Hi Sue,
I can understand your frustrations. I have my three loans with Westpac - only because a couple of years ago they offered 85% LVR without mortgage insurance. But they have been very difficult to deal with.
Every time we call the "Mortgage Centre" they make us talk to a different person who has to look up our history on the computer and they have no idea how to deal with more complicated matters than telling us the current interest rates.
We have threatened to leave Westpac several times, and they immediately transferred us to the "customer retention centre" where they proudly told us that our variable loans would cost $3,500 to discharge, as we have only had them for two years.
I encourage you to put this behind you, keep your faith in investment properties, and change lenders ASAP!!! I will be dealing with Members Equity Bank for my next investment.
I wish you well.
Mike
Hi Mike
Dunna matter what lender you deal with, they all have their chinks.
As an example a certain very large Building Society has a habit of issuing 5 year IO loans with no PI period and no point of sale disclosure.
If you miss the "500 000 repayable on day x letter" you are in default at 2 % + interest.
