Hi Guys,
I have some serious issue here. I requested the bank to issue a cheque for my settlement in the next few days. When we called the bank to confirm when we would receive the chq, were told by CBA that the payment has already been made to PD. I am really upset that they have paid PD before my final inspection - not giving me an opportunity to query and ask them to fix things not up to standard. The bank agrees that they have made a mistake but said that they cant do anything to recover the money as PD has declined to reimburse.
What options/rights do I have here for the bank to correct this (I am getting interest charged noe from when the EFT was done and not when the settlement happens) and for the builder to fix all the issues (to ensure that things are completed as was agreed and discussed). Would I be able to not settle if things are not up to standard?
Has anyone have experienced this? Any suggestions/advise would be appreciated.
cheers
