PockIT cards 'frozen' in UK = no PayPal for me :(

[ovimor]

Wirecard going down has 'frozen' my CashCard from PockIT.

FCA are locking down all cash/asset movements until smoke clears BUT I use it to transact my PayPal a/c....

No Ebayying for me for the next few days....

Does it matter on RetroRides? It doesn’t seem to be related to cool or old cars

[duggers]

Random, have an old car pic

[mr2fc]

It may not be old-car related, but have a little sympathy for a fellow Retro Rider?

This is going to make life difficult for a lot of vulnerable people, show a tiny bit of humanity?

Yea, I can appreciate that, and I don’t wish hard times on anybody, but also this is a forum for cool/old cars. The OP’s post is not that so better off on Twitter or Facebook or a forum with a off topic section. We don’t have an off topic section. So this is just whinge bin fodder sadly.

Forum rules:

3) If it’s not about cars, don't post it. Retro Rides is our escape into cars, a place where cars are king and nothing else can intrude. Intrusions will be met with cats.

Simples! Read title, don't click it!? After all, that's what titles are for!

Whinge fodder is quite offensive, just say "sorry to hear that, but this is the wrong forum, hope it ends well for you."

Whatever.

Before this is locked, let me just apologise for any offence I've caused, but realise there are nicer ways of saying things.

I'm probably a bit out of sorts due to some home and work stuff, so there's that, but some of that has been caused by people who just don't think...

You’ve not offended me, that’s for sure. Whinge bin is the part of the forum where these posts go. It isn’t something I’ve made up, it’s what it’s called. At the end of the day, title or no title, as per the rules of the board this thread doth not belong. I don’t need to ‘think‘, because I know The rules of the forum, and my post wasn’t supposed to be Anti-empathetic, it just does not belong. Simple. Yes, I feel sorry for OP, but also, not here please.

Hello.... Well, that all 'Went Off' somewhat.

Back on topic >>>

Because I use the PockIT card as a 'fraud block' = my PayPal has no connection to my personal bank account = the LockDown means I can't but any RR goodies for my brumm-brumm Carina II.

It is currently a PITA as I was just about to get 'something nice', off Ebay

...... #mumsnet, carry on

Sound logic in using it, can’t argue with the motive. What was your ‘something nice’, was it perhaps Cool/old car Related and could make this thread relevant, maybe.. ? *nudgenudge*

[ovimor]

Ah... Haaaa...

I think a Primera P10 4dr 'boot spoiler' will fit very nicely onto my Carina II saloon bootlid.

I have had a 'part wanted' C2 spoiler running for some time and, frankly, I reckon they all went to the Oval.
This looks to be a smart 2nd choice

*when I can pay for it


OVIMOR

[Rich]

Fair enough. Lets have some P10's and Carinas for the thread for anyone else who wanders in here.

[ovimor]

Yeah..............

Yes. Really very yes. There should be more of this. Yes. Glad this thread happenend now. Yes.

[dacca]

That's better cool retro car stuff and were back in the zone 👌

[dodgerover]

I'm sure their will be a fair few people on here who are affected by this especially with the link to PayPal it may well cause a few parts sales to stall.
