Loan Sharks Ask ResiMac to Stop Giving Lending A Bad Name
Worst. Lender. Ever!!!!
**UPDATE: Without my participation or consent, ResiMac conducted an in-house “investigation” in response to this review, and offered a little over $100 as a “sorry,” while seeming to blame my settlement agent for everything.
Anyone with at least an ounce of sense knows that an impartial investigation can only be conducted by an independent third party…. Would you trust a criminal to investigate their own crime? Clearly not. Nor should a lender who might have done something wrong. ** END OF UPDATE**
First, I couldn’t believe how many unnecessary forms they demanded throughout the mortgage lending process.
Worse still, 4 days before settlement (while I was in a remote part of the country and a long way from home), after receiving all the documents they demanded electronically, they shifted the goalposts and insisted that they now wanted hard copies of all the documents, have them signed by a JP, then sent via express mail.
If this wasn’t fussy enough, they then refused to accept one of the documents as one of the signatures was “faded,” despite the fact that it was still clearly legible (I’ve never seen a signature written in pen fade after spending 3 days in an envelope).
We had to delay settlement 3 times because ResiMacs’ outsourced lawyer (a man who seemed bent on billing out as many unnecessary hours as possible) was doing his level best to take pettiness to new heights…. I don’t know if this guy was born a w**ker or he just decided to become one; but either way, he did a spectacular job.
Now here’s the psychopathic bit: about 12 hours before settlement, this vile human being pulled his consummate act of pettiness; he wanted one last document signed, but not just a run of the mill document, oh no!
HE DEMANDED THAT RESIMAC RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE FURTHER OBJECTIONS TO THE LOAN IF THEY WANT, AND THAT IM FULLY LIABLE FIR ANY AND ALL COSTS, INCLUDING PENALTIES, FOR DELAYING SETTLEMENT.
My conveyancer, lending agent, and myself couldn’t believe was this guy was doing.
I vowed to get rid of ResiMac ASAP. Just today, one of the Big 4 banks that I’ve used for decades heard my story, and offered me a much better interest rate….. with a LOT less paperwork.
ResiMacs’ lending process is stupider than taking your trousers off to p*ss.
