I gert dirty looks if I go to the pool to swim or exercise, we get told we need to put our boots inside instead of outside our door in our opening, when everyone ELSE has their boots outside their door... we're not allowed to take the kids out to the pool at certain times of the day - which *happen* to be the only time of day we can take the kids, other than weekends, we've had our van's sides knocked by doors too often, there's a bunch of little marks...

we get calls here at all hours of the night, for stupid little things... we've had to give away our kittens, our cleaning lady comes very sparadically - it's supposed to be every week, she's come maybe a grand total of 8 times since MARCH...

we have an agreement - we do X, they give us Y.

We've been doing X, as well as A,B and C - and we've gotten Z, which is a crappy version of Y.

Anyone still following? Anyways... part of the agreement is we get a cottage, and the land it's on, put in our names - we'd only have to pay the taxes.

Now, we're only getting the rights to build on the land... we have to build the dang thing ourselves. What if we build, then decide to sell 5 years down the road? WHO, in their right mind, will buy a cottage and not the land it's built on? hello?

so I asked if then they'd pay to have it built, since that was the original agreement, and since they're not givig us the land, why would we want to build on it?they said no. So now, we can build our cottage there and risk losing $$ if they decide to re-take the land, or not build and not get what was "promosed".

I'm SOOOOO close to packing up and ggoing home... this has been a 3/4 year of absolute he**.

C&K*s Mommie replied: hope that something gives in either of these areas for you guys.

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: Talk about the short end of the stick. Did you have a written agreement or a verbal? Either way, if you were promised one thing and it hasn't been delivered, you should seek some kind of recompense. Talk to a lawyer. Sometimes all that is needed is a letter threatening action. Not really even the action. Aaron writes "threat letters" all the time.

kimberley replied: yikes that does not sound like a wonderful arrangement sorry you have to deal with this crap

MamaJAM replied: That stinks that they won't keep their end of the deal!

A&A'smommy replied: I'm sorry Rocky!!! Its not right that they did you that way!!!

coasterqueen replied: I guess I'm not following . Who did you have an agreement with regarding the land, the apartment complex? Sorry, I can be a bit slow at times.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: It's an agreement with the owners of the company. When we originally came here before the summer, certain things were offered to us - since we were giving up a lot over there. We don't have as high a salary as other people in our positions, because we get free rent, our daycare is paid, we have a % of the company's profits every month, a cottage, and it goes on. It's in our work agreement. Certain benefits, such as the cottage and the percentage, is in the "personal" files of the owners, not in our work contract - because the owners of the company are 80% DH"s godmother, 5 percent each for 3 cousins, and 5% for the spouse of one cousin.

We have a percentage now as well - out of the godmother's %.


We had to decide back last February... I went to school, was suppsoed to get paid 35 hours a week and then after schooling was done, repay in hours (extra hour of work a day) until repaid. So I did 350 something hours at school (about 2 1/2 months), never once got paid for it... but I came here to go to school while dh worked - I could have stayed at the government an extra 2 months and gotten 4800$ net rather than ZERO. Which is one reason we're deeper in debt... we went through a huge chunk of our savings.

The agreement was suppsoed to be a monetary - goods - value of nothing less than what we were getting before we moved... and we are getting less... we're getting deeper in debt every month. Partially because I've only been clearing 800$ the last 3 months, but still. We get our percentage cheque... but we put most of it aside, we don't touch it - we're most likely going to be putting it all in RRSPs this year. We spent some in 2005 to be able to pay stuff off... but this year (2006) we're going to be really stngy and save up as much as we can to get rid of ALL our debt.

I can't wait for the 3600$ (taxable though) that's coming to us - apparently our new government is supposed to give 1200$ to each family for each child under 12!! That will be nice... we can pay off part of another credit card, yay.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: Rocky I'm so sorry. That really sucks they aren't holding up their end of the bargain.

There is NO way, NO how that I would EVER build on a piece of land that someone else owned. Seriously, this happened to some friends of mine. Their family built 2 lake houses and rented the land from another family. They lived there for 25 years and the son of the rentee decided when his parents died that HE wanted the land. He took the land, tore down their houses and built a gigantic home all for himself (with the money they had been paying in rent all these years, I'm sure) They were heartbroken.

Hillbilly Housewife replied:
That's MY argument as to why they should have to pay... it's not like they don't have the money.

fashionmumofboys replied: Sorry, Rocky that you are going through this kind of stuff. That's just awful. If there is an Agreement in place, why are they not sticking to it.
