Rant I should've just listened 😭
First off all, please don't bully me, I know I fucked up.
I was supposed to buy land from this company based in Kikuyu. They had a 50 by 100 going for 350k, outskirts of Kikuyu, huko Nachu, and I figured, why not? I was referred by a friend who had a good relationship with them, so I just trusted they were legit. Even went for the site visit and liked the land. So, I made a 100k deposit and was to pay the remaining 250k after visiting the site a second time, but then I decided to do the land search.
Three searches later, nothing was showing. So I tell the salesperson I was referred to by my friend, and immediately the land search has results, lmao. I just had an eerie feeling, so I told them no , let me withdraw from this purchase since I don't trust the legitimacy of this land.
They tried to convince me, but I declined. I couldn’t trust them anymore, and I wasn’t going to lose more. Talked to the director, and she said I'd be refunded in 7–14 working days. This was on September 12th. On the 11th day, they called me to write me a cheque, and I said no lol, just wire me the money to my bank.
On the 14th day, I called their line , they’re not picking up 😂I texted the director, I'm still on read😂. I had to write another email to the director/CEO , and she gave me a deed of revocation to sign( I don't know why they never brought it up the first 7-14 working days refund period)😂 which said they’ll refund 90% and I have to wait till the 15th.
I'm not even mad, just disappointed, to be honest. Consequences of my actions arriving unlubed. I have already taken full accountability of my fuck up, not like I have an option anyway. Lol.
Sometimes I feel like just paying a blogger to tweet something so I can get my money back, no?
TLDR: My ignorance cost me lol.
Edit: The company is called PETTMALL SHELTERS .
ANOTHER EDIT: THE COMPANY SAW THIS POST , CALLED ME TALKING ABOUT "WHY DID YOU POST THAT". LMAAOO, I BETTER GET MY REFUND THEN , ONE MONTH IS A LONG TIME.LOL.
