Slaves to the banks

Conveyancing – the transferring of property ownership on the Deeds Office Register (which is not exactly rocket science and could be handled by a variety of people) is reserved exclusively for attorneys, many of whom depend on conveyancing to put food on the table (prosciutto, not pap, of course). Attorneys on bank panels must turn down instructions to act against banks. So how did lawyers allow themselves to be sold into servitude?

My current issue with Absa Bank has been horrendous to say the least ! They unlawfully property grabbed my home, sold it on a sale of execution without a writ on the 5th May 2011 , after several attempts of securing a law firm to represent me i decided to go it alone , only to be up against Tim Du Toit & Co Inc attorneys who have blatantly corrupted and manipulated court room procedures to their own advantage ! Yes, they have previously been mentioned in an article in Noseweek - Dlamini vs Absa Bank . I have so far encountered the same corruption , case was shifted to North Gauteng High Court and Judge Hiemstra acted entirely in favor of the gangsters who purchased my home on the sale of execution !! Please can someone from Noseweek contact me for the full story !

Not only do these same attorneys who act on the bank's panel but pretend to assist you by accepting your hard earned money and double deal you to the bank's advantage ! A liar - is an attorney with a roving commission !
