The home improvement contract didn’t make it clear that the owner’s 20 thousand decoration balance was 90 thousand

　　Many people have worked hard for most of their lives just to buy a house of their own and live a comfortable life with their families. After buying a house, decoration naturally becomes the most important thing.

　　But in the face of decoration, many people are puzzled, especially in the choice of decoration companies and construction teams, there will be some misunderstandings more or less. Not only did you spend money in vain, but you also made a lot of anger. Recently, Mr. Wen, who lives in Haowangling, Dongke, encountered such a troublesome thing.

　　Two expenses for buying a house in renovation contract. The salesman said it was a sum.

　　The 44-year-old Mr. Wen is a member of the three religions. A year ago, he bought a new house in the city to facilitate his children to attend primary school. Since I was working in a foreign country, I left the home decoration to my wife.

　　"At that time, there were many decoration companies engaged in activities in the community. When they saw the right price and integration, they signed the contract." Mr. Wen said that there is also a fellow villager of the three religions who bought a house with him. After several comparisons, both of them took a fancy to a design company named "Youshao Architectural Decoration".

　　Under the introduction of the staff, they learned that this decoration company has just opened and is launching a series of preferential activities. It only needs to pay more than 60,000 yuan to get the design and decoration together, and the rest will not be charged any fees. Considering that the children should be renovated as soon as possible after school starts, Mr. Wen’s wife immediately signed the contract.

　　Mr. Wen said that when his wife signed the contract, she noticed that there were two expenses on it, one was the decoration fee and the other was the design fee, both of which were 66,300 yuan. "Not to say that just pay a sum of money is enough? How come there are two more here? " After asking questions, the salesman explained that this was actually an expense.

　　At that time, because all aspects were suitable, Mr. Wen’s wife signed the contract without much concern.

　　There are many problems

　　The actual decoration is different from the salesman’s promise.

　　After the contract was signed, the decoration company began to arrange the construction team to carry out the decoration. During this period, Mr. Wen paid the first two payments twice, and the remaining 20,000 pieces were delivered after acceptance.

　　"I went home several times on the way, either there is a problem here or there is a problem." Mr. Wen said that during the renovation of the workers, he and his wife visited the house several times and found that there was a certain discrepancy with the situation promised by the salesman at that time. "The five-in-one latex paint has become two-in-one, and the good brand door has no trademark, and the wrapping material on the wall has also changed from solid wood to PVC."

　　After several tests, Mr. Wen felt more and more wrong. Why is it completely different from what he said at the beginning? He went to the salesman to ask for an explanation, but the other party was always vague, just saying that it was really impossible to refund the difference.

　　"The boards in the wardrobe are all broken, and it is definitely not solved by returning the difference or changing the board." Mr. Wen said that the contract did not specify the commencement and completion time. Originally, it was promised that it would be completed within July. However, due to the contradiction in the decoration, the problem was delayed again and again. Seeing that the child is about to start school, he is also very anxious. "I suspect this is a scam."

　　Contradictory accumulation

　　The decoration company now takes consumers to court.

　　Mr. Wen, who felt cheated, became more and more angry, and made it clear to the decoration company that if the problem could not be solved, the remaining 20 thousand yuan would not be paid. As a result, the contradictions between the two sides have deepened.

　　In September last year, Mr. Wen thought that his children were about to start school, and his portable family moved to a new house. Unexpectedly, this move has been regarded as qualified in the contract.

　　"The baby wants to study, what if I don’t live in?" Mr. Wen said that at that time, he asked the other party to rent a place for himself temporarily, and after solving the decoration problem, he paid off the balance, but this request was rejected by the other party. In desperation, he had to bite the bullet and live in.

　　This end of the decoration is not satisfied, and the other end is urging the final payment. The problem has not been solved again and again, and the delay is half a year. Not long ago, the decoration company took Mr. Wen to court on the grounds that he did not pay the final payment. But the most puzzling thing came. In the lawsuit received, Mr. Wen’s unpaid balance of 20,000 yuan turned out to be more than 90,000 yuan.

　　"At that time, when I asked, I said it was a sum, and now I say that the two expenses as above are separate." Mr. Wen said that because the salesman who signed the contract for himself at that time had left his job, the statement given by the company was very different from that at that time, and the agreed fee became two.

　　embarrassing incidents

　　The salesman said that the two parties misunderstood the two payments.

　　"Everything must be honest, and we must never let it go." Regarding the company’s lawsuit, Mr. Wen said that it has only been less than half a year since he moved in, and the house has already started to have problems such as paint peeling, foaming, and poor wardrobe closure. He had the same experience as Ms. Xiang, a fellow villager who signed the contract together at that time.

　　Afterwards, the reporter contacted Mr. You, the salesman who signed the contract at that time. Regarding Mr. Wen’s doubts in the renovation process, he said that when the other party was dissatisfied with the renovation results, the company also indicated that it was willing to replace some furniture parts, but the other party asked for all the new ones. The company failed to agree, and the two sides have been deadlocked until today.

　　"At that time, the company just opened and its management was not perfect." Mr. You said that the terms of the contract were all formulated by the company’s special personnel, and he was not particularly clear about the payment. When signing the contract, both parties misunderstood the above two sums, which caused this "Oolong" incident. But from the understanding level at that time, the two expenses on the contract were actually one.

　　In this regard, the reporter also called the person in charge of the decoration company, Mr. Zhang. The other party explained that because the salesman was no longer in the company at that time, the company was not clear about the negotiation process when the two sides signed the contract. As for the payment and acceptance, the company only follows the contract. At present, the judicial process is already in progress, and all the results have to wait for the court’s ruling.

　　Lawyer’s statement >

　　Confirm every detail of the contract before signing it

　　In the summer, Chongqing Xueyuan Law Firm suggested that when signing a contract with a decoration company, citizens must read and understand each clause carefully, especially the part involving the payment and the total delivery price. If they don’t understand it, they must confirm it with the relevant person in charge before signing it, so as to avoid unnecessary contradictions caused by the contents of the contract in the future and protect their legitimate rights and interests.
