Corrupt Receiver and
Illegal Eviction
We were to pay the bank
$980,000 in two installments but we could not do so because the Receiver had
not renewed the leases to our tenants. Because of the Christmas closure, we
could not get the leases in place in the time frame allotted. When we had
the leases in place the Commonwealth Bank of Australia’s staff refused to
take the first installment and demanded the full amount of $980,000 as we
were outside the time limit which had been caused by the receiver’s
Dereliction of Duty. Four years later the Commonwealth Bank of Australia’s
staff sold our factory complex in conjunction with the Receiver, Mr. Rogers,
to Zenix Pty. Ltd at $255,000 less than we would have paid them. This was
fully explained in the Supreme Court of N.S,W before Brownie A.J.
We were to be evicted on a
Friday so I put an advertisement in our local paper, the South Coast
Register, on the Wednesday before, inviting people to a BANKERS BUSTING BBQ,
many people turned up. John Hatton our Independent State Member of
Parliament was disgusted with the bank staff’s and lawyer’s actions and he
ran his office from our office that day. The media were there in force to
cover our eviction. I chained myself to our factory while waiting for the
Sheriff to evict us, but he did not come. The media had me wired with a
microphone to record the eviction. A journalist phoned Mr. Griffith at
COMMONWEALTH BANK of AUSTRALIA in Nowra and asked him when we were going to
be evicted. Griffith said they knew we were having a party. Sheriff
Creighton did not evict us on the Friday; he waited until the following
Monday and evicted us at 8 am on an eviction notice that had the wrong date
on it.
Before we were evicted Mr.
Rogers came to our Factory and told us he had been appointed as receiver of
our Factory complex known as SOUTH NOWRA BUILDING WORLD. I phoned Mr. Peter
McMahon at COMMONWEALTH BANK of AUSTRALIA Nowra and asked him for a copy of
the Receivers appointment, he said “OK, BECAUSE WE HAVE YOU BY THE
BALLS”…but THE DOCUMENT WAS NOT SIGNED.
Mr. Rogers took rent money
from one of our tenants at the time; therefore he is guilty of
misappropriation of funds, our funds. After we were evicted by bank fraud,
Mr. Rogers was authorised to hand the keys to Wormald Security by a
COMMONWEALTH BANK of AUSTRALIA letter dated 21 April 1992. Wormald Security
and the security guards who entered our property are accessories to the
fraud by COMMONWEALTH BANK of AUSTRALIA. Staff and lawyers could be charged
with breaking and entering. This letter was signed by G.J. Turner,
COMMONWEALTH BANK of AUSTRALIA Canberra.
We also have a letter
signed by Mr. Rogers of L.J. Hooker of Nowra to M.T. Mikola of COMMONWEALTH
BANK of AUSTRALIA Canberra dated 15 April 1992 agreeing to take possession
of our property. Mr. Rogers and Mr. Davey of L.J. Hookers of Nowra then
approached our tenants and asked them to sign new leases with a discount for
long leases. Mr. Rogers’ duty at law as a receiver was to maintain the
goodwill of our property. Having failed in his DUTY OF CARE, Mr. Rogers is
in Contempt of Court.
The Receiver was appointed by fraud by the Commonwealth
Bank of Australia staff in accordance with Memorandum to Mortgage No.
T340042. We had no knowledge of this Memorandum to Mortgage until we were in
litigation. Friends obtained a house loan from the Commonwealth Bank of
Australia’s staff and were told “you only get the Memorandum to Mortgage
after you sign the contract” The Commonwealth Bank of Australia’s staff
used this secret Memorandum to Mortgage against us in Court action. It is
illegal to add documents to a contract after it has been signed. In
accordance to Memorandum to Mortgage the Receiver acts on behalf of my wife
and me. The Receiver admitted in the Supreme Court that he took instructions
from the staff at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia. We named Mr. Rogers as
a Defendant in our court actions against COMMONWEALTH BANK of AUSTRALIA but
we should have included all the staff and CBA lawyers involved because C.B.A.
lawyers acted for Mr. Rogers. The Receiver also ignored letters from our
lawyers. Mr. Rogers the Receiver and Mr. Ken Scarf an employee of
COMMONWEALTH BANK of AUSTRALIA served court documents on my wife at SOUTH
NOWRA BUILDING WORLD before we were evicted. I wonder if they are licensed
Process Servers; if they are not licensed I believe there are harsh
penalties. BUT AS THE RECEIVER, MR. ROGERS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ACTING ON OUR
BEHALF.
