Case seeks to have Mr Chiok declared as having carried out unfair practices. It also seeks an injunction to restrain him from further carrying out such unfair practices. In the past 71/2 years, Case received 44 complaints against his companies for unfair practices, it said in a statement on Thursday. Case alleges that Mr Chiok regularly took full payment for furniture that was represented as available when he knew that it was not. In some instances, he allegedly persuaded customers to make full payment for their purchases upfront by asserting that he was giving them a special or preferential price. In many complaints related to transactions that took place at furniture or exhibition fairs, goods were allegedly not delivered by their promised delivery dates, and were often a different size, colour or model from what was ordered. Case said that it tried many times to contact Mr Chiok, but received no response. So it decided to apply for an injunction against him and his three businesses. This is the sixth injunction application by Case since 2004. The last one was against the now defunct timeshare company Concord Developments Pte Ltd in 2012. Mr Chiok's case is scheduled to be heard in court on Aug 28. tiffanyt@sph.com.sg

That's correct From Bank point of view, they had to make sure the lender can pay back. Redeem .. no comment pay back CPF + interest .. yes.. if he want to remove his name. As long as some one pay back the CPF + interest to CPF. Who money.. not important No advise. That's how it work. You not the first one and not the last one. Since his parent refused to sell or downgrade. Then the only left few choice 1. win TOTO Group 1 2. Pay back CPF + interest in order to remove his name. If all option not available, then left one choice 1. Give up your BTO, stay with his parent

only one wall can hack. bedroom 3 to store room

Question: why master bedroom is locked? Are owner staying?

Yes, you can buy HDB by using CPF and cash. When you submit your application, HDB officer will ask you to proof your finance that you don't need HLE or Bank Loan. Just photo copy your Bank statement and email to them when ask. For BTO, your OA will empty out. Minimum sum component is only application for age 55. Note: you only can use OA $$ to pay HDB.. which is about 60K that you have mentioned. With your inheritance 100k. You hv 60K (OA) + $100k (inheritance) = $160k U need to cater some amount for lawyer fee(can use CPF), valuation report (cash). Best to cater few thousand more.

window, I will worry HDB inspection more then buyer. HDB officer come down for inspection, they might want you to make it good. Inspection fail, cannot sell. as above. Unless you know the buyer want to change every single thing. resale flat - sold as it is except those been spot during HDB inspection. Buyer right ... don't have.. buy "at is it" condition those are FIX item, By right, cannot be remove. BUT you want check with buyer.. does they want it? If yes.. then you have no right to remove it. If they don't want, then you can ask them, can you remove it. Ask nicely. Do take note, some buyer want to buy a house with min reno, to save $$ Ask before sign OTP

