Applied to westpac to buy out the half share of my sisters joint ownership of a property.
Privacy documents submitted through my broker 31st/10th/2014
Valuation carried out in november 2014, early november valuation submitted to westpac.
21/1/2015 westpac finally acknowledges receipt of the valuation... that they had actually recieved 2 months earlier.
Westpac then sends out loan documents with the wrong interest rate. Then the broker corrects them and they send out loan documents for the correct interest rate.
Loan documents signed the following week.
Westpac rings us up 1-2 weeks later letting us know that our loan documents are ready to be signed.. I let westpac know we signed the documents 2 weeks ago, they replied, oh okay then *scratch head.
Broker then checks with westpac about what on earth is happening because the mortgage centre hadn't contacted me even though I was listed as self acting. They tell broker they need the transfer forms, etc...
I ring up westpac, they confirm this.
I then go to the branch 1 week ago and submit all the forms they needed.
Again westpac hasn't contacted me to follow up.
So we contact them today, now they still haven't recieved the mortgage approval documents.... the ones we signed in branch 3 weeks ago, the ones that they screwed the interest rate up on originally...the ones that they then asked us a couple weeks later to then come in again and sign.

It's been almost 4 months trying to get a simple refinance approved... the loan is already a westpac loan... yet they still can't seem to do it... Almost FOUR MONTHS! What's that, about 110 days so far.
What sort of business can take 110 days to process 5 pieces of paper work...and still be running. And settlement hasn't even been booked in yet... we are probably 2 months away from settlement at this stage, going at the rate we have been.
I'm really left speechless by it all to be honest.
