Dear Homeowners,

Anyone encounter contractor (Elementz Design) Liquidation after collect deposit? I'm facing this and wonder I should do. Has anyone heard of T.I Construction? They claim to be taking over Elementz but I'm not sure I can trust them with more payment.

Thanks for the info. Is Ivy Ho the Wife of Tommy? Tommy seems to be owner of Elementz, he said he already file brankrupcy for Elementz. But they are still trying to collect money from me though TI. Do you know if TI financial conditions is stable to take on Elementz existing contracts like myself?

Now my renovation is stopped and definitely cannot make it by Chinese New Year

thanks so much

For other readers, you may want to stay away from TI. They tried to collect more money from me, but when I start negotiating and asking questions, they completely ignore my calls and SMS.

Hi Debbie

 

Please make police report. We have the same problem with large sum of money paid (50%) with no delivery. Ignore us completely after making payment. And still with all bull **** without delivery after XMAS.. We are in real trouble because of this. 

You may give me an email to discuss. I urge you to make police report as we have just done so yesterday.

Hi all

 

We didnt know we can make report on him or the company. If you check Acra, they seem to be opening a few company and close and open a few more. First time contacting this company and we got cheated badly. We make police report and need to reach out to others if they are also their victim to make it a case. 

AS we read on the web. according to Singapore law, this may be a cheating crime. 415 (g) 

 

Cheating

415.  Whoever, by deceiving any person, whether or not such deception was the sole or main inducement, fraudulently or dishonestly induces the person so deceived to deliver any property to any person, or to consent that any person shall retain any property, or intentionally induces the person so deceived to do or omit to do anything which he would not do or omit to do if he were not so deceived, and which act or omission causes or is likely to cause damage or harm to any person in body, mind, reputation or property, is said to “cheat”.

[51/2007]

Explanation 1.—A dishonest concealment of facts is a deception within the meaning of this section.

Explanation 2.—Mere breach of contract is not of itself proof of an original fraudulent intent.

Explanation 3.—Whoever makes a representation through any agent is to be treated as having made the representation himself.

[51/2007]
