Well done Mike and Jamie.

Mike - surely this client has grounds for a formal complaint to the FSA?

Why not? This appears to be a hideous rip-off.

Melanie - It is obviously very difficult to post details explaining everything, without going into details regarding the actual application and complications without contravening confidentiality, but suffice to say that BDS are not a lender they are a broker, the 5k charge was not a broker fee, but a lenders arrangement fee. 4k for solicitors’ fees is down to liedto and her partner and the arrangements made with their acting solicitors and not the broker.

Liedto has been through an awful lot of heartache with the lies and complications of her situation. I hope now that she will be able to move forward with her life, and her and her partner will be able to build upon the new found level of trust and communication they have found.

Agreed - the rebuilding of a relationship through difficult times is priceless, but the cost of £5k to a broker for absolutely nothing is disgraceful. And IP's are supposed to be the bad guys(girls)!

As I explained the 5k was not a broker fee for BDS, it never was. It was a lenders arrangement fee. IF it was a brokers fee we would have taken the complaint up with BDS and sorted it out for liedto.

But the lender did not arranged anything! Sorry to bang on about this but this sort of practice in your industry actually sickens me Mike. I appreciate that I do not know the full facts of this case, but if an IP had taken that sort of money from a client and then not done anything everyone would be in uproar.

But, the lender DID arrange the product that was taken and charged their normal arrangement fee as is fairly standard practice throughout the industry. I do agree the fee that was charged by the lender was high, but it is the arrangement fee charged for the product that was supplied.

Obviously, products are available based on a customers personal circumstances and in some cases what is available, is very restrictive.

As with all mortgage products, fees are disclosed to the customer prior to application and again on completion, all is perfectly transparent. This was not sharp practice by the lender or by BDS & certainly not by Leybridge.

As Liedto states she was perfectly happy with the service that Leybridge gave her and acknowledges that we carried out some serious bartering and negotiation with various lenders, third parties, and other used brokers on their behalf.

IF there were any sharp practices by third parties involved in our processing of the application or anything untoward with the application itself in any way, we would not have allowed it to complete.

No one was criticising your company Mike - I just find it hard to believe an arrangement fee of £5k is acceptable - but accept I don't know the full facts of this case. Suggest we leave this there.
