My wife is going to Brazil with our toddler in January. We have family there and she wants them to meet our baby.She upgraded her sit to those ones with more space and where you can request a baby crib. We did that through Air Canada app, and paid the extra fee. No issues here.To request the baby crib, the Air Canada website says that we need to call them, and we did.The guy from Air Canada while requesting the crib, which is free, asked if we paid the fee for the baby, we thought it was free, but apparently for international flight we have to pay. Our baby is 4 months old (will be 6 in January).He said that we had to pay 788 CAD. Which I thought extremely expensive for a fee, but I had no idea so we paid. When I got the payment in my credit card, I saw 2 charges, one from Air Canada 188$ and one from Travelia Corp. 600$. Really weird, but since we called Air Canada to the number listed in their website, I didn’t imagine it could be a scam.Yesterday, having lunch with friends, they said they travelled recently with Air Canada and only paid around 200$. I was pissed I had to pay almost 800$.Today I called Air Canada, and they said they only charged the 188$ and they can’t do anything about it the other charge because it was not them. I opened a dispute with them and asked for the supervisor return to us with the recording of the phone call.I also opened a dispute with my credit card saying I was scammed.I think this is an absurd situation. An employee from a huge Canadian company doing scams in their behalf? We feel robbed and very upset about all this.Is there anything else I should do? via /r/PersonalFinanceCanada https://ift.tt/USWHv3k

Bought and moved into a new house in the spring. It’s a decades old re-sale home, not a new build. It was a sellers market back then during the BoC interest rate pause. So no home inspection in our offer. Ya you know where this is going. I will save you the details, but we’ve been having leaks everywhere and it’s costing us a fortune to fix and a lot of stress. Over $15k spent in the last 3 months, and still not fixed.Ya we have an emergency fund, so we’re not in debt but I’m pretty much cashflow negative every month. Due to our inexperience, we were fooled by superficial things that catch your eye but failed to spot important details about the condition of the house. Here’s what I would do differently in hindsight:Do not buy without an inspection clause. Having a house inspector is nice, but they can miss things too. Ultimately it’s on you to do your due diligence. So more points below.Walk through EVERY part of the house, including the garage. We only looked into the garage but did not walk around the garage. Ya it looked fine from outside looking in. But had we done so, we would have seen the water stains/damage on the ceiling of the garage. This alone would have dissuaded us from making an offer.Look closely at and around the windows. Look for fog in between the glass, frame in poor condition (especially wooden frames that rot over time), cracks in the drywall around the windows, etc. Could be signs of improper/failed seal, and/or leak.Look for damaged sidingDo not buy a house with a deck directly above the garage. If it leaks, you’ll have to tear out the deck to investigate/repair. Costs a lot of time, $$$ and is a PITA.Inspect the roof! Especially if it was last replaced more than a couple of years ago. Most likely there’s broken/missing shingles that’s going to cause leaks.If the opportunity presents itself, look through the property after it rains (better if it’s heavy rain/storm), and look for leaks. I’m probably missing a lot here, but if I ever buy another house. I would add those to my list of things to look out for. We make pretty good money, so I’m sure the problems will eventually go away once we throw enough money at it, but still it’s just a lot of stress and entirely preventable. Don’t be like me. via /r/PersonalFinanceCanada https://ift.tt/rMaop5X
