First of all hi everyone, hope i am posting in the correct section.
I need someone's advice on the following situation, see if you were me what would you do.
We signed a contract with his firm since the beginning of last month.
On many occasions that my wife and I went to our new flat to check things out, we waited for several hours and no man came to do anything. There was plastering bags on the floor, plastering walls left half done and hacked walls not yet touched up. Many times we tried to call him, he would apologise and always gave the excuse that it is the CNY season and that he was short on manpower or that the materials he ordered was late.
What deposits his firm wanted, we paid in advance. All we asked for in return was for them to at least get it move-in condition before this CNY.
Today is 22nd of Jan. From 27th of Dec til now, all that was done so far was,
1. the existing kitchen cabinets removed
2. kitchen walls hacked away.
3. Existing toilet bowls removed and
4. Walls plastered up.
Based on my past experiences and I understand from my friends, is that this is extremely slow paced.
And on more than several occasions, he has failed to return my calls. A phone call to his company was fruitless. Several sms later and he still hasnt reply.
Today while on a trip to our flat, we met 1 of his 'material suppliers' who claims that our contractor owes him money for the materials that he has supplied to our contractor. He even went so far as to say that our contractor was gonna shut down his company. This shocked us!!
Taking into accounts was has happened so far, I realised that this could be true. I tried calling him several times these few days but to no avail. That might explains why he was trying to avoid me.
Can anyone advice me on what I should do and can do.
A. Make a police report?
B. Go to small claims court
C......etc ??
