Unfair Treatment By Absa

I signed the OTP is 2013 with lawyers that are appointed by Absa Trust executors to represent the beneficiaries in the sale of property. The bank knew from the beginning that the transfer was impossible as the sale price was insufficient to settle the bond, municipality and the levies but they delayed the sale so that I keep paying the occupational rent to make money for the estate.

We resigned the new offer in 2017 and they promised to transfer within 3 months, but it never happened. I paid R88000 deposit in 2013 plus R47000 for occupational rent. The purchase price was R550000. I told them that I will not pay any rent as they didn't want to disclose the reasons for the transfer delays. Now do not want to return my deposit plus demanding more money for unpaid occupational rent. I have lodged a complaint with the Legal Practice Council for the unfair treatment and misrepresentation by these lawyers, now I will contact the Ombudsman for Banking Services as I complained to Absa many times about the conduct of their lawyers but they did not nothing to address the issues.
