I would like to bring this matter up once again.
Apparently, Mrs Koo has not been learning from her lessons. I've read through the previous posts and sympathises with all her victims. But the thing is, up till now she has not even paid up fully!
My friend engaged Mrs Koo services from around August onwards. The reason why she engaged her was because she came for the trial lesson & my friend felt that she is able to understand Mrs Koo's teachings, thats why she engaged her as a tutor. But the ridiculous thing was that she made use of this and persuade my friend to spend more money, eg, asking her to take a higher grade (grade 8 instead of 6). In the end, my friend paid her quite a big sum of money.
But lessons didnt go as planned afterthat. She kept postponing, using different excuses each time.
Ok so afterthat, my friend wanted a refund. This was during early November. Guess what?
Mrs Koo issued my friend a postdated cheque.. VALID FROM ONLY 31 Mar onwards!? & she gave excuses again, saying its because the person who's paying her is delayed & will be making payment only in march. HOW CAN THAT BE? November and March is like so many months away.
& the worst thing is.. the so called 'postdated cheque' is not even the full amount. The cheque was apparently short of the full amount, so she said she will bank the amount in cash for my friend before feb, and apologised for her delay.
And the money still wasnt in yet.
In early March, my friend went up to her house directly. But she wasnt at home. Her father opened the door. Mrs Koo then texted her and say she will bank the money to her account, and ask her not to go over to her house anymore.
And no news from her afterthat.
On 30 March, Mrs Koo texted my friend with a new number, saying that she has lost her hp. She then said she has not banked in the money - it will be late, but by this week. Will let my friend know again once she is paid & ask my friend to wait for a few days.
& upon asking her how long her 'few days' is, she couldnt give a definite answer. Kept saying she will sms my friend once it is in.
For goodness sake, HOW OLD IS SHE ALREADY? Making up stupid excuses and cheating my friend of her money? Guess what? She owed my friend close to $400! And the thing is, we are students. My friend has to do part-time work to pay for her music tuition.
I totally cannot tolerate her actions. What should we do? I have created an account here because i want this whole matter to be justified. I want everyone to know about Mrs Koo's wrongdoings. I feel that it is unfair to my friend. My friend believed in her & trusted her, only to be taken advantage of.
