In return we are not going to resort to penalties. Quid pro quo as a result. And since you've failed to meet the deadlines, we will start paying off the loan in five years instead of two. Logical? It is. It is inconvenient but we've decided we are going to come to terms in this matter, there is no other way.

Instead, these people took advantage of the market economy opportunities to make a fortune at the expense of those who purchase this housing. This is not okay,”
