A gal fren of mine,
Ms A, broke off with her ex, Mr Scoundrel about a year ago.
However, Mr Scoundrel’s rented condo’s PUB is still under Ms A
name. Not only that, he had taken an SCV cable box, M1 mobile
broadband kit, his M1 mobile line and Starhub mobile line, all
using Ms A’s name and still using these facilities.
He paid off the
bills the first few months after they broke up. However, he stopped
paying the bills and the poor gal had to pay up all these bills
herself with her own money. She sent multiple sms, called multiple
times and sent multiple emails but that guy was just ignoring her.
The mobile bills alone accrued to more than $1.5k. She at last had
no choice but to refuse to pay for him. However, the telcos started
to issue lawyer letters and send debt collectors after her. In
order to prevent Mr Scoundrel from conjuring up more bills, she
decided to terminate the mobile lines.
Mr Scoundrel was
worried that the PUB will cut his supplies and immediately changed
the payee name to his. However, he was not going to clear the
previous PUB bills still under Ms A’s name. By cutting his mobile
line, she had no ways of contacting him and therefore approached
his mum.
Everything,
including paying early termination fees come to about
$3k.
At last, he replied
an email saying she had harassed her family and refused to pay her
a dime. Please note that this guy is a business man who claims to
earn revenue of $10 million SGD annually. When he started off his
company, Ms A had actually provided him a capital of $20k at least.
During his cash flow difficulties, Ms A gave her ATM card to him
where he withdraws the money to tide his business (another $10k),
promising to return a few months later. And that never happens till
date.
When Ms A
confronted him in his office, he kept saying he is still using the
cable TV box but just refuse to terminate the account or return the
setup box. And of course refuse to pay because he said she was also
watching cable TV. Ms A replied she wants to cancel the cable TV
but he just refused to return the setup box! As for the mobile
line, he not only refused to pay the mobile bills, he even refused
to do a line transfer. He also refused to return the M1 mobile
broadband set.
And in retaliation
of claiming Ms A is asking him for money (when she is only claiming
bills he had incurred and nothing more), he told the housing agent
to kick her out of her rented room within 12 hours of notice. It
was till then that she realized that the agent was in cahoots with
him.
Mr Scoundrel kept
claiming Ms A used his money etc … but this is the type of guy who
says ‘I will buy this for you … but you foot the bill
1st’ So at the end of the day, he went around claiming
he bought lots of branded stuffs for Miss A while Miss A had to pay
on her own for most of the branded stuffs. He claimed she treated
her like a ‘QUEEN’. How can a guy treat a gal like a ‘QUEEN’ when
he laid his hands on her i.e. he slapped her?!
Does anyone have
any such experience and how can Ms A get Mr Scoundrel to return the
SCV setup box, M1 mobile broadband kit and pay the bills he
incurred?
