The client was a small business owner who had been working with the debtor, a supplier, for over five years. When the debtor offered a discounted bulk order for raw materials, the client eagerly transferred SGD $84,000 upfront to secure the deal. The debtor promised delivery within four weeks. However, weeks turned into months, and the materials never arrived. The debtor claimed logistical issues and promised multiple times to deliver but ultimately stopped responding to the client’s calls and emails.
The situation left the client in a precarious position. Without the raw materials, the client risked delays in his own business operations, jeopardizing key contracts and damaging his reputation. Realizing the severity of the situation, the client contacted JMS Rogers for professional assistance.
Our team initiated a thorough investigation into the debtor’s operations. It was discovered that the debtor’s company was facing significant financial troubles, with funds being diverted to settle older debts and maintain other failing projects. Armed with this information, JMS Rogers reached out to the debtor. Initially evasive, the debtor denied wrongdoing and claimed that the delays were beyond his control. However, JMS Rogers presented clear evidence of the transaction, including payment records, emails, and a signed order confirmation.
Understanding the potential legal and reputational consequences, the debtor finally conceded. JMS Rogers negotiated a structured repayment plan, ensuring the client recovered the full amount over eight months. To prevent further issues, JMS Rogers also advised the client on alternative suppliers and strategies to mitigate future risks.
