regarding broker service.

Dinesh (Querist) 17 September 2014 This query is : Resolved
Dear experts,

We purchased a new house through a corporate real estate broker.

While completing the deal and negotiating with the builder , the agent told us that incase the builder does not give us the discount we were negotiating for, we should go ahead with the purchase as in that case he would give us the amount we were negotiating for with the builder from the commission they will earn from our purchase.

Going with his promise, we purchased the flat. He later gave us in writing from his company email id that he would give us the amount promised after we pay a particular amount to the builder.

Now after having paid more than the amount he asked us to pay, we are yet to get the promised money by the broker.

They say that the person who dealt with us has left the company and they keep delaying the payment, giving us some or the other excuse.

What legal remedy can we have in such a case against the broker company to make him pay the promised amount At the earliest .

Thanking you all in advance for your guidance.

Send legal notice and file case of recovery. You have email with you as proof.

You can also lodge FIR for cheating.

Since the broker is a corporate company also the mail was sent by its employee (broker's) on behalf of the corporate broker through mail, you may issue a legal notice demanding the promised money back to the corporate office (the cmd or owner), wait for his reply and then think about further legal action on the issue.
