PI : Car kingdom Boss runaway

[Empire90]

Allan Poh , Owner of car kingdom now not to be found . Mr Lee S T trade his 3 yrs old getz for a 08 fit . He got his car on time but now have to pay for his old getz and new fit monthly installment . Mr Lee hand over a $11,000 cheque to Allan poh to settle his getz outstanding but it was not done . It was until a few months later that the bank call Mr Lee up for late payment . Now Allan Poh couldnt be contacted and car kingdom office is close down .

 

To make things worst , the exporter who bought the car from car kingdom now got the getz stuck in port as the vehicle was not dereg therefore could not export without proper doc.

 

Bros out there , before you buy your ride from PIs , do a check with their reputations . Car kingdom had a good record of not paying his staff salary . Got a friend who quit last year because of this . Also remember if you have a car to trade in , ask for the settlement receipt , as usually they will settle with the bank before the figure jump (Within a month) .

 

But still there are always good PIs around , so dont be dishearten if you wan to buy from PIs . We have good PIs in our sponser threads and you can always ask me or more senior bros for advise .

"Mr Lee hand over a $11,000 cheque to Allan poh to settle his getz outstanding but it was not done"

 

Is it not true that in cases like this, we should issue the cheque payable to the finance company/bank instead of the PI/car dealer?

 

Are there any genuine/valid circumstances which warrant otherwise?

 

Just like we should issue cheque payable to the insurance company to pay our insurance premium. There were cases when the cheques are issued to the insurance agents, but they simply pocketed the money and did not pass it to the insurers, and hence there were no insurance cover at all.

Did he run with his pants down?

 

Wise man said

"women in skirts run faster than men with pants down"

[Genie47]

Me too!

[Empire90]

Nope , as bank only accept cashier order . You can opt to open cashier order to the bank and if there is any remaining balance to be open by the PI or agent .
