Disappointed by developer

Disappointed by developer

From Bisnis Indonesia

The leaflet issued by PT Mega Pasanggrahan Indah in its sale
promotion of Cinere Mall says that 48 shops/houses (Ruko) are on
sale. These Ruko units are specially and carefully designed for
good and convenient home living and business promotion.

Attracted by this ad I decided to buy one unit No. 13 on an
installment basis and the value added tax (VAT) was included. I
paid the monthly installment regularly and they gave me a receipt
for each payment. I paid the last installment in April 1993.
However, until now I have not received the VAT invoice.

When I inquired as to when I should sign the transaction
document I was told that the document could be signed only after
the Letter of Binding Agreement was completed. This is not in
compliance with the facilities promised in their leaflet which
does not rule such a condition. On top of that the right of
ownership of the Ruko has been changed and the function as a home
is abolished. Moreover, I could not start running my business
because the type of business was also determined by the
developer.

I hope that the Indonesian Foundation of the Consumers
Institution will look into this matter.
