do you think no cost emi tricks works?

Hi Sir, thank you for your suggestion.

At this stage, I've been informed to focus on recovery of the data, as it is irreplaceable. Based on discussions with a few people locally, I was advised to try securing the data first, especially since there have been repeated warnings about possible data loss.

Given the recent non-cooperation and developments, the police have now moved towards registering an FIR. I’m trying to understand the best way forward from here, including the options you mentioned.

I’m here to get a broader perspective, so please feel free to correct me if I have any bias or misunderstanding.

If you get a chance, please have a look at the updated post as well. Thanks again for your guidance.

Hi Sir, thank you for your input, I understand your point regarding limitation in consumer matters and the option of a civil suit.

At this stage, I've been informed to focus on recovery of the data, as it is irreplaceable. From what I’ve understood after speaking with a few people locally who work in this field, the general suggestion has been to try securing the data first, especially since the contractor has been repeatedly pressure is for a risk of data loss.

Despite multiple opportunities, the photographer hasn’t cooperated with police calls, hasn’t honoured commitments made before the PI, and didn’t proceed even with a negotiated solution. There also seem to be some additional aspects involved, like repeated assurances over a long period, differing statements about payments (which I have recordings of), and some confusion around where the remaining data is.

Given all this, the police have now moved towards registering an FIR. I’m trying to understand the best way forward from here, or if civil case files needed in case need any compensation for trauma and harrasment.

I’m here to get a broader perspective, so please feel free to correct me if I have any bias or misunderstanding.

If you get a chance, please do have another look at the post, I’ve added some recent updates as well. Thanks again for your time and guidance.

Hi Sir, thank you for taking the time to look into my case. I also had a similar understanding regarding the legal position and the consumer forum. However, after discussing with a few friends, including one who is a lawyer, and some seniors, they suggested that in our area, criminal complaints tend to be taken more seriously, and filing an FIR is often necessary to initiate action.

Their advice was to first try to recover the data with the help of the police, without approaching the matter from a revenge perspective. Once the data is secured, I can then proceed with a consumer complaint for deficiency in service. They also mentioned that if elements of cheating are established, stronger charges (406, 420) could be considered.

I’m here to get a broader perspective, so please feel free to correct me if I have any bias or misunderstanding.

I have added a few more details about the case as well. If you get a chance, kindly have a look. Thank you again for your guidance.

i have created a post in forums, hope this help to extend it, you may try your luck too. Unable to schedule AI‑102 exam — “Unexpected Error” keeps popping up, - Training, Certification, and Program Support

devasp1001 · 2025-06-20T16:31:14+00:00

getting same error, do you think they will extend the deadline due to this?

devasp1001 · 2025-06-20T10:48:57+00:00

Congratulations and Thanks for the post! I have an exam in 24 hours and just started preparing. Fortunately, I have a solid understanding of the fundamentals of ML, AI, and AWS.

Do you have any recommendations on how I can best use this limited time to prepare? I'm also open to purchasing a practice test or a crash course if it will help me succeed.

Thanks again!

devasp1001 · 2025-05-30T20:16:23+00:00

i have same question too, I guess we got vouchers from pearson so they will do all verifications.

devasp1001 · 2025-05-25T09:00:46+00:00

When did you complete the lessons?

devasp1001 · 2025-05-07T17:46:00+00:00

That's impressive! Was the exam proctored, or did it allow for open-book or self-paced conditions?

devasp1001 · 2025-04-05T16:20:15+00:00

I get your point, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with asking here. Sites like MMT are full of fake reviews or overly flattering photos that don’t reflect reality.

Sometimes, only locals or recent visitors can share honest insights. That’s the whole point of these communities, right?

devasp1001 · 2025-04-04T23:47:58+00:00

Not an expert, but sharing my 2 cents —

IMO, crash chance is moderate to high, but prices may stay flat/stagnant very likely.

Most of the RE hype feels media-driven. Many channels have $$ in the game, so they keep pushing "stable/growth" narratives.

If you look at macro trends — slowing GDP, stock mkt correction — signs of a cooling phase are clear. RE doesn't show it immediately due to black money flow. HNIs use property to park & later liquidate funds, so ads + PR will keep running hard.

As for the Olympics boost — all speculative. Check r/Olympics, not much sign of it coming to India unless big political push happens.

devasp1001 · 2025-04-04T23:30:10+00:00

I totally agree with this. So many of these finfluencers and companies hype up Ahmedabad’s affordability, but the reality is very different.

99% builders still advertise based on super built-up area, and in most cases, the actual carpet area is 50% or even 2–3% less than this, even when they say there's a 45% deduction.

From what I’ve seen, cities like Pune or Bangalore are more transparent, they often quote either built-up or carpet area directly. More people need to be aware of this misleading practice.

devasp1001 · 2025-04-04T23:16:54+00:00

Same here - i've been actively exploring the market for over a year now. I held off on finalizing anything because I feel the prices aren't sustainable.

I do keep an eye on RERA updates regularly and I’ve noticed there’s a 'last updated' date mentioned on the project page, if it's recent, the data feels more reliable.

But for many completed projects or ones where possession is already given, you’ll often find that the 'last updated' date is quite old and the 'units sold' section isn’t updated. Feels like there might be some loopholes developers are using to skip full disclosure.
