Chans to keep Everitt house
A FAMILY being sued by their bank for defaulting on their mortgage will get to keep their home in Everitt Road.
Yesterday, DBS Bank withdrew its suit after the Chan family - who gained media notoriety for their longstanding feuds with neighbours - agreed to make regular payments for the outstanding amount.
The bank's lawyer Alfonso Ang said the bank's intention 'had always been to work out an amicable solution with their customers'. DBS had sought to turn the Chans out of their home for allegedly missing payments on a loan, applying for a High Court order to possess the property.
Retiree Chan Cheng Khoon, 74, has lived in the Joo Chiat home for more than 15 years with his wife and one of their daughters.
The debt was owed on a loan from DBS Bank in December 2002 and secured by a mortgage on the house. As of May last year, the family owed the bank more than $200,000.
The Chans made headlines after some widely publicised conflicts with seven families in the neighbourhood from 2004 to 2006. The dispute began over a parking space, but soon escalated into a tit-for-tat turf war involving chains, video cameras and allegations of abuse on both sides. Three of the families have since moved out.
