I am refering to filing a case to Small Claims Tribunal against
the DCA which I engaged. During my discussion with them, they
claimed they have over 30 years of experiences in recovering this
type of debts. They said they will do this, do that, but after I
signed the contract, they have never contact me. They suppose to
provide me a weekly update but they din. I am the one who always
called them to chase for an update. They gave me the same type of
reaons that I heard when I called my friend i.e. not free to meet,
arrange for an appointment, need to settle something first, etc,
etc. They even told me sometimes they don't have any update for me
so there is no point calling me to provide an update ... what a
fXX!
I know I may not get back my $1500 but I was thinking of
registering a case with the Small Claims Tribunal court to dewter
them for future dealings with other people? I found out from the
website, the fees charged by the Small Claims Tribunal court is
about $300.
I have loaned out closed to $100k. Half the amount came from Line
of Credit and Master/VISA Card facilities. Now, it seems that I
have to shoulder these debts. The company is registered under my
friend's name and managed by another business partner, Mr A. As
cited earlier, I do not know whatr did she use the money for as
when she approached me, she told me she is unable to reveal the
reason behind why she needed the money but promised that will be
returned to me about 3 months later. For someone whom I knew over
15 years and met regularly, I do not doubt her sincereity ... When
I asked her to return me the funds, she said she is trying very
best to sort this out for me .. but the delay goes on and on ...
she does not pick up my call nor does she meet me .. it is always
Mr A spoke speaking to me .. he claimed they are trying their best
to sort things out for me .. he also said my friend is too shameful
to meet me as she did not know what to say ... My last contact with
Mr A was last month .. he told me that my friend is now in remand
and he is trying to raise some $500,000 to bail her ... He also
told me that her family has refused to help and abodoned her ...
Unfortunately, I also learnt from the newspaper that this Mr A has
caused some injuries to one of his debtor, sentenced to 3 months
jail but he appealed ... The appeal was heard by CJ and his
sentence is now doubled ...
Think I'm doomed ...
To make things worse, I have just lost my job and I can forsee
troubles coming .. I din dare to tell my mum about or neither my
friends ... everyday, I have been wandering the streets till
evening before I reeturn home .. just to show my mum nothing's
happening .. A couple of times .. while I was driving .. I sobbed
... I neevr never dream that I will end up like that .... and I did
nothing wrong .. I tried to keep things away from friends but I din
know how long will it last ... suddenly, I fealt that the world
just torn apart .........
But dun worry, I'm not about to do silly things as I still have the
will to move on .. but just find it hard to press on for time being
... Waiting for an opportunity to meet someone (best I dunno) to
say out all things, think I might feel better that way ... The
problem is, apart from this, I have another social problem
bothering me .... sigh ....
