Good day to all.
Nagpaayos po ako ng sasakyan, at first they qouted me 25k dun sa dapat ipapaayos ko lang, kaso nung mabuksan nila nagdagdag sila ng another 20k (that makes it a total of 45k) for a certain repair I didn't plan at all. I didn't have a choice since the car was being disassembled already but to go on with the repair and give the price their asking. Nadala rin ako ng mga magagandang salita nila na pulido sila magtrabaho. So tiwala talaga ako, kaya everytime their asking for a downpayment lagi akong nabibigay hanggang sa nakabayad ako ng 30k pero sobrang minimal pa ng natatapos sa kotse, umabot pa kami sa arguements, nagkasamaan ng loob. Pati pagpipintura hindi matapos tapos hanggat hindi ako nagbibigay ng additional downpayment, kaya napilitan ako magbigay ng 5k. After 6mos mula ng dinala ko dun ang aking sasakyan, tinawagan nila ako dahil ready for pickup na daw. Pinuntahan ko kaagad kaso ang dami pang hindi nakakabit sa kotse, very dissapponting talaga. The paint is such a mess, hindi pantay pantay mga body panels, marami sa scope of job nila ang hindi nagawa. Ayoko na sana bayaran yung natitirang balance na 10k but they forced me or they will not release the car, so I paid 5k and we agreed.
Since the car is not in a very good condition I had to ask another shop to tow it and bring to their shop and also to examine the repair done by the previous shop and to my surprise, napaka daming sira ng sasakyan na dapat ko pang ipagawa para lang magamit at mapaandar.
I filed a case already to DTI. There were summons for mediation and arbitration but none of those were attended by them and until now Im still waiting for their decision.
Got impatient with the DTI, I filed a estafa case to the procecutors office in the municipality of the shop. I was informed na admin case daw yung sa DTI at criminal case yung sa procecutors office.
My question is
1. May laban po kaya ako sa estafa case?
2. What are the possible juriditial remedies? What should I expect?
3. Gaano katagal inaabot ang estafa case?
4. Sa first hearing ng fiscal's office eh hindi parin talaga sila napunta, kaya ba nila paikutin ang situation kung may kilala sila kahit hindi sila napunta?
Please enlighten me attorney. Thank you and God Bless.
