We didnt join this forum for fun we just wanted to confirm there are problems going on.Any English person visiting the resorts know what Egyptian men are like so this person was not telling us anything we didnt know we have visited often enough.I find it very unfair to label this person trouble or mad if she is only telling the truth.Is there anyone else on this forum who live in Maraqia.If so we would be glad to hear your comments if your not frightened of ending up in the police station.

If im honest Jo, i really dont think Bella is going to be much good as a going out partner, seems far to serius up to me (must still be in England i guess). By the way do you know how to delete a post i put my foot in it about leecy bills earlier. Done a pm to kev and it came up as normal post. Keeps happening. Think i covered myself though made out i was talking about a tap

Dear All,

I have received a phone call and an email from the developer of Maraquia Resort, since I have been the lawyer who prepared the Due Diligence Report and the standard contract for the development, and I have been the lawyer who prepared the contract for the original poster of this thread.

The developer has asked me to clarify some points on its behalf, in reply to the points Mrs. Green has written in this thread.

First of all, and in prior to going into details, the developer wants to emphasize their great respect for any client in any of its developments. Mrs. Green is no exception to this rule, but there are some facts the developer would like to shed light on.

Facts:

Mrs. Green's contract was articulated as of 14 / April / 2010, and she has been to the developer as of December 2010, apologizing for having insufficient funds to settle the agreed amounts on their due dates, asking for an extension, which the developer has accepted, and consequently a new agreement has been signed, elucidating new payment dates, and facilitating the payment process, after Mrs. Green has paid a reduced amount than the agreed originally.

Mrs. Green has acknowledged settling the remainder via back cheques, illustrated as follows:

1- EGP 104,770, via cheque number 00503697 - HSBC Bank - Nabq Branch - Sharm el Sheikh. The cheque's due date was 03 / March / 2011.

2- EGP 104,770, via cheque number 00503698 - HSBC Bank - Nabq Branch - Sharm el Sheikh. The cheque's due date was 03 / April / 2011.

3- EGP 20,000, via cheque number 00503700 - HSBC Bank - Nabq Branch - Sharm el Sheikh. The cheque's due date was 31 / January / 2011, representing maintenance fees.

Problems started when the aforementioned cheques have bounced. There are clear clauses in clients' contracts elucidating procedures in the event of failure in payment.

According to the developer, Mrs. Green has been very upset with the developer when it was mentioned that penalties will apply, and at the same day of the the first bounced cheque Mrs. Green has accused one of the security employees working in the development with a heinous accusation, which the police has later dismissed for being non founded, and the accused employee, according to the developer again, has always been known as a man of honour, and a good family man, who is working hard to provide for his family, and certainly not the type of men who would commit sexual harassment against anyone, and especially not someone with an Egyptian spouse, since that act would have caused him troubles and consequences he wouldn't be able to handle.

The developer has taken it further, presented the bounced cheques to the public prosecutor, and they've gone to court, and as a result of the the aforementioned, three court imprisonment verdicts were issued against Mrs. Green. The original copies of verdicts are ready to illustrate for whomever it may concern if need be. Court verdicts are "Title of The Truth" in Egyptian laws, and they can be published anywhere since they represent a fair and just court deliberation resulting in those verdicts.

Now my part comes, since I have felt the situation was getting awkward, and I actually feel some sort of a strange 'bond' with people I prepare contracts for, and as it has come to my attention that the situation has escalated to that level I have requested Mrs. Green's phone number from the developer, in order to discuss with her how to sort out the situation amicably, without hurting anyone's reputation, and the request was granted. Subsequently I called Mrs. Green on phone two months ago approximately, and she has kindly offered sending me her lawyer's phone number in order to discuss the situation with, but unfortunately the number was not sent until the date of this post.

Please note that up till the date of this post the developer has not applied the contractual penalties on Mrs. Green, but the developer finds it utterly unacceptable to utilize internet forums as a pressure tool, and the developer is offering showing the court verdicts which are ready now to execute.

In addition to the above mentioned, the developer has documented this thread which is deemed defamation, especially in relevance to the bounced cheque's issue, and to the issue of accusing an honourable employee with a heinous crime, and has established an internet defamation case, registered with the Cyber Crime Department, Ministry of Interior, Cairo, entitling the developer the right to claim compensation, on top of the criminal charge against the perpetrator.

Please note that the developer's intention was and will never be to get involved with legal troubles with any client, since all clients are genuinely respected, but the developer finds it extremely unfair and unacceptable that they have facilitated the payments further for Mrs. Green, only to get the cheques bounced, and later to find this thread smearing the developer's reputation unjustifiably, especially when the intention was to assist Mrs. Green with her payments.

All the best,

Zeiad Yehia

On behalf of Maraquia Resort's developer.
