Njuz (nije njuz)


Recommended Posts

In Soviet Russia, it's the banks that pay customers' bills. Or, at least, one might.

An interesting case has surfaced in Voronezh, Russia, where a man is suing a bank for more then 24 million Russian rubles (about $727,000) in compensation over a handcrafted document that was signed and recognized by the bank.

A person who goes by name Dmitry Alexeev (his surname was changed by the first Russian outlet to publish this story) said that in 2008 he received a letter from Tinkoff Credit Systems in his mailbox. It was a credit card application form with an agreement contract enclosed, much like the applications Americans receive daily from various banks working with Visa (NYSE:V), Mastercard (NYSE:MA), American Express (NYSE:AXP), or Discover (NYSE:DFS). Alexeev filled in the form and returned the signed application, though what he sent back was not exactly the same document the bank had sent him.

Alexeev changed some parts for his own benefit -- most notably, the small print. He opted in for a 0% APR and no fees, and added that the customer "is not obliged to pay any fees and charges imposed by bank tariffs." He also changed the URL of the site where the terms and conditions were published from www.tcsbank.ru to tcsbank.at.ua. Additionally, he added a special clause that would protect him should the bank break the agreement in a unilateral manner. For each unilateral change in the terms provided in the agreement, the bank would be asked to pay the customer (Alexeev) 3 million rubles (about $91,000), or a cancellation fee of 6 million rubles ($182,000).

Alexeev then sent his updated agreement to the bank, and shortly thereafter received the bank's signed and certified copy, as well as a credit card.

However, after two years of active use, the bank decided to terminate Mr. Alexeev’s credit card in 2010 because he was late paying the minimum required amounts. In 2012, the bank sued Alexeev for 45,000 roubles ($1,363) – an amount that included the remaining balance, fees, and late payment charges. The court decided that the agreement Alexeev crafted was valid, and required Alexeev to settle only his balance of 19,000 rubles ($575).

Despite the apparent victory, Alexeev fought back: On August 1, the Kominternovsky District Court of Voronezh launched hearings about Alexeev's countersuit against the bank. As Tinkoff Credit Systems had not honored eight clauses in the agreement, Alexeev now wants the bank to pay amends of 24 million rubles ($727,000) total. The law firm Konsultant, which is representing Alexeev, says that the bank’s decision to terminate the agreement cannot be lawful because his client was not paid 6 million rubles, as per terms of the amended agreement.

The bank has so far said that the case was related to "a nonrecurrent technical issue," and it is willing to have its day in court. The next hearing will be held in September.

Jovana Trnavčanin, student iz Beograda postavila novi rekord u jedenju ćevapa
 
Jovana Trnavčanin, student iz Beograda pobednica je takmičenja u jedenju ćevapa koje se održalo juče u Sarajevu. Sa 68 pojedenih ćevapa pomela je konkurenciju od 23 takmičara i time postavila novi rekord. Dosadašnji rekord bio je star punih 11 godina kada je Bosanac Anto Maglić pojeo 63 ćevapa.
 
U kratkom intervjuu Jovana Trnavčanin nam je ispričala kako je bilo na sarajevskom takmičenju.
 
"Od detinjstva su mi ćevapi omiljena hrana. Jednom sam na rođendanu svoje prijateljice pojela sve ćevape pa su druga deca morala da jedu hrenovke i salatu od kupusa.", rekla je Jovana i nastavio: "Prijavila sam se prošli mesec na ovo takmičenje kad sam videla plakat u svojoj ulici. Pisalo je da su ćevapi na takmičenju besplatni i da je glavna nagrada 20 kg smrznutih ćevapa pa sam rekla ajde može!"
 
Na pitanje kako se oseća nakon što je pojela 68 ćevapa, odgovorila nam je da hitno mora na WC da napravi jedan veliki, debeli ćevap.
