Survey: Selling or renting a property

The newspaper carried the story about a property agent being sued by the seller for giving bad advice to sell a property at below the market value. The property was sold to the buyer (who was a friend of the agent) who then re-sold the property at a big profit.

The court decided in favour of the plaintiff and required the property agent to compensate the original owner for the loss.

Service to lodge a complaint

Some investors of the credit linked notes received their rejection letter. They telephoned me for assistance. They have not read my blog or been in touch with the group leaders. 

I am not able to provide individual assistance to these investors. If you need assistance to lodge a complaint with FIDREC, you can contact Adrian Tan (email: atans1@hotmail.com)

Adrian will charge you a small fee for the time that he has to spend to help you. You can discuss the fee with Adrian and decide if you wish to pay for his services.

You can also read my blog to get in touch with the group leaders for the credit linked notes that you have bought. If you wish to join a class action, you can read my blog for announcement of the meetings.

 

Rejection letters from financial institutions

Many note holders (of mini bonds, high notes, pinnacle notes, jubilee notes) are getting rejection letters from the financial institutions.  They are disappointed. They wish to take legal action. 

I am getting e-mails from these investors. It is quite discouraging to see so many people who are disappointed with the decision of the financial institutions.

Here is a comment:

The most insulting part is that we all got form letters, and not even one word of explanation was given. That is why the XXX brand stand for, cruelty and arrogance. No one in my family and no one that came after me will even bank with this brand.

The Online Citizen

Taking care of the old parents

Wonderful short story posted in www.theonlinecitizen.com

A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and a four-year old grandson. The old man’s hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered. The family ate together nightly at the dinner table. But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass often milk spilled on the tablecloth. The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner at the dinner table. Since grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl. Sometimes when the family glanced in grandfather’s direction, he had a tear in his eye as he ate alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The four-year-old son watched it all in silence.

　　One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?” Just as sweetly, the boy responded, “Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up.” The four-year-old son smiled and went back to work. The words so struck the parents that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done. That evening the husband took grandfather’s hand and gently led him back to the family table.

　　For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled. Children are remarkably perceptive. Their eyes ever observe, their ears ever listen, and their minds ever process the messages they absorb. If they see us patiently provide a happy home atmosphere for family members, they will imitate that attitude for the rest of their lives. The wise parent realizes that every day is being laid for the child’s future.
