Sean Summerville - The property king AKA Fortunes in Forclosures

---
at the time I was dysfunctional and just listened to 'his'advice and didn't seek additional legal help because i didn't have the money to do so. However, it would have been a smart option. Sadly I was uneducated and didn't do it the 'smart' way to protect myself.

I have an insolvency specialist looking into it and what I can do, can a second cavaet be put on the same property?

re "assist me financially" - I assisted him, and at the time he said "don't worry about title or cavaet, it's just extra paperwork and cost" and I just went along with him because of my 'non functional' state... just being alive each day was a major effort...

I've sent off an email to ask if one can be put on. thanks.

 

Hey, I'm not sure if I can help. PM me if you wish and I'll share what I know from experience. I'd like to add that unfortunately when you post about your experience you'll most likely hear from certain 'types' who will focus on letting you know what you should have done better at the time i.e blaming the victim. These people will only suck out the energy from you that you desperately need in order to fight. I don't know anything about you but you need to learn the bs legal system pronto and get it working for you. Take 100% responsibility. Don't listen to p"""cks who tell you it's your fault or what you should have done etc. It's time to get in touch with your inner kickboxing champion...passive won't cut it...just my 2c.

 

Hi, Thanks ElleJay, reason for public sharing is to leave a trail of warning.
So others don't do as I did and trust Sean...

I've sent you a PM also.
thanks
Lyndi

 

I totally agree ellejay, there are some " experts " on here who always tell you where you've gone wrong but don't offer any helpful tips.
I find a lot of newbies ask for help but then get 20 replies that don't answer their question. I'd say to them If you've got nothing positive to say then don't contribute drivel to the debate

 

Good for you for doing that but what always disappoints me, and it's the same in this case is that bs 'when is Brisbane going to boom?'type threads get so much more attention than someone being ripped off in this country? It's always saddened me that Aussies never seem to stand up on these kinds of sites. It's not generally like that on overseas sites, but I don't know what the issue is here, or why it's "every man for himself.". Maybe I've lived on small town Australia too long and I'm not familiar with metro psyche.

I can tell you that I got majorly ripped off and people who knew me, who I'd spent many hours helping still went along to the webinars of the person who ripped me off believing they would get some value. Whilst I was the genuinely successful investor and the innocent party I received posts from approximately 2 people out of all the people I'd connected with on investor sites like these over a period of years, very superficial and alot of self interest.

 

Thank you. It was a horrible response but not unexpected sadly.

 

Yeah, all good... I don't get into a blame game...
my purpose is to post current 2019 info on Sean and have it show up in google search.
because last I spoke to him, full of promises, just before he disconnected his phone was he was going to transfer some of his properties he purchased in 2015 and put them in my name to 'hide' them...

I'm sure wife Dianne would not be blind to his antics, a hand written letter to the letter box is easy enough for me to do...

and I used my name, because I'm not hiding the fact I feel I was ripped of by Sean and I worked in his business for 5 years as the tech marketer...so I know a lot of what went on, and it was good back then... only when he went sideways, I stopped working for him. but in heinsight, it was a stupid error from the start because I didn't document or do with legal support to hold him true to his word.

and he sure aint true to his word.
He crossed the wrong gal here!

 

My best deals have been paying over bank valuations.

Are there courses that specialises in "paying over valuation'

 

Hi Lyndi. I was in contact with SS about Sep / Oct 2019. Same crap, different angle. He had also been involving multiple investors onto the same property (renovating properties for a profit split over 12 to 18 months) The two I know off are in Broken Hill and Scarborough QLD. He owns the property in BH, but the Scarborough property belongs to someone else. I checked council records.
I suspect his wife may be in on the activity. I also suspect someone sent a couple of bouncers around to give him a flogging. He complained about falling of a ladder and breaking a shoulder, then some months later he lost half a finger. Both times sent graphic photos.
Qld police and the ATO are aware of his antics, made sure of that.
Happy to provide as much info as I can to get this bloke to man up.

 

How can you help?

What can be done.

I had an insolvency specialist do a letter. It went nowhere.

He just doesn't care.
I sadly don't have funds for a lawyer.

My amount lost was huge. It was meant to help me restart my life. Instead it's put me in poor health and struggle while I try support my kids.

Just wrong.
I sure wish there was a way.

I'm open to any suggestions
Thanks

If this gentleman has had the gold -coast's doctor do a home -visit 2 times and the last time he lost a finger maybe third time lucky..

Why not just lodge a caveat against everything they both control at least that way when they try to on-sell what ever they control any Legal person worth 20 cents in the dollar would pick that up straight away..

 

You can't just go and lodge a caveat against someone, even if they personally owed you money. You would need a caveatable interest.

 

Terry,then what is a caveatable interest?.

If they owe you money,and they have property holding's can you put a caveat over the titles ?.

 

It would be a non legal interest in a property they own, which could arise because of circumstances such as you renovating that property, or providing funds to purchase it, or because of a contract or deed giving you an interest in the property or charging it.

No - not unless you have a caveatable interest.

 

Can you help me put cavaet on?

I need help to bring action.

 

You need legal advice as putting a caveat on when not entitled could mean you are liable for the other side's legal costs in going to the supreme court to remove - 10s of thousands of dollars potentially

 

I have legal reason.
My SMSF has loaned money so he could buy the house.

 

In that case you cannot lodge a caveat, but the SMSF trustee might be able to. Seek legal advice.

 

I am the trustee.

Do you know anyone who can assist in this type of situation on the Gold Coast?

Thanks

 

The reality is that you need to do whatever it takes (i.e. get a second or third job cleaning if you have to) to come up with a few thousand dollars up front to pay for very good legal representation. I advised you a while ago. Not just any lawyer will do, you need a litigation lawyer in a well established firm. If the matter is going to go to court in Queensland then look for someone there.
