Email Questions

-

Salam,

I am very grateful for your support. From the very beginning of this blog I received a lot of email question from the readers. Some are 'legally' oriented and some I guest more on personal matter. I will try my very best to answer these question in timely manner. However, those that I do not answer the question, I am very sorry perhaps some other forum is more appropriate to discuss your matter.

On the other hand, my answers are in general due to limited brief of a particular case and time of legal research done. My weakness, I admit. Should you require more detail consultation you may set up a proper appointment with at ki_my@hotmail.com

Regards,

    Hi,

    I would like to seek your opinion regarding a dispute between an individual and a telco service provider amounting to a sum of about RM4k. Basically, the service provider is charging for supposedly phone calls that were made when the individual was abroad. There were 3 calls made which lasted for more than an hour each time and costing more than RM1k per call. The individual is disputing these calls. Notwithstanding, the various complaints made to the service provider to investigate the matter they have proceeded to hire 3rd party debt collector to harass the individual and threaten legal action. In this case, should the individual go to the small claims court or the tribunal and how much should the claim be?

    In this type of situation, Suruhanjaya Komunikasi is a proper forum for your friend to seek remedy from.

    This is simple because the have more authority as well as expertise in dealing this matter as oppose to court which is subjected to the tedious and lengthy procedure.

Small Claim Court: Do-It-Yourself (DIY)

-
Salam, Last post I have explained on how simple it would be to claim ' dishonored ' cheque from the drawer in court. And now, in this post I am going to show you another simple claim that everybody can do by themselves. It is normally called 'Small Claim Procedure'. So make it easier to understand, let me put it in point form. What is 'small claim procedure'? Small Claim Procedure is where an individual (not agent or company or person holding power attorney or etc) wants to claim from someone else (debt) using court procedure, i.e. suing in court of law. The total amount of claim must not exceeding RM5, 000-00 The claim must be made through summons in Magistrate Court No lawyer can get involve in this small claim proceeding … (that's bad for me…hehehe), everything is done by the plaintiff himself (person who is suing) with the guidance of court (staff). To illustrate, if B owes A RM 5, 000-00 and B refuses to pay, A can sue B in Magistrate court under this ...

Salam, I have one assignment yesterday regarding one poor chap's car repossessed by his financier. His case is straight forward but one that typical type of problem, the brief is simple:- This guy has a car which is still under hire purchase He defaulted for more than 3 months which gave the bank rights to repossess his car under the Hire Purchase Act, and the bank did. The car was kept at one store somewhere in Penang for 2 months pending auction. He however managed to settle his overdue installments (after getting some soft loan from friends) and wanted to bring out his car. Too bad, somehow when he tried to get back his car from the store, he noticed that some (quite substantial) 'things' and parts of his car is no longer intact. He did a complaint to his bank and then lodged a police report. The police due some reasons (God knows why) asked his just to refer back to the bank and had done nothing till date, in fact he was advised by the police to settle the matter direc...
