trevorcantona 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) Hi People and all Sooners!!! I had an eventful week making silly purchases and buying food for the workers! I will be posting some progress pics soon to update on the progress of my reno, however, that said, i would like to ask my fellow sooners and forumers who are with uncle soon: EVENT 1 First incident happened on Thurs 1 Oct. I received a check from uncle on fri 25 Sept for 12k (that is he pay me back 12k). However on Fri 2 Oct, i received a letter from OCBC informing me that the cheque bounced. I actually expected it to bounce. However what i did not expect is the following reason: ACCOUNT CLOSED. I was rather taken aback as I was shocked that uncle gave me a cheque from a closed account! EVENT 2 The second incident happened to me shortly before i called uncle. The electrician Kelvin called me (I basically have all the sub cons number and uncle also told them to call me so that i can tell them what i wan!!!) to inform me that uncle told him that he is not able to pay Kelvin the initial deposit for the electrical works now. He needs to delay several days. Kelvin asked me to then chase uncle!! And so i called uncle shortly after the 2 incidents. He sounded rather pissed or irritated (think should not call him after 3pm!!!!) and told me that he will investigate the reason why the cheque bounced. Now, i know that uncle is saying it jus to buy time. I am fine with that and I am NOT going to talk to him about it til Mon or Tues (when he is more free and less irritated?!?!). However, he also told me that the electrician is busy and will start later. Trev P/S: As Uncle has requested, i have modified my post!!!

bergkamp 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2009 Sorry to hear about your episode with the neighbour downstairs. Will take that as a warning for my own reno. Even though I have no reno work planned for the windows...still i will make it a point to warn the neighbour downstairs. In a way its understandable why she was pissed, but she should have been a bit poilte about it. You didnt do it on purpose... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SilverBullet 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) Trevor, for a start, since you have all the phone numbers of the sub-cons, why don't you give them a call to check on uncle's transactions with them lately, this may help you to find out what situation he may be in. Either it can assure you that nothing is wrong, or if not the other way round... hrm. As the consumer, you have the right to find out.

trevorcantona 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2009 Y must uncle pay u 12k ? Cos i used uncle's name to borrow $$ from bank and uncle agreed earlier on to return me the $$ as i have already paid him 17k liao! (which is 2/3 of what is owed to him!) Sorry to hear about your episode with the neighbour downstairs. Will take that as a warning for my own reno. Even though I have no reno work planned for the windows...still i will make it a point to warn the neighbour downstairs. In a way its understandable why she was pissed, but she should have been a bit poilte about it. You didnt do it on purpose... She is rather old and I think pretty stubborn! Trevor, for a start, since you have all the phone numbers of the sub-cons, why don't you give them a call to check on uncle's transactions with them lately, this may help you to find out what situation he may be in. Either it can assure you that nothing is wrong, or if not the other way round... hrm. As the consumer, you have the right to find out. I roughly know his transactions with them! More or less cos I have been around when uncle's making payment. 12K pay for what? as above hee... ????!!!!????? trev.... have u spoken to uncle again? uncle is also askin for my progress payment fm me... jesslyn, seashell, wht abt u guys? Hi Fini! I have spoken to uncle this afternoon! He says he called me immediately after talking to someone whose house is from AMK!!! I was like okay! Then I realised that maybe i have over speculated! Me too.we just done 3nd payment,total gived uncle 20%*3=60%. Oh i have given uncle 17k out of about 25k (the others are due to Ah Wei) = 65% hmmmm... I think i am one of those who has given uncle the most!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trevorcantona 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2009 Dear All, I have talked to uncle this afternoon and he has explained to me that he forgot that he has closed the account as the bank is really ulu and very inconvenient for him!! I accepted his reason and he said that he will settle the matter on Mon. As for the electrician, I will talk to him again on Mon and also bout the electrical works to uncle!
