Sometime ago, Happy Actor (HA) had to find a solution to his car breakdown. Thus, he asked Vehicle Owner (VO) if he could rent a car for a month and they agreed on the daily rental price. VO then asked for a downpayment, which was usually 50% of the cost of the contract. HA requested if he could pay only a part of the downpayment, as he did not have enough funds at that time. VO, trusting that HA will keep his word, accepted the amount HA offered.
After a month of using the car, HA requested for an extension. When four weeks passed, HA and VO agreed that the former should return the car the next day. HA asked for the amount he owed VO, and when he found out, he requested for a discount. Furthermore, HA requested if he could pay his debt in two installments. VO had to choice but to agree.
When the first due date arrived, HA sent an sms to VO stating that he did not have sufficient funds in his account to cover the installment. VO should not deposit the check. However, VO said that they needed the money because of personal, urgent reasons. A series of text messages ensued and soon, HA was calling VO. VO, who was avoiding any untoward incident that a phone conversation with HA might bring, did not take the call. Instead, his girlfriend took the call and VO overheard HA screaming at the woman. HA attempted to explain that his paycheck from the network was delayed, which was the reason he did have enough funds.
Finally, the second due date came. On the eve of the said date, HA sent a message asking for another extension. HA claimed that a family member was in dire need of his help and he wanted to use the money first. However, given the incident with the first paycheck, VO is having second thoughts on trusting HA again. It seems that after using the car service, HA is even the one dictating when he should pay, which seems unfair to VO. Moreover, when the car was returned, VO noticed that the car kit was missing, the aircon was malfunctioning, and some bearings were loose. What is getting on the nerves of VO is that he is unable to pay up, but has funds to set up a dream date with his partner. Such date was all over the entertainment pages, by the way.
