My Builder has taken the Maintenance Advance from me, later they handed over the project to Association. Now Association has informed me that Builder has not given the Maintenance amount to them so they asked me to pay it again and take the refund from Builder. I have contacted executives from Builders side but they are replying. I'm helpless what to do now.
