WINGS OF ARABIA by ACI

[ani3333]

I hear you!

These people have been telling misleading statements to say the least .

By Aug 08 I have paid 35% of my one bedroom apartment. They insisted on paying the due 10% according to the old schedule (was due in Nov 08) despite my requests to reschedule the payments due to the undisputable fact that they are more than 18 months late!

Anyways, I paid the 10% & now my paymouts total to a 45%. They rescheduled by linking the next payment to the start of basements, which i believe is too early for me to start paying again. Frankly I lost trust in ACI & i will be visiting their offices soon to better understand what their future plans are.

My belief is that unless we buyers unite & confront them this project will never see the light & all of our hard earned investment money will go down the drains....

suggestions?

Please dont be in any hope that ACI is gonna start Wings of arabia.Through my sources I got a news that 99% chances that ACI might cancel Wings of arabia .I guess all of us should get together and go through the legal proceedings as I am not interested in this project and jus want my hard earned money bak.

Hi, I too invested in Wings of Arabia and am interested to know if anybody has any success with refunds from this project. I have confronted ACI and had many arguments in their office to try and get my money back but no joy. I have also been to RERA and the Land Department countless times and explained the whole situation of no construction and too much money being demanded. The sheikh who i spoke to knows ACI very well and confirmed that the plot had been handed over and they have no excuses not to have started construction. This entitles us to 100% of our money back. We need to file a complaint at the property courts. I am going to do this at the beginning of next week. If anybody else would like to join me and file a case, please contact me on 0508520362

i was also in ACI office last month with no success and i think we will not see our money back because they dont have it.they used our money buying plots and now the prices have sunk so they can not sell them and building a plot is out of question.They are in debt of 500 mllion dirham only from investors in Germany
so it will be defficult to take out our money from them if we go individually. if anyone want to form a group count me also in ACTIVELY

Hi all,

I also purchased a 2bed in Wings of Arabia. I've followed up with them many times to try to find out when they will be starting the project but I keep getting told that they will start by the end of the current month! They seem to just be stalling me.

They have told me I can exchange the money I have invested for another apartment in a different building but the prices are x4 higher than market price!

what is everyone planning on doing? I am willing to join any group petition to the courts. Should we all meet up to discuss how to take this forward?

Hi guys, pursuant to my earlier post, the first step is to get together and draft a 'letter before action'. Once this has been done and sent by registered mail to the developer giving them a set period of time to respond, then further steps towards formal litigation of the dispute can take place.

The letter is the first step, however, as it starts a paper chain that can be presented to the court.

If anyone wants to discuss this please let me know and we can set up a call if you wish.

please tell us what will be your charges to write such a letter and first of all i think
we must form a group of ACI (wings of Arabia)form and then elect one person
who will lead the group and the others must follow him. so if anyone has any suggestion please write and we can also interact with each other in skype
so waiting for your suggestions

I would need to see the relevant documents to give a more precise quote. However, I expect that a letter would be a 4-6,000 dirhams to prepare (depending on the complexity of the issues and the number of documents that we'd need to review). This would set out a specific list of questions to be answered by the developer and highlight how they are in breach of relevant laws.

If no response is received within the given time frame (we usually allow 10 working days) then we notify the developer that we will progress the matter with RERA. In previous cases that I have dealt with, the developer will usually give some sort of reply and try to answer the questions posed to defend their position. The advantage of this is that it starts a dialogue with the developer and if they respond to the letter, it may mean that they're willing to negotiate in an attempt to settle the dispute.

You could try to write such a letter yourself but, in my experience, the developer will simply ignore demands for refunds for indivudal investors without representation (remember they're probably getting tens if not hundreds of such demands). The advatange of engaging a law firm is that it demonstrates to the developer that you're serious in pursuing the matter.

Hi
I have also invested in wings of arabia - have given 25% as downpayment... let me know what the plan is.

 

[raf_evo]

Does anyone here know if ACI / Wings of Arabia has it's very own Escrow account with RERA? This is not the same thing as ACI having one escrow for all projects. I looked back at some of my payments / wire transfer receipts and one went to National Bank of Abu Dhabi, while some others went to some Dubai entity called Bank of Emirates...

There are about 15 people complaining and ready to take action...

Let us get together!!!

Below is the answer I just received from ACI, does everyone here got the same letter? Let us get together to :boxing: instead of individule...

Hi,

Hi all,

I have spoken to a lot of you about the problems we are facing with ACI and there are few of us now looking to take things forward via legal proceedings. If you would like to join us please call me on 050 1898616. If we move forward jointly as a group we are likely to have more influence than if each of us independently try to take this forward.

Regards,

D.

Hi Needhelp,
i will call you after Eid and than we will discuss how to proceed or are you in the process? how many investors have joined together sofar?because legal action
is definitly not cheap in Dubai but if we have many investors together willing to
take legal action than first we have to write their names and the units which they have booked and then make a group page in yahoo where we can exchange our emails because every investor has different opinion.Some investors may not in favour of legal action as it takes too long but when we get together we can discuss all about it, if better just drop them a letter and wait for their response so that ACI knows that there are people who want their hard earned money back.
there are only two ways for ACI either starting construction in one month or Refund the paid amount, because no body i think will want to exchange.
In my opinion we have mopre chances of getting our money back but first we have to join together.

with regards
Djaan
