Has anyone been able to successfully seek compensation from a non-bank lender for stuffing up settlement?
I won't go into the whole sorry saga here but, suffice to say, I am one stressed chick! My solicitor is seeking to obtain the penalty interest that we are being forced to pay. However, she seems to think that, unless a contract was made between the lender and ourselves, we cannot claim for any other costs (tradesmen costs, loss of wages, interstate phonecalls, courier costs etc ). Isn't the contract of sale enough? The settlement period was 11 weeks, with a 90% loan and LMI.
