helpful to have audio of her threats to falsely accuse you. This kind of device may be helpful

The first thing she should get is one of these necklace which instanly send a help request to the police with a longitude latitude coordinate. Like this: https://www.amazon.com/911-Help-Now-Emergency-Pendent/dp/B06W9M4BWR

Now this one is not the best, the review says you need to change the battery often.

But you can look for similar items with better rating.

The way they work is that you press the button and it call 911.

It is usually used for old people with high chance of heart attack, but you can use it for police as well.

Problem solved

Ignore it and don't worry about it.

Get a VPN, and continue on. (Torrent or not, a VPN is essential IMO)

I suggest either NORD, IPVanish, Express or PIA.

Or if you're familiar with KODI media center, run it with a few current add-ons, and pair to a real debrid account and set a local download path. No VPN required.

I have this tool:

This might be a good idea for the future.

Dunno if you would want to entertain this or not on principle, but there are products out there you could try to lessen the noise from the washing machine.

for example:

https://www.amazon.ca/VibraShield-Sumato-Stuff-Vibration-Absorbing/dp/B07THLMZ37/ref=pd_lpo_2?pd_rd_i=B07THLMZ37&psc=1

Like I said though, if you're not really down with spending $50 to try and appease a miserable old bastard, I would totally understand that too.

Yeah, this is awful. I’m sorry I have no advice, however, I have one of these. Doesn’t help for when you’re out, but might be nice to know they won’t barge in when you’re home again.

I think NordVPN is not the best one. I use ExpressVPN and it is on the expensive software side. I do check as well my ip on ipleak site. Ideally you want to use as well another company proxy server. In this case the chances of finding you would be so minimal. There are already cases where Canadians have been properly identified and served documents. So extra caution is required.

You aren't using it correctly then.

A VPN effectively tunnels you from your PC to an external VPN server. From an outside connection it looks like your IP address is that of the VPN server. All the routing info coming from Teksavvy's network is stripped away along with the VPN encapsulation.

For them to have filed a copyright claim against you with Teksavvy, they'd have to have known you were a customer, normally by seeing your IP address (which would be registered within Teksavvy's scope). This would imply that either your VPN wasn't active, there were VPN passthroughs active, or that NordVPN kept logs of who was connected to what VPN address and turned that over to the copyright claimant (unlikely they would do that without putting up a stiff legal resistance).

Ordered it many times. Very legal off amazon. You got no worries for buying. It is more the selling I am confused about. It obviously doesn’t say dont sell in balloons so its hard to say. I live in Ontario as well though and yeah amazon is the plug.

As long as your taxation is done correctly, nobody cares...specially if a private company says so (as opposed to security/clearance level work).

My advice, dont push them for details, work from anywhere, if they ask you why are you not in US, tell them you thought remote meant anywhere. If they insist that you have to be in the US, Asay ok, no problem. Download NordVPN or something, source a US ip address, and carry on working from Ibiza if you want.

If logic doesnt work because of some policy, you can do o e of two things, be an idealist a d get chewed up by be smart about work for them in exchange for money, you arent their slave.

Source: speaking from experience

This could be an unpopular course of action, but that's just me.

First, some advice going forward. Pay the ~5$/month for a VPN like Private Internet Access or NordVPN or other provider when pirating.

Second, do you have the link to the torrent? Gonna download it 100 times out of principle

Block any URLs, services, and protocols between the TV and internet not needed for the functionality you need. The specifics depends on your router, or add a specialized firewall just for your TV, using something like pi-hole, or some other dedicated inline solution https://pi-hole.net/

It doesn't have to be an open window, they make stuff like this so the window can close

Anyway, you missed my point completely. Have a good day!

Americans can order it on Amazon, so I'm sure you could send it that way

Get her something like this.

https://www.amazon.ca/SureFire-Stiletto-Multi-Output-Rechargeable-Flashlight/dp/B0818HTLVF

Completely legal in Canada. Non lethal. Good for finding your way around as well as defending yourself. If this is shone in someone's face at night, they're going to be dazzled more than long enough for her to get away.

You don't need landlord permission to install this unless you have a condo board and they legislate that you can't install this on your door. Extra security for when you are in the apartment / home.

I'd just put those things that stop birds from nesting on commercial rooftops.. anti-perchers and say it's to avoid birds if the kids are dumb enough to act like some.

Quick few questions:

(1) Do you share a kitchen? (2) When you originally moved in, did the LL live in the space at the time? If for example you moved in and the LL did not live in the space at the time, you may be able to submit to the LTB and claim tenancy (RTA stipulates that to be a boarder and not covered by the RTA, the shared kitchen had to have been in place before you moved in.)

Given you're likely not covered by the RTA unfortunately you're rather limited in terms of legal options that could both deter these actions and provide you some sort of relief.

Do you have a written lease outlining any rules/stipulations?

non legal advice here but a possible option for you would be a door knob lockout device but ofcourse be aware this may escalate the situation.

Not a lawyer.

Agreed that it definitely doesn't look right in the image. You might be okay with a beige or ivory...

Have you tried Amazon? https://www.amazon.ca/Domtar-Colors-Earthchoice-Stock-Paper/dp/B008UWYKP6 That looks like it's correct

Just got this one at work and the alarm can be turned off so if the power is shut off it will stay silent. https://www.amazon.ca/AmazonBasics-UPS-600-VA-surtensions/dp/B073Q48YGF/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=amazon+basics+ups&qid=1593714436&sr=8-1
