Fraud By Franchisor

 

On 4th may 2010, I applied for a franchise of immigration services co Mataflex Technologies in Chandigarh. The franchisee manager during our discussion confirmed to me that I have to pay only Rs 1 lac as one time fee. On her confirmation that I have to pay only Rs 1 lac one time I paid Rs 50,000 same day itself . The payment was made through my father's credit card. The franchise document was mentioning the tenure as one year but the franchisee manager told me that she will make the cutting in the document after consulting her legal advisor and asked me to sign on right hand side of clause so that after cutting she will counter sign on the cutting. On our second visit to chandigarh, we made the balance payment of Rs 50000 through my father's credit card but we were not given the franchise document.Few days later I received the copy of agreement without any changes . On inquiring I was given a lame excuse. On my third visit, I came to know that the agreement is for one year only.I was shocked after hearing this. I was fooled into signing the franchise agreement by giving false / wrong information and fraudalently. The agreement states that any dispute arising would be in jurisdiction of Chandigarh where as I am based in Faridabad, haryana. Also it states that the fee paid is non- refundable. Kindly guide how can I claim back my money from this company and take them to court for doing a fraud with me? Under which sections can I book them for fraud, wrong commitment and mental  and financial harressment?

1. Your relief is in filing a Specific Performance Suit and in nothing else is my opinion.


2. You need a criminal advocate for further discussion and you are still within Limitation to file one such suit in P & H as the contract says all disputes to be settled in their Jurisdiction.


You will succeed.

How you came to know about the company. Any advt or direct mailing collect all the information.

Any reciept issued for money collected , if not get it  now.

And therefter file a  police complaint for cheating at your local police station.

If they do not act, file a private complaint. Get a good advocate to to it.
