$32K Returned to Buyer After Real Estate Company Fails to Deliver
By Raúl A. Bernal for La Prensa - The Conciliation Department of the Consumer Protection Authority in Chiriquí reported that $32,771.51 was returned to Lioudmila Kolmakova Vladimirovna who had filed a complaint against the real estate company Inversiones Laritel. In a buy/sell contract signed between the two to purchase a house a date was stipulated for the completion of the construction of the house, but at the time the complaint was filed work on the house had not yet begun. (Editor's Comment: Everyone should be aware of the existence of the Consumer Protection Authority in Panama - they have the power and clout to force unscrupulous businesses in Panama to do the right thing without having to resort to legal action.)

COMPRA. El Departamento de Conciliación de la Autoridad de Protección al Consumidor y Defensa de la Competencia, en Chiriquí, reportó que se logró la devolución de 32 mil 771 dólares con 51 centésimos a Lioudmila Kolmakova Vladimirovna, quien se quejó contra la inmobiliaria Inversiones Laritel, porque en el contrato de compraventa de la residencia que adquiriría no se estipulaba la fecha de finalización de la obra, y que al momento de presentar su denuncia formal no se había iniciado la construcción.