legally. You are officially declare as HDB owner upon receive the key

http://business.asiaone.com/news/hdb-gets-powers-enter-flats-checks-has-been-created NEW laws that give Housing Board officers the power to enter HDB flats to check on flaws like ceiling leaks or do repairs were passed in Parliament yesterday, but they would be used only as a last resort, Minister of State for National Development Desmond Lee assured MPs. Officers can force their way in without a court warrant "if, and only if, there is imminent danger to public safety or health, and time is of the essence, and HDB has no other means of entry to the flat", he said. Mr Lee stressed this point when rounding up the debate on amendments to the Housing and Development Act. The changes were in three broad areas: powers for its officers to enter a flat without a court warrant when its owners or tenants make unauthorised structural changes; get a warrant to enter a flat whose residents persistently refuse to co-operate in fixing urgent problems; and enter a flat with a warrant to investigate whether the owners breached their lease agreement with the HDB. While MPs support the changes, they worry about possible abuse of the new powers. Mr Gan Thiam Poh (Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC) and Non-Constituency MP Lina Chiam asked when the HDB could enter a flat without a warrant. Mr Lee said the most likely situation would be when walls and columns critical to a building's structural integrity are demolished. Such cases are rare. In the last three years, there was an average of five cases of unauthorised demolition of structural walls and columns each year. But each was a cause for concern, he stressed. Citing a Bishan home owner who removed part of a structural column without a permit, Mr Lee said the HDB must be able to intervene quickly in situations where there are severe risks to life and property. The "last resort" approach also applies to less urgent cases like ceiling leaks. Officers will get a court warrant as a last resort "when the upper-floor neighbour is clearly unreasonable", he said. Indeed, if neighbours are considerate, the HDB would not need to invoke these powers, he added. But the powers could significantly reduce the time taken to resolve a small number of protracted ceiling leak cases. There were about 30 serious cases last year, in which upper-floor neighbours refused to co-operate despite repeated appeals, Mr Lee said. Before getting a warrant, the HDB would give the owners or occupiers at least 24 hours' notice. Three MPs, including Ms Lee Bee Wah (Nee Soon GRC), asked for a longer notice period. Mr Lee said no, adding that 24 hours is enough as these cases would have gone on for a while. Mr Gan and Nominated MP Mohd Ismail Hussein warned of possible impersonation of officers. Mr Lee said residents can call HDB hotlines to verify an officer's identity, while the HDB will work with the police and grassroots organisations to educate residents on ways to guard against imposters. Similarly, officers armed with court warrants can enter flats to check whether the owners have breached the lease by, say, illegally subletting their flats or turning them into gambling dens. Previously, they could not enter as long as the owners refused them entry. In summing up, Mr Lee said: "It's important the HDB be given appropriate powers to... ensure a safer and more pleasant living environment for all." rachelay@sph.com.sg yeosamjo@sph.com.sg This article was first published on April 14, 2015. - See more at: http://business.asiaone.com/news/hdb-gets-powers-enter-flats-checks-has-been-created#sthash.thjiJzwk.dpuf NEW laws that give Housing Board officers the power to enter HDB flats to check on flaws like ceiling leaks or do repairs were passed in Parliament yesterday, but they would be used only as a last resort, Minister of State for National Development Desmond Lee assured MPs.

the company already paid the advertising fee if recruitment firm is headhunter or job agent, most lightly they didn't receive instruction from the client HR that this opening is fill.

SInce you have sign the OTP and exercise it, further more 1st appointment date fixed. Don't worry. If you worry the seller playing games, u can use your spouse HP to call one of those listing and see what they telling you. OR Another direct approach is, call the seller directly and ask him. Why you still selling your unit? Remember to screen shot those listing just in case. U never know , will u need it or not.

My aircon contractor cover the outside with Aluminum sheet and inside using plywood. Outside.. I cannot show you unless I climb out. Inside .. it already paint over. move in since 2010, so far so good.

No. I am not an agent, people normally only tell good thing. If TS think the agent is misleading his elder parent. Why don't he go straight to CEA and the agent company to file a complain. Why he want to settle with the buyer. He mentioned What does legal advice told him. If he has a case, why didn't he go after the agent. Something don't add up. BTW, that my thought.

when agent tried to explain the terms, rule, requirement.... client told them to shut up.. question them why they talk so much.. explain so much for what.. I don't need to understand.. that's why I engage you (agent) to do those job If I know all these, why I need to pay you commission. When things went not to what the client wish, client bite back. scold agent for not telling them, not explaining to them. Then complain to CES, complain to agent company. There is good agent and problem agent. There also has good client and problematic client and also those who think they had the money, they had the right to scold agent. Agent is there for scolding. Quote "Ah Boy to Man Part III" "I also has mother. I'm not here to let you bully"

did you tried to ask the sale person question. Like warranty, delivery, etc. Base on what I heard.. story like Story #1 the sale person know nothing. ask anything question , all dont know. said need to ask supervisor. If you said you want to speak to the supervisor, they reply.. they don't know who.. not yet employ Story #2 ask the customer service counter about their membership. Customer service counter reply.. don't know basically... simi all don't know Conclusion that I received is They basically are not ready to do business, staff not train or inform. The above is base on the feedback when they just open. Now.. don't know has improvement or not..

for me, I will choose #11

hmm "exercise the rights to buy even before the valuation report is out" ???? Buyer has HLE or Bank loan in principal approved before valuation report? http://www.hdb.gov.sg/fi10/fi10321p.nsf/w/BuyResaleFlatOTP?OpenDocument The date of issue of the HLE or the Letter of Offer must be before you exercise the Option. This is to ensure that you have the means to buy the resale flat before you commit to the purchase. when she received the first appointment letter, then she will know how simple is it. OTP is legal doc.

