    Default extortion by cooperative housing society members

    1. I stayed at Mira road from Dec 1999-Apr 03. The dues are pending only since I moved to Goregaon east in May 2003.
    2. The reasons for moving out of Mira road was harassment by society members.
    a. Lift used to be closed every day from 2-5 pm and from midnight to 7 am which caused problems to me and my daughter. My daughter studied at Goregaon and left house at 5.45 am and reached back at 2.30 pm
    b. I stopped payment just for a month to protest against the closing of the lift.
    c. Because of one months’ payment, my water supply was cut.
    d. I approached police station. Police gave warning to society chairman/secy and sent them away.
    e. Soc members caused lot of mental harassment after this.
    3. I visited the flat every 4-6 months but the bills were not given. I was asked to pay against a fictitious bill.
    4. One single bill with fictitious amount as arrears was given every time I demanded for a bill. I was told that the bills are with the CA.
    5. When I went to clear the payment in 2006, 07 & 08, my cheq was not accepted saying that I have to clear all the arrears.
    6. I could not sell the flat due to the lift and disconnection of water.
    7. I was not allowed to give flat on leave and license. My water connection was cut.
    8. I am pressurized by the society to pay fictitious arrears.
    9. Society is trying to extort money from me.
    10. Lawyer sent a notice to me in November 2007 demanding for approx amount Rs. 40,000/-.
    11. I replied to him asking him for statement of bills to prove the amount of 40000/-
    12. Instead of showing me the documents, society complained to the registrar and got my flat sealed.
    13. I have no idea for what amount the flat has been sealed.
    14. I have spoken to the recovery officer, he admitted that the flat is sealed by him and that the notice sent to me was not delivered to me.
    15. When I checked my current bill today, I was shown a bill of over Rs. 100000. Secretary claimed verbally that the society has bribed various govt. officials to get my house sealed and that amount has been added in my bill.

    It is quite obvious that society is trying to extort money from me to run the society because the people staying there are not paying their dues :

    1. When I was ready to clear the dues, the society demanded some huge amount I am not accountable to pay.
    2. Society does not have my bills and telling me to go to the CA which I don’t have to do.
    3. Strict action must be taken against the society for extortion and false information.

    Sir,

    1. Since you moved to Goregaon have you informed the society in writing giving reason of your daughters education that has forced you to move to Goregaon in May 2003.
    2. Did you register a FIR with the local police station that you water supply is cut. No society is authorised to cut Electricity (except the service provider ie. BEST, MSEB, Reliance Power) or water of a member.
    3. Have you been served a notice by the registrar to explain why your flat should not be sealed and take possession off to pay your society dues. There is procedure to take over a members flat. has it been followed. What you mention is vague.
    If the registrar has acted in an arbitary manner, he being a govt servant is laiable for hte consequences of the same in form of criminal action against the registrar.
    4. what oyu have mentioned in pt no 14. that you have spoken to the recovery officer, he admitted that the flat is sealed by him and that the notice sent to me was not delivered to me. Approach the High Court for redress you will get a solution if what yoou have stated is true and correct.
