My private engineering college in India is demanding extra fees beyond the advertised amount. There’s no one to address my complaints, and they’re even imposing unfair fines for delayed payments. I’m constantly pressured to pay this extra Rs. 12,000. Can I take this matter to consumer court? How long would it take to resolve? What compensation can I seek for the mental distress caused?

Yes, you can file a complaint with the Consumer Forum against your college for unfair practices like charging extra fees and imposing unreasonable fines. The resolution time varies, but it could take several months to a year. You can seek compensation for the extra fees paid, mental distress, and any other expenses incurred due to the college’s actions.

I bought two plots in Bhiwadi through a real estate agent, paying in cash. I later discovered the project was a scam, likely a partnership between the agent and the builder. They provided fake receipts, and when I questioned this, the agent issued refund checks and took back my originals. The checks bounced, and now the agent is gone. The person who gave me the fake receipts is still operating in Bhiwadi. I have copies of the receipts and the plot allotment letter. We were supposed to sign an agreement after I paid 40% of the amount, which I did. But now I have neither an agreement nor my original receipts. How can I recover my money from these people?
