Maid Agency threaten to recover loan amount from me

[unholymonk]

What should you do if you have a new maid to prevent such an occurrence?
1. Make sure you are the one locking up your house at night. Your maid should be able to leave the house in an emergency but she doesn’t need to have full access to your security system.

2. If your new helper has suspicious phone calls from men or there are signs like cigarette smoke around the house during the day, be vigilant. The maid might be allowing someone to visit her at your house.

3. If you have a new maid, don’t leave her alone with vulnerable members of your family such as young children or elderly parents. Supervise her until you are sure that she understands the rules of your house.

4. Make sure that you vary your routine. Occasionally, go home at an unusual time or have a friend that the maid knows, visit in the middle of the day. This will ensure that your maid is never too confident of having the house to herself at particular times of the day.

5. Do not leave your maid alone at home when you go on holiday if possible. Have a friend or family member house-sit for you.

As your maid is a resident at your house, if she invites someone in, even if they are a stranger to you, there is no offence. It is only if they steal from you, that the police can act. If they just enter the house, there is nothing the police can do.

Fucker had his fun and the employers were gracious enough not to press charge for trespassing and he is not even willing to fork out 1K. Typical Sinkie.

Am not a lawyer, so just take whatever I posted with a huge punch of salt.

Firstly, add pointed by a Bro above, I'd there's already a precedent, then it's likely that you're gonna deemed as having trespass into the property.

However. ..

Even if there's a case, it had to be the property owner to make the police report, nor the maid agency owner. Hence, if the property owner doesn't make the report, you can assume that he doesn't want to blow up the case.

So, if the maid agency asked you again for money, you may:

1. Ignore them;
2. Warn them you may report them for blackmail.

Caveat: I'm not a lawyer, so read but make your own decision.

There was a previous case in Toa Payoh. A maid invited her ah neh bf back to her room for a session. The difference here was the ah neh climb in thru the room window as the flat was on the ground floor. A neighbour saw and thought a breakin was in progress so called the police. Police came and arrested the ah neh. But after establishing that it was not a breakin but something else. They had to let ah neh go and closed the case.
So TS dont have to pay the agency anything as there's no case for them. But can pay me some kopi $$. heehee

dont understand why this owner make life so difficult for herself.
Just return the maid to agency, which she has done. This owner can also get a new replacement maid.

Why this agency want to sent the maid back ?? The maid can be transfer to new owner. The agency dont need to pay a single cents, as the new owner will pay for all the admin..

TS need not care what agency say about he paying for her placement fees bcos this will be taken care by her new owner.

from the way you say, it seems that you are right.

why dont you counter claim them for attempted black mail?

ask them for 1k to close the case and you will not pursue anymore

Thus this is like blackmailing me since now they are able to use trespassing as a bargaining chip now.

So if I had not answered the call or now i cancelled my line, what are the chances they will proceed with reporting jus to claim back the money?
