Bad Experience With Renovation Contractor: Millennium Lifestyle Pte Ltd

[jbooncho 0]

Dear all,

My wife and I have a very bad encounter with Millennium Lifestyle Pte Ltd for our house renovation. It has caused a messy and headache situation for us to handle. The main contractors are Marvin Wong Seow Keong (S6828940H, HP: 97679499) is the boss and Shirley Lee Soon Yong (HP: 97861480) is his PA . Sub- contractor is Marvin Wong father company Max’s Image Design Studio Pte Ltd. We have signed a renovation agreement with them and were told verbally that the completion date is 6 weeks after we have hand over the house to them. We hand over to them on 1st of April 2012 but till end of June only 8 out of 52 items were completed.

They keep pressing us for payment although we have paid up to 80%. Of course I refused to pay them further. Even since, they have stopped all works. We have no choice but to make police reports and our lawyer has issued letter of demand to them to start work within 7 days but they ignored the letter completely. We have no choice to issue them 2rd lawyer letter to them to indicate that they are the one who breach the agreement. This is to protect myself as I have to find another contractor to finish the works. They still have the cheek to call us that they will start work if i pay them another $5000.

I am not the only victims. Total there are 5 victims with almost the same encounters. Worst still they lodge a small claims to other victims on undesirable stands. Lucky enough, all 5 of us have won the small claims and total of S$31K of money order was awarded to us but the contractor refused to pay us. They even resort to changing their company address 2 times within few months. This is to shift out the asset from the company so that if we do enforcement, it just a "empty company". They changed from "908A Upper Thomson Road" to "50 Tagore Lane, #04-06, Entrepreneir Centre" then to "52 SERANGOON NORTH AVENUE 4, #S-110 EVER TECH BUILDING, SINGAPORE (555853)". Reader out there shall know what are they up. Currently one of the victims and I have engaged debt collector to collect the debt for us. The other victims also considering this option.

They also have changed the company name at "908A Upper Thomson Road" to AI Lifestyle Pte Ltd, it is not registered with ARCA (dated 04/11/2012). If want to find out more, you can do a search on either yahoo or google, you shall able to find out more.....

Just to create awareness to public.......hope there will be no more victims like us......If you are victims can call me (Joo) at 94593021.
