Recently I have done some renovation work, I was cheated by the designer the name Vencia Inc Pte Ltd / Vencia Incorporation. He has taken the advance payment from me, he was not responded to me after got the 60% advance payment. The phone line terminated and the office has closed down.
I feel very sad and I think I have to take some action on him. What is action could I take against him ?
renovation
when one meets shitty contractor that is it.
can turn out to be having more problems after renovation.
Go CASE ask what can be done
how much?
forget about case.....go straight to small claim tribunal....
the sad state of affair here in sg
renovator/contractor
- claim approved from BCA, REDAC etc,....words only, cant produce or has no document to back up what he claims.
- collect downpayment.....and disappeared to other jobs for weeks or months.
- claim experience, reputable but get bangalas to do the job.
- conman salesman registered as a company to cheat unaware consumer by ordering cheaply from factory and inflated the price thru his own sales invoice.
etc etc .......
worse if you have former BCA people resigned to set up contractors company and may be in a way has connection with the ....................
they can be problem generator.
go renotalk

Thank you for all your advice. My renovation value S$65k, I paid Vencia S$40k. Actually I have suspected on him, I asked him whether he faced financial difficulty, he denied said your amount just a small amount, this is small money. I m really stupid !
The payment is by 30%, 30%. Why I paid him second 30%, due to he bring all the sub contractor here to take a measure on the thing, after that he said to me, he needs deposit to pay for those people. I refused to pay but he said if he didn't receive second pymt the job will delay. I just want to finish the renovation work on time. Then I cheated by him. This person is not easy person !
I hope he will not cheat other person will become next victim.
I would like to tell all Singaporean not to cheat by this company. If you check on this company website, there are still there. Vencia Inc Pte Ltd is register under husband name, Vencia Incorporation is register under wife name. It is very tricky.
go ROC to check if this company is a registered company.
If it is not then you can do something about it.
