Re: black mail from electrician.

1. You should file a police complaint against him.

2. You can also file a consumer case against BSES. He represented the company. Forcing consumers to pay illegally is an anti-consumer act.

3. Before filing consumer complaint, you should send legal notice to the company.

4. After sending the legal notice and filing police complaint, you should reply to notice for check bouncing.

5. All the above should preferably be done through advocate.

Re: black mail from electrician.

There is no legal transaction between you and said electrician.In fact it is an illegal gratification.Since you had issued the cheque so you must have to contest the case and have to prove your case.For any other query you may contact me.
