Westpac - The Black Hole of Calcutta


Something not so amusing - but you have to laugh to maintain sanity. This time its Westpac's turn yet again. A simple request for mortgage payout figures elicits not a single response from Westpac Adelaides mortgage settlements area after SIX FAXED REQUESTS plUS FoLLOW uP pHONE cALLS.

Is this section run by Westpac or EDS? ITS a JOKE. and nOT funny. In such cases we now refer clients to the Banking Ombudsman. And I call upon every Lawyer and Conveyancer to do the same. At least in one case our client received compensation.

If the message is not clear - your systems are understaffed, non accountable and broken.
