But till now there is no news from them. They doesn’t respond to us. They don’t accept our letters, if we asks them whatever doubts , concerns we have. Their landline no. is not working. Whatever mobile no.s of their concerned persons we have, they don’t take our phone calls and never responds to us. We had gone to their office, but there also they doesn’t responds to us in good way and everytime they say we will let you know shortly. etc.
Now, we are worried. We have paid them the extra money for additional space and they just don’t give any response. So, what do we do now? What options do we have?
Basically, we want to know that when will the IOD be receive by them, at least tentatively and when would the building be demolish for new construction? They have just given us a cheat of paper as received the money by them. It doesn’t have their name printed also. When we told them about it, they just ignored us. Though the builder is known, so we also didn’t go deep. But now we are worried. Is any course of action is there for us whereby they will give us some idea or clarification about the project.
Or shall we send them a lawyer’s notice? Pl. guide to us.
