Wouldn't be difficult to fake the statements I meant. In the off chance this happens to anyone else. Trying to resolve this over the phone is almost impossible. I just got back from the Telstra shop, and they were actually fantastic. They say this is happening more and more and knew exactly...

Cheers Robbo. It has been an interesting experience to say the least. I just found out my impostor has left me a nice little bill for $800 with Telstra as well. The cops aren't interested in hearing about it, because apparently the fraud investigators will pass the information onto them...

Update! I'm not sure where to begin. So I'll start by giving props where it's due, to Peter (PT_Bear). I've basically made his life miserable for the last month, unintentionally might I add. But he went above and beyond and got me out of a very bad situation without making a cent. I'll...

I'm still alive, but slightly more jaded. Was passed around between GE money and VEDA for about 10 days. Apparently the request to remove the default had been sent by one, but not received by the other. Yada yada yada... got the all clear this morning. Moving ahead with finance, but running...

What a drainer. I'm curious. I haven't lost any cards or identification, and it sounds as though they had my license number and everything. Someone surely went to a lot of effort. Mind you, I guess it's pretty easy these days to get personal information. Maybe I'm just being stubborn, but...

Veda were able to give me the account number and contact details for the group who issued the credit card. Probably a good thing I found out this way. Rather than having some debt collector come knocking on my door... haha Timing couldn't be any worse really, the default was only about 2...

Thanks guys. Seems as though I've just been derailed, temporarily I hope. Loan was rejected due to a default on my credit history. This came as a complete shock, because my history should be immaculate. Spent the last hour on the phone getting passed around from one call center to the...

Alrighty then. Guess I should have my say here. Firstly, big shout out to Jake Milne. He was nice enough to send me a message with his number and an offer to have a chat with him about recent events. Recent events being the the **** storm on page three :) Props to Hobo-Jo as well. I have...

Thanks Carly Rental is estimated at $280 - $295/week. Which, if my calculations are correct*, should be 5.3% yield at the lower end and 5.6% at the upper range. *there's a good chance they are not correct ;)

For those of you playing along at home. I made an offer on a property yesterday. 3br 1bath house in Quarry Hill, Bendigo. My offer was not accepted, but some negotiations done by the agent and we came to a deal. $272k, 45day settlement, and 5% deposit. Subject to finance, building/pest...

Update! Took a trip up to Bendigo on Friday. I hadn't been there since I was a kid, so really had no idea what to expect of the place. I was pleasantly surprised. I thought the city had a really good 'vibe', the people were all very friendly and there were good signs of growth and plenty of...

We're still moving forwards, slowly... After a few recommendations and some more research I have been looking at Bendigo a little closer. Some points I've either read or been told: The vacancy rates are reportedly extremely low. The railway and highway construction/improvement in past...

I could probably still get finance for $400k, but it's a little out of my comfort zone. I would consider extending to $350k, but again I haven't really put in much time yet researching. I'll still be following up on those regional hubs too. I'll be sure to look at all the options in my...

I've devised a system which I think will work. It involves a map of melbourne and a dart... Really though, I'm not sure. I'm thinking of 2 bedroom units/townhouses at $300k. Something with a bit of land but hopefully not too far from the city. To be honest, I have no idea yet. Lots of time...

Rightio! I know you guys said face time isn't necessary, but I thought it would be beneficial for me to actually meet with my broker. Also, being from the same city I thought would have it's advantages in terms of information and other connections down the track. Anyways... I met with...

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the assistance so far. Meeting with the broker today and will keep this thread updated as I go along. On the flip side though, I could go with my gut against what the experienced investors advise and fail miserably. That would probably be considerably more...

Cattle class only. It's going to get awfully snug, and once you're on there is no getting off! No Lawyer yet. I figured I probably wont need one until I start making offers on properties? I'll make a few phone calls tomorrow for brokerage!

Oops. Thanks Alex. Looking to buy in Melbourne. Just updated first post with some basic info. Cheers.
