Seven-year itch

In 1991, I bought a Bank Tabungan Negara (BTN) house at Reni Jaya Lama through the method of "debtor transfer". I fulfilled all the obligations regarding the purchase of the house. The handover document is numbered 138/Dok/Bgr/Spspk/1991 and signed by Ratimin and Subarna.

To date I have received the entire set of documents, except the land title deed, which I am told is still being processed. This means it has been in the making since February 1991, or exactly seven years to date!

Meanwhile, I have continually asked BTN about the document. I have also spoken to the Depok BTN chief, H. Yunan, with no result. Recently, I met with Agus of the BTN foundation. He told me that the land title deed would probably be released next year. Yet it all seems so infinitely uncertain.

It is clear, however, that I am not alone in this predicament at Reni Jaya Lama.

The Suara Pembaruan reader whose letter was published in that publication on Feb. 22 is fortunate. But when will BTN pay attention to us at Reni Jaya Lama?
