JJJ, I was young and naive like you once. I have learned you can't trust Koreans. Yes, they are warm and friendly but they are most definitely materialistic, greedy and spiritually hollow. They act like they want to hug you only so that they can smile in your face while they wrap their arms...

That's good to know....the "little" compensation can be used for the lawyer fees everyone has to pay to get their money back.

You know what the irony is in all of this? I asked my lawyer if we are entitled to the interest accrued from the deposits held during these past few years. He said no, if the interest rate is below a certain rate then they don't give it to us and it goes into their law society fund. So we get...

Don't have the letters on me (may have thrown it out) but I believe I got a letter late 2012 saying the new date was 2016. Not surprised you didn't get it. Throughout the project, I found that some buyers were getting updates and some weren't, myself included. This was quite a frustrating...

Interesting news. I just received in the mail the application record that was filed to the Ontario Court by bratty. Its a big binder filled with correspondence between bratty, meerai cho, the developer and GCNA. I don't know why it was sent to me and not my lawyer but it gives me a very good...

I got the 4 letters of evidence of deposit compliance too but I'm still going to check anyways. Anyways, someone just messaged me that he got a response from his lawyer that the court hearing is on Sept. 2nd. Feel better now that everyone seems to be getting the same info. Just wish my...

Thanks to all who responded. I feel better now knowing Meerai Cho is dealing with the commercial side although I feel bad for all those who have to deal with her. I know I'm not out of the woods yet until I have my deposit back, but so far I haven't heard anything negative about Bratty. Is...

Thanks jckho, Can your lawyer actually confirm that your deposit is held with bratty and the exact amount (for now I am not concerned about the release funds, rather I just want to know if my money in full is actually in the trust account)? It appears that your lawyer is getting more info than...

dmkyu, didn't you get your money back already according to your previous posts?

This can't be happening How do you know this? Specifically, how do you know Meerai Cho gave the money to the developer and that the developer fled (although this doesn't surprise me)? I am equally frustrated and also fear the worst but some things you've written are either wrong or out of...

anyone else get their deposit back??? Hey Luxome, My money is being held by bratty's too. I went to my lawyer early june and still no response from bratty up until now. So I got fed up and called bratty's directly this week and they gave me the run around by telling me to contact my lawyer...

Does anyone know if what the builder did is allowed? From my understanding, the project was pretty much sold out or sold to the point that they could start construction. What took 4-5 years for them to realize that they couldn't proceed with the project? If they couldn't secure financing...

I've tried Jenny Fulton and it'd be nice if she'd return my phone calls. Called Tarion too and I don't know what's worse, talking to someone useless or talking to an answering machine.

I am going to email Mark Weisleder who writes a real estate column in the Toronto Star newspaper. Doubt anything will come of it but who knows...maybe if there's some publicity, something will happen. Just really annoyed at how the industry is so severely skewed in the builder's favour.

I also bought into this very disappointing and crappy project. I understand the builder can sell off/cancel the project without the buyer's permission but aren't there any laws that require the previous or current builder to give some sort of notice to the buyers as to what is going on? It's...
