hslbroker2:
please nairalanders and forumites, help me to beg focusmind to pay me my balance.

EgunMogaji2:


@focusmind Sir, what is the way forward here if you’re indeed holding a balance. What does hslbroker2 need to do to be in compliance so you can consider releasing his balance? This is assuming there’s any balance.

I come in peace.

Hello Sir, just because of you and my respect, I may have to honor HSL Broker with a response.

I paid hslbroker 300k to do some windows for me. The guy practically disappeared for weeks and months, giving one excuse or the other. Note that he was the one that gave me a quote of N300K, selected as the preferred bidder and I paid fully for the windows. I kept hammering it to his ears that he needed to do my job, and that I would not bear any cost overrun because of his delays in delivering the job as at when due, which was supposed to be within seven days after payment.

I was on this matter with him for more than 3months and he could not deliver my job. I said ok, refund me my money and let me move on after some weeks. He still refused to refund the money when I made the request. After some months, he came back and told me that prices of materials have gone up and he could not deliver based on the initial cost. I reminded him that I warned him that I would not bear any cost overrun in this project because of his deliberate delays and that I wanted my money back. He finally called that he was outsourcing the job to Adedeward but I should note that the earlier N300K I paid would not stand again and that I would need to pay additional 120k.

My brother, I needed to take delivery of my goods at all cost and I knew that deep down me, I was not ready to pay anything. Agreeing to him was my own strategy of getting my goods. Most people in my shoes would have done the same based on the fact that I was dealing with someone of unstable character. I reminded him that the increase in costs he claimed was his own making as at the time we agreed the job, I paid him what was agreed for him to deliver within seven working days. He did not live up to that part of the agreement.

I later called the new contractor he contracted to do the job, the guy requested for additional 40k to do the mosquito nets and 10k for transportation, making a total of 50k advanced to him. I paid him as I was desperate to get my windows. Lately, I still advanced 25k to him to fix some broken windows, which has been settled. That I told hslbroker to proceed to deliver my windows even when he told me of additional cost of N120K was my last option of getting back my goods, even when he was not ready to make a refund.

In total, I have spent 375k on windows that the initial cost was 300k to be delivered within seven working days. He even deceived me that he had bought all the materials as at time and was about to start work. So, I don't know where I have erred here. I know that he may have sympathizers here, but I believed strongly that I did not do anything wrong. Hslbroker did not deliver my job as at the time we agreed, neither did he refund me back my money as at the time I made the request.

I have used contractors here, Dominionng especially, and I never had cause to regret it. The window ish has caused me so much stress and just today, I had to personally go to Odun-Ade market to buy my tiles myself even though I wanted to patronize one guy here on nairaland that deals on tiles. But to avoid any trouble, I had to take delivery of the tiles myself. Your quote, which is my favorite is now my guiding principle: "Trust is the currency of fraud. I have none".[b][/b]

Finally, the windows I got were of thick imported material made as against Tower agreed with hslbroker. So, I don't know what else to do.

hslbroker2:


thank God that you came, you are wrong, you choose a profile that was scare at time, and I was indispose.

when you agreed to pay me the balance, you still went ahead to claim you paid adedward N75k making in total adedward collected N495k for a project you paid me N300k

So you are lied to me you will balance me N120k to get your work when you know the materials was not available at that time and I told you, it won't be possible as agreed.

You also lied to me that @ibibioson arrested you.

If you a good man, you have confirmed I paid Adedward additional N120k, it was for your work, will you allow me to wallow in this debt when you are already now satisfy with your work.

Focusmind be a sincere man, you will never be in circumstances that will break you down.

You promise to pay me this money.

and you won't experience difficult, if you are indispose for once you won't pray for it again.

Focusmind:


To be sincere, I wanted to ignore you because I knew it would amount to this rubbish and dirtiness. Who is Ibibison? I don't even know the person. What link has this to do with what we are saying? I hope you are not mistaken me?

If you are in doubt, ask Adedward what was paid to him.

Bro, please bye.

EgunMogaji2:
I have a question for those that have gone there before me like Spyder880 especially.

I just acquired another 1 acre property for sale near the Omi Adio station. I'm toying with the idea of designing it as a micro estate. Fewer and smaller plots, central/shared gateman, shared borehole, bio digestive septic tank, small height fence between plots, perimeter fence, etc

How viable do you guys think this might be?

Thanks.

I welcome all inputs.

pussiboner:


Did you collect money for a project to be delivered in 7 days?

hslbroker2:
I collected money from him not to deliver in 7days because the profile he wanted was not available, but i told him once we get the materials, we would finish it in 7days, when we finally get the matetials, I told him the current cost , while I was indisposed and I told him the person am outsourcing it to was taken N420k not N300k he paid me, and he said I should go ahead with it, I told him I can refund the money, he said I shouldn't, I should go ahead with the work wish was did, Now to pay me become problem for him.


And refuse to pick my call, is this fair.

EgunMogaji2:


I know you’re upset and concerned but let’s not use words to pour petrol on the fire.

I’m not taking any sides and just want a resolution that’ll be acceptable to both parties.

A lesson to artisans, please don’t take all jobs that you come across. Measure against your deliverables first. I’ve been preaching this on here.

Let’s wait for others to chime in.

pussiboner:
When you were indisposed... Did you call the client to notify him?

What stops you from returning his money when you were indisposed?

I am just seeking clarifications...

@HSLbroker you have clearly dodged the above questions asked.

You apparently wanted to play a fast one on focusmind and he beat you to it. I wonder why one would be indisposed and u cannot properly communicate to ur client on your status. Imagine someone parting with his hard earned money and you refused taking your calls or communicating... That's not cool

@focusmind I don't even know what to say, all I can say is that you forgive him. If you have a compensation for adedward it would be good to give him. I felt he was just unfortunate to be in the cross fire. HSLbroker might have told him you would pay the balance.

Abeg you guys should place your personal integrity above everyother thing else. You don't know who is going to patronize you next, especially our big bosses from diaspora.

The internet never forgets!!!

hslbroker2:


dodge which question @pussiboner

pussiboner:


You have answered your part, I hope focusmind would confirm what you just said

hslbroker2:


but you just started accusing me of dodging your question.

which is not so

this the clear status.

pussiboner:


@HSLbroker...

In this our clime... The customer is always right. This could have been better managed. Communication was a major issue. Focusmind just decided to capitalize on that to shortpay you for the job. This is what both of you could have settled offline.

You could have better managed the situation. That's my opinion
