Disappointing development

Disappointing development

From Republika

I bought a house in "Taman Kebajen Indah" in Bekasi, West Java, in August 1994 with a down-payment. At that time the construction of the house had not yet started. The developer promised that the construction of the house would be completed in August 1995.

When I visited the location in the promised month, it was obvious that nothing had happened. They were still filling in the land. The developer said that the rain had swept away the earth and this had caused the delay. Again they promised to complete the house by the end of 1995.

In January 1996 I found only a few blocks completed. This time the explanation was that the contractor had been changed. So far my block has not been completed yet. This indicates that the developer lacks a sense of responsibility, as they have the authority to urge the contractor to finish the construction. Disappointed at this situation, I cancelled my purchase. But they made it difficult to get reimbursed. This has shattered my dream of owning a house.
