1.  The Bank copy of the LAFs which were missing and never sent to Storm or the customers remained hidden despite a Senate Inquiry 2.   Banks Officers known as Business Development Managers BDM's frequented Storm offices - to teach Brokers how to use the CBA Service Calculator 3.  The Faxed copy of LAF from Bank (those who have secured their copy) differs from the originals. 4.  Only Brokers who kept their originals and ignored bank warnings to "shred the wet-ink LAF" have proof.  Proof the Broker was not the culprit 5.  Brokers are saying they were under instructions from Banks that ALL LAFs faxed to bank must have SERVICE CALCULATOR page and ICW (worksheet) attached to the LAF.   6.  Bank customers were told to sign  "we have read and understood everything" yet Banks only asked for three pages to be presented to all clients, knowing all other pages had...

I am constantly asked re credit cards what do we do now: I suggest you all lodge Credit Card complaints with FOS especially the offer to raise the debt was given to you.  Look at FOS website re Credit Cards and it clearly shows where grounds for complaints are more than possible.  Australians being charged a staggering $6.2 billion in credit card interest annually.  Tom Godfrey of Choice is saying the market is dominated by THE BIG FOUR BANKS and that's not good for Consumers.  Nothing in banking is good for Consumers right now as these Banksters are so dishonest, deceitful as we have proven time and again.  Also start going to media as it is a BIG story of how Banks insisted on a Mortgage Borrower taking out THEIR credit card when they already had one.  www.fos.org.au What a Bunch of Bankers..................I am writing a book............... They said "you do...

Aussies just want a fair go, so here are a few tips to ensure all Australians about to sign a Mortgage Application in 2014, are prepared enough to ask their Lender some serious questions BEFORE SIGNING.  Before you sign, tell the Mortgage Seller - these are MY RULES: 1.  Demand the Broker or Bank Manager immediately hand you two copies of Loan Application Form ("LAF") and sign both and RETAIN the second original document for your records.  Ensure the LAF is 11 pages (not the usually presented three pages).  Its a bank scam.  Refuse to hand the signed original over unless there is an ORIGINAL COPY for YOU. 2.  All prospective borrowers MUST receive a phone call from LENDER asking "How much do you earn."  If Lender does not do this after you have submitted the Loan Application Form....then cancel the LAF as a document and process and tell them the reason being "we suspect...

Well we know what ASIC has been busy with this past decade:  handing out fines to Brokers for "non compliance of its old and new laws."  We have been consistently warning Australian Mortgage Brokers that ASIC will come after you chaps but will not use the 2010 laws against fraudulent loans generated by bank engineered SERVICE CALCULATORS that automatically fudge client income figures.   ASIC have been fully briefed on what is going on but refuse to act against the PROTECTED Bankers.  ASIC have the laws and the powers to handcuff and charge every bank executive involved in LIAR LOAN engineering.  So what is ASIC doing about that gem?  Absolutely NOTHING..........NIENTE......ZIP............In three years the "new" laws are now "old" laws and they are copies of previous legislative tools that ASIC had in its arsenal but failed to use for 14 years.  AUSTRALIAN BANKS have been handsomely profiteering, racketeering from fraudulent LOW...

Just remember this figure:  18% of all people surveyed by BFCSA, say they have FULL DOC LOANS arranged by Bank Managers and NO BROKER INVOLVED yet all were toxic, unaffordable, designed to implode at 6 years and, all were fraudulently altered after people signed and without their knowledge and consent.  36% of all our people surveyed said their loans were either FULL DOC or LOW DOC arranged by Bank Managers and NO BROKER INVOLVED yet all were toxic, unaffordable, designed to implode at 6 years and, all were fraudulently altered after people signed and without their knowledge and consent.  No-one across Australia received a LOAN APPLICATION FORM despite the fact that under Contract Law the customer is entitled to a document they are asked to sign.  You are entitled to a copy at point of signing, yet this most important decision of a lifetime and NO-ONE received a copy and ASIC state "no systemic issues." BFCSA has managed to unravel how the Loan...

TRUST IN THE BANKING SYSTEM has broken down.  Refinancing has stopped.  Loans that implode in 7 years are now (under the NCCP law) imploding in 3 years.  All those who were "stitched" up by banks with Low Docs and Full Doc non affordable loans will then face the sheriff and loss of homes and ASIC know that.   Since deregulation 1986, citizens have lost long term security that should have been there if you worked hard to achieve your own home.  At the bottom of every scam, there has been a corrupted regulatory regime and of course BANKSTERS.  Our Federal Parliament MUST recognize that at the bottom of every scam and property bubble there are the doyens of the banking world........a world of "high" finance and looting.  Yet for the Banksters to continue to steal homes and arrange monstrous financial scams, there has to be a corrupted Securities Commission.   Our...
