Caution money refund policy fraud Caution money refund policy fraud

8 months ago

I have completed 6months bond in a private hostel. And they are asking me to give them slip personally rather than sending it on Whatsapp. Refund won't be processed until I give them slip personally.

A.Dear Client,
It appears that the hostel owner is trying to avoid documented delivery of slips to deprive you of your right to claim of refund of caution money which is amounted to unfair trade practice with ulterior motives. In the prevailing situation, you need to serve a legal notice to the hostel owner and then file a complaint u/s.35 of CPA, 2019 against the Hostel Owner for deficiency in service and unfair trade practice claiming a refund of caution money along with compensation for harassment and mental agony. The complaint should be filed within two years from the date of the cause of action,i.e, denial of refund of caution money. Reach out to an Advocate for guidance and steps.

A.Dear client,
Refusing to return caution money amounts to deficiency in services . File complaint before Consumer Forum and claim amount of caution money along with compensation towards mental and physical agony. Serve them a legal notice and thereafter take them to the consumer commission
