On the 22nd November 2010, once arrived home, i saw there's a letter from Ghani & Co (Lawyer for our Seller), when i open and read the letter i feels like the world is going down, it's a letter saying that they are returning our interest payment for extension and our 5% down payment is forfeit due to expiry date of the S&P or in our case proclamation of sales.
Then the next morning (tuesday) i called our lawyer and asked them about the letter, they told us not to worry, they are drafting and appeal letter already. Up until wednesday, we followed up and the appeal letter is not yet done, we keep on following up and it's only done on the evening and they faxed me a copy of the appeal letter. Then at night, we brought the problem and discuss with my sister in law which has a law background before this and she recommended us to go to our lawyer on the next day and discuss with them, if that no sufficient enough, then go to Ghani & Co for and appeal.
The next day which is thursday (25th November 2010), we went to our lawyer firm and guess what? our lawyer is on leave, we not sure whether she really on leave or it's just an excuse. Then the lawyer firm let another lawyer named eddy to explain to us what the situation is. Then he told us that the chances is only 50-50. So we ask him to show us all the document that they have done before this and guess what, almost every of their letter, there is a cc sign to us, but since the beginning, we did not receive any letter from them, what a disappointment. From there, we also realized that the problem that we encountered now is because they did not proceed with the interest payment on the time given. So we asked them to make a copy for us and then we proceed to Ghani & Co, but before that we asked the lawyer's clerk to call Ghani & Co first to know who we should met at Ghani & Co and we got a surprise saying that the old owner has reclaimed the house when we failed to pay the interest on the time given. End of story at our lawyer firm.
After that, we proceed to our Seller and they told us that there is no way we can get back the house because the old owner has done their settlement. The house is already theirs. Feels like crying at that moment, but i just hold it back. Only after we arrived at our car, we let it go. We cried and so disappointed with our lawyer. They never updated us their progress and never let us know any problem that they encountered. Because of their behavior we lost the house, we already did the renovation and cleaning of the house, all done because we asked the lawyer firm and they told us that we can proceed with renovation because they assured us that there is no problem and we can get the house.
Now we lost our house, money and time. We done a quick calculation of the house, we already spend almost 25k for the house, and yet the house is not ours. What an experienced. For those who wanted to buy a house or anything that involved lawyer, do know your lawyer is doing their work or not, or else you will end up disappointment. We don't know that to do right now, should we go to the bar council, report and us for their guidance or just let it go.
- Baby, thanks for always being there for me, i'm so thankful to have u by my side, u are my strength, u are my life and u are my everything, i love u so much baby and until i can never live without u, we will get through this, we will. -