Yes. the agent is correct. Now, no longer can have valuation before selling. Valuation only can done after OTP sign and buyer request for valuation. Seller will not know how much the valuation is unless buyer willingly to share this information. 1. agent represent buyer or seller? 2. does your parent has any agent present them? 3. does that agent ask your parent to sign "Resale Checklist for Sellers"? http://services2.hdb.gov.sg/webapp/BB24ResaleChecklistBS/BB24SHome Ur parent really sign the OTP and take that $1k deposit. If yes, gone. http://www.hdb.gov.sg/fi10/fi10322p.nsf/w/SellFlatChecklist?OpenDocument Resale Checklist for Sellers If you intend to sell your flat, you should go through the Resale Checklist even before you start to market your flat for sale. The Resale Checklist highlights the key policies and procedures that you should take note of before you commit to selling your flat, that is, before you grant the Option to Purchase. The Resale Checklist must be completed and submitted online via the Resale Checklist for Sellers/Buyers e-Service to the HDB at least seven days before you grant the Option to Purchase to the flat buyer.

In a news release, police said that on Feb 14, two similar cases of flat rental scams were reported. In these cases, the victims had responded to an online advertisement for rental of a unit in Boon Lay Drive and Ghim Moh Road. "The suspect would then follow up and arrange with the victims to view the unit, and thereafter collect money ranging from S$2,400 to S$2,840 from them as advance payment and deposit for the flat rental," police said. After collecting the rental fees, he could not be contacted, they added. Police arrested the suspect at Jalan Besar on Tuesday at about 1.25am. They seized from him receipt books and files containing stacks of tenancy agreements. Preliminary investigations show the suspect could be linked to more than 20 counts of rental scams using flats at Mei Ling Street, Ghim Moh Road and Boon Lay Drive, police said. The suspect will be charged in court on Wednesday and if convicted of cheating, he could be jailed up to 10 years. - CNA/ly

https://www.acra.gov.sg/Announcements/Public_Announcement_issued_on_19_December_2014/ Public Announcement issued on 19 December 2014It has come to ACRA’s attention that the entity known as “Data Register Pte Ltd” has sent out invoice reminders to companies that had earlier provided company information to them, to seek payment for subscription services. We would like to emphasise that ACRA has no links whatsoever with this entity. In Jan 2014, the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) brought 104 charges against the company known as Data Register Pte Ltd for failing to display the company name (52 charges) and registration number (52 charges) in its correspondences with companies in November 2013. The case is now before the State Court. ACRA has gathered additional evidence with a view to tendering additional charges should any offence be revealed. The requirement to state a company’s name and registration number in business correspondences is mandated under section 144 of the Companies Act. This is to ensure that members of public are aware of the identity of the corporate entity that issued the letter in question, and to prevent entities from impersonating or purporting to represent another company or government agency. When in doubt, a member of public may conduct a free search on the company via ACRA's website. This search will reveal if the company is registered; and if so, its business address, registration number as well as its compliance rating with basic requirements of the Companies Act. Further corporate information, such as the identity of shareholders and directors and the financial status of the company, may also be purchased for a small fee. While organisations can seek to collect business information from companies through private arrangements, the statutory duty to file and provide business information under the Companies Act is owed only to ACRA, the national regulator of business entities and public accountants in Singapore. Companies that need to file or update their records with ACRA, should do so only through Bizfile, ACRA’s online filing and information retrieval system, at www.bizfile.gov.sg.
