I met with salwan manager to discuss what happens to the excess service charge I paid (I paid 21.75 - the excess is now credited to my next bill) and she shared with me that the fact of the matter is that around 300 staff lost thier job at DP/salwan/idama last year. That's why there is less security, no response from the link, longer response time for techinical visits and lower service charges (in part). I suppose the saying "You cant have your cake & eat it too" applies.

In topic:  NEW SERVICE CHARGE FEES 15.3 AED,  jadek wrote:

I was told the same 15.30 when I called the link to request a service, i have emailed the RA on tuesday asking for confirmation but they have not responded which seems odd to me. Their efforts have resulted in a 6 AED drop in salwans rate and that is a significant achievement considering who we are dealing with. Still i would like to see this rate confimred in writing and would also like to know how the excess amount i paid (i paid 21.75 to complete my title deed at year end) will be refunded.

In topic:  Title Deed Registration with the Dubai Land Department,  jadek wrote:

went to do the title registration today (zoo anyone!) and was not able to complete it because I have an outstanding amount with salwan for service charge. I calculated the extra I would have to pay to land department on 1 jan and it came to around 8,000= so in order to save that amount I paid the service charge under protest and submittred a hand written letter of complaint on the spot. i figured that if our efforts result in a lowered service charge then I would have a credit with salwan and if not then I've still saved 1% of title registration fees. anyone else face this scenario? what did you do?

I'd also like to commend the content of the letter and the groups effort to set things right.

My only reservation is that I fear that a nicely written letter asking for cooperation following a beating in the press (deserved or not) without having been given the opportunity to set the record straight first, will be met with indifference. Hindsight being what it is - we should have sent the letter to them first.

This is how I see it.
