St George Bank Australia

how they established a business bank account without my permission.

 

The Commonwealth Bank of Australia

how they transferred funds without my permission

Update: October 2016

I couldn’t understand how my ex partner (call him PB) opened and operated a business bank account with the St George Bank Australia without my permission; I am a Director of our Company and my authority was required to do this.

St George Bank Australia

After investigations I have discovered the St George Bank Australia has accepted an unwitnessed Company Power of Attorney from PB. Both our signatures were required to be witnessed and, as I was in the UK at the time, my signature was required to be witnessed by a Notary and the form registered with the Land Titles office.  Neither of our signatures were witnessed and it wasn’t registered. St George Bank Australia accepted this without question.

This allowed PB to use transactions on the fraudulent account, however this was not how he established the business bank account in the name of our joint business with the St George Bank Australia.

PB had signed on my behalf as having power of attorney over me personally, on the ‘Authorisation to Operate a Bank Account’ Form. The bank clerk, Lesley Harding from the St George Bank in Browns Plains, accepted this without confirming with me or having documents as proof that BB has the authority to sign for me. Paul the manager at the time should have seen this was fraud and canceled the account, he did not!

Correspondence from Debra Hartwaters, St George Bank Customer Manager, Customer Resolution and Experience, has informed me they have done their investigations and now refuse to correspond with me.  I was not informed they closed the fraudulent bank account, but they did! however, PB had a cheque to process and she then apologises to him, for closing this fraudulent account and reopened it as a gesture of good will, refunded their online fees, so that he can process this cheque and steal more money from me. I have only recently discovered these transactions on the fraudulent account.

Closing the account has told me the St George Bank realises they have done the wrong thing.

Mr.Ross Colquhoun from Westpac Customer Resolution has told me that they haven’t done anything wrong.
Well Mr. Colquhoun what St George Bank has done is a Cardinal Sin. In their greed to gain a business account the St George Bank is in breach of Federal and International Regulations. They refuse to admit it even though I have now explained to them that I didn’t approve the business bank account; St George Bank and Westpac are refusing to put it right!

Funny that I didn’t receive an apology from the St George Bank, for their fraudulent actions.

I called in to a Brisbane branch of the St George Bank, I have been told that the company power of attorney document required both Directors signatures to be witnessed, and because no one witnessed our signatures it would have been rejected. With the power of attorney, every transaction on the account required the original document to be sighted, as there was no original document, this did not happen.  I have been told the account has now been swiped  from their system.

PB and Debra Hartwaters has conspired to defraud me of my rightful ownership of our joint business funds.

The Commonwealth Bank of Australia

The Commonwealth Bank of Australia has also accepted this unwitnessed Company Power of Attorney from PB.
I have also explained to them the reason it is invalid.

They have used this unwitnessed P.O.A. to allow PB to operate our business bank account without my authority and transfer our banking to the fraudulent St George business account.

The Commonwealth Bank of Australia has become silent.

Anyone who uses these banks should be aware that even when the evidence is in black and white these banks do not accept responsibility for their actions.

Westpac Group: Westpac and St George Bank are treating me as if I am unimportant – does this mean the other Divisions of Westpac treat women in the same way?

What they have done has given PB the tools to commit criminal and civil crimes against me. Allowed him to steal my funds from me.

I have had hundreds of thousands of dollars stolen from me and the consequence of the bank’s fraud  has contributed to PB also stealing my personal possessions.  This is all due to the St George and Commonwealth Bank of Australia’s non compliance to Federal and International Regulations. They have proved to be derelict in their duties and have encouraged PB to commit fraud and theft.

this statement is in my opinion, true to my investigations and made without prejudice
