Hi all,
If you buy a school and the contract that you have with the previos owners states items or students that don’t exist or property they are trying to sell in the contract (ie Air Conditioners, security systems) and they don’t own it, the landloard does, do you have any legal grounds to sue? We have purchased a school and when the contract was written between us and the previous owners, all of these false items and the student count was very wrong. Lucky for us we only payed half so far, and now we are in almost a daily fight with the previous owners over who owes what or the contract being wrong. My wife is Taiwanese and she assures me they wont sue us for the other half of the money owed because the contract agreement has all of these false statements. I just wondered if their is a Taiwan based goverment office that handles these kind of false contract agreements for sale, or should we just get a lawyer and sue them as well. Alot of bad things have happened since we took over in the beginning of Feb. like the previous owners collecting payments from the parents outside of work, as well as other things like the previous owners coming in when they still had keys and taking things on the contract when we did the deal, which in America would be theft. I just need to know if this is something we should just get a lawyer for or if a goverment agencey handles fraudulant contracts like this, because if we go by what we have, we are actually owed back some money from the previous owners and we will probably never see that money again. Thanks in advance for anyones help on this.
