Kelvin Ng being Kelvin Ng

We went through a small claim tribunal consultation session with Kelvin Ng during mid May.

He agreed to refund all the out-standing payment during the consultation session.

Following payment schedule was agreed by Kelvin Ng and binded in Order of Tribunal:

- 1st payment - 50% of total amount by 30May'09
- 2nd payment - 50% of total amount by 30Jun'09

Again, the entry below are constructed base on facts like court order, documents and SMS exchange between Kelvin Ng and us.

From there, the same old experience begun.

1.) 29May'09 - We received a check from Kelvin, being the 1st payment for refund and compensation.

2.) 30May'09 - We deposited the check (not sure if it's Kelvin's account anyway).

3.) 02Jun'09 - Check returned. Reason for return: "Refer to Drawer". For those who know the game, it is quite straightforward to know that what actually happened. Kelvin Ng agreed to transfer the money to our account using Internet banking instead.

4.) 05Jun'09 - Received 25% of total amount in our account. Transaction code = "CAM", which means "Cash Deposit Machine". If the code is correct, then the money was not transferred using Internet banking. However, remaining of 1st payment was supposed to be deposited to my account within 1 day or 2 (06Jun'09 ~ 07Jun'09) via Internet banking.

5.) 10Jun'09 - Remaining 1st payment (25% of total amount) were not received. Kelvin Ng mentioned that he would check with bank on the progress. According to Kelvin Ng, Internet transfer would take another 1 ~ 2 days to complete (by 11 ~ 12Jun'09)

6.) 12Jun'09 - Remaining 1st payment (25% of total amount) were not received. Kelvin Ng mentioned that he would deposit the money to my account using cash deposit machine by 13Jun'09.

7.) 13Jun'09 - Remaining 1st payment (25% of total amount) were not received. Kelvin Ng claimed that there was problem with fund transfer from his client, hence he couldn't withdraw any cash. Kelvin Ng asked to wait until Monday.

8.) 15Jun'09 - Remaining 1st payment (25% of total amount) were not received. Kelvin Ng mentioned that he was sick.

9.) 16Jun'09 - Remaining 1st payment (25% of total amount) were not received. 1st payment was delayed for 16 days.

So as of now, we only receive half of the first payment. On top of that, a returned check, several delays and couple of technical faults from reputable banks (such a coincidence!!).

I am really getting a little puzzled with what Kelvin Ng said nowadays. On 12Jun'09, according to Kelvin Ng, the money was ready to be deposited to my account the next day. However, within 24 hours, all the money disappeared and he would need to wait for his owner's fund.

Hence my conclusion, based on my experience so far: please exert more caution when dealing with Kelvin Ng on monetary and scheduling issue.

Being friendly is one thing, delivering result is another.
