Query on legal notice

Vibhor (Querist) 06 December 2015 This query is : Resolved
Hi We had a flat which we sold through a broker. At the time of the deal, the broker made the contract but didn't bring the buyer along with him. Few days later, as per the contract 10% of the amount was transferred from brokers account to us. Few weeks later we found there is no buyer by the name mentioned in the contract & broker is playing some game. Few months later, we receive a legal notice from this unknown buyer asking to pay the 10% amount with a 100% interest as we have not furnished the property docs & he could not avail bank loan. The broker too, is asking back for the money . We asked the broker to take back the legal notice & we will pay the same money what we received (10%)- for which he says he doesn't know the buyer or the lawyer. It seems the legal notice itself is a fraud document in this case as there is no person who is mentioned as the buyer. Pls advise what can we do. Thanks

If notice received through any lawyer, reply the same through your lawyer. Send notice to property dealer regarding cancellation of the deal.

Thanks. Yes, it is recieved through a lawyer . Is it possible for the buyer/lawyer to take back the legal notice?

Ask the broker for the revocation of the legal notice and send a letter through his lawyer to that effect.

You have not stated that whether there was any sale agreement made?
If there was no sale agreement made with anyone, the legal notice should be properly replied through a lawyer and also the broker to be warned the consequences for cheating and fraud.