Mr. Rogers served
documents FOR OUR HOUSE from the Supreme Court on me at night. I opened the
front door of our home to answer a knock and he said “Are you Anthony Thomas
Rigg and does Dorothy Anne Rigg live here? I said yes, then he handed me
documents and was gone. He showed me no ID or anything to identify Mr.
Rogers as a licensed process server. When we were evicted from our home the
Sheriff John Stewart said “I don’t want to evict you and I want to put you
back into your home.” My wife was able to find a house for us to rent,
otherwise we would have been thrown into the street.
Money Power Corrupts
Absolutely
I tried to get help from the Metal Trades Industry
Association of Australia as our company had been a member for some years,
but without success. I then learnt that the national president of the
association Mr. Besley was chairman of directors of the COMMONWEALTH BANK of
AUSTRALIA.
I remember a senior banker saying “we don’t want a
trial by media.”
Obviously the banks can
buy people to do whatever they wish. The COMMONWEALTH BANK of AUSTRALIA
employs retired police to evict families into the street. A comment by one
of them, ‘we don’t like doing it but the moneys good.’ Mr. Murray CEO of
COMMONWEALTH BANK of AUSTRALIA phoned a member of Voice of the People
Lobby Group and said words to the effect,
You
won’t get a Royal Commission into banking because the banks won’t finance
it!
The banks clearly believe
that they have the protection of law enforcement and control of government.
Two friends of mine had a meeting with Mr. Stephen Paul Martin, Chairman to
the Banking Inquiry, at one of the hearings in Melbourne. He said to them
that Mr. Keating (former Prime Minister) told him that he could have as much
money as he liked for the banking inquiry providing that it vindicates
deregulation, appeases the people and it does not lead to a Royal Commission.
A statement by Rothschild
Bros. of London:
The few
who could understand the system [cheque, money, credits] will either be so
interested in its profits, or so dependant on its favours, that there will
be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of
the people mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that
capital derives from the system, will bear its burdens without complaint,
and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their
interests.
We do not know how many
families have been thrown off their properties by this government bank
fraud. Many victims have committed suicide. The Commonwealth Bank of
Australia’s own internal memo from Lending Services SA/NT, signed by D.
Catherwood, Chief Manager Lending Services to Group Communications, the
relevant sentence states,
given
that there has been previous suicides….
This is an admission by
The Commonwealth Bank of Australia that staff and lawyer’s actions were
causing suicides (this carries a 14 year prison sentence). If this fraud
had not been committed against the victims they would be alive today and
their family’s lives would not have been shattered by officers of the public
authority.
The crimes are cleverly covered-up. The bank staff
reversed the situation to make us appear to be in default, and blamed us. We
were never in default, but by manipulation of our accounts by the bank staff
and lawyers, they made it appear as though we were in default just as they
gave the illusion that other victims were in default. Over the years I have
read letters from bank managers saying words to the effect, “It’s sad when a
company can’t meet its commitments. We are sympathetic but we have to look
after the bank’s interests.” This is just part of the deception to blame the
victim.
Another trick arises when the victims are told they are
in default and then the bank staff demands further security. They say ‘if
you don’t give the bank extra security, we will dishonour your cheques’
[this is when we had no choice but to sign our home over to the bank]. Mr.
Greenaway came to our home and valued it at $180,000, I do not know if he is
a registered valuator. Or if a cheque is late coming in they will threaten
to dishonour your wages cheque, as they did with us. I believe it is
a breach of contract to dishonour a cheque as we were never in default. I
had to borrow money one time to pay our staff wages. Then they harassed us
for figures on work in progress and would want to know how much income we
expected for the end of the month…and they wanted cash flows. I wonder how
many victims were tricked into walking off their properties by this fraud,
thinking they were in default but never were.
If victims fight, they are persecuted, victimized and
denied access to critical documents. Judges break the law by striking out
subpoenas and stopping the victims having discovery of critical documents.
Then the same judges write judgements against the victims knowing their
cases have not been heard. We and others have suffered the same fate and we
still don’t know the truth. I believe they are masters of deception as they
have had plenty of practice. I believe that what they have done is
unconstitutional. Does the bank staff commit these crimes only for their own
benefit, or what other benefits do the bank staff get…or is there something
more sinister behind this fraud? Who instructs the bank staff to commit
these crimes against decent hard working people who have put their trust in
the Government Bank?
Two other COMMONWEALTH
BANK OF AUSTRALIA staff victims were, without notice, evicted into the
street from their factory with their employees not being allowed back into
their factory to get their personal belongings. Senator McClean read the
Benson case into Hansard.
