"I have now been reimbursed the exact amount of discrepancy I had found using your service of $7,563.04 plus reimbursement of the cost of the package against my loan."
Ann-Maree Enders
"I have checked 2 mortgages and I have another 8 or 10 loans to go. So far I have found an overcharge of $5156.29 and then $684.98 for compounded interest. The loan started in September 2002 and is still in place. So thank you for your service, it will help make my money work for me rather than be used by the bank free of charge. This service sure is a real winner."
Edward Nixon .
“Your service has uncovered overcharging by my bank to the tune of almost $1,300 just for the last two years. Like so many others, I had assumed the Bank would get the figures correct.” 
Mike V
"We found a discrepancy of $8,643.00 on our fixed loan and this has now saved us $33,000 over the life of our loan."
Mrs. Mackenzie

I don't know about you, but I work hard to pay off my mortgage as quickly as possible. Then to have the bank make mistakes and incorrectly take money from my account is not only unfair, but insulting. I never considered it necessary to check the calculation of my bank statement. I didn't think there would be a need. I couldn't have been more wrong. Every day people are receiving bank statements in the mail for their mortgages, saving accounts, personal loans and overdrafts that they assume are correct, but they are totally mistaken.
Do you actually believe your bank or non-bank lender would never make a mistake on your account?


Here's what the experts have to say.
 "It would be naive to think there's such a thing as a perfect system, and that mistakes will never happen. Mistakes are a fact of life and I am not suggesting that banks intentionally do anything wrong…..  
Paul Clitheroe - Host of Channel 9's Money show and chief commentator for Money magazine 
"The era of trusting the banks has long gone." 
Justice Clarke, New South Wales Supreme Court. 
"Banks get almost every interest calculation on mortgages and overdrafts wrong at some point." 
- Roy Brown Managing Director of Interest Research Bureau (IRB). 

I can't believe how totally naive I had been, just accepting that the banks never actually made a mistake and my statements were 100% accurate. Now surely these mistakes are just tiny errors involving a few cents here and there? Well guess again. 
Banks Are Making Mistakes On Accounts Just Like Yours .... Every Day.
If you are like many people you may be tempted to think that "this can't happen to me" or that this "isn't a real problem and it's being blown out of proportion." Before you make that mistake think about this. The problem is that bank statements can be difficult to read and are not always what they seem. Some of the errors are very difficult to locate if you don't know what to look for.


"[In accounts for over 20 of my clients] I have discovered overcharges in approximately 75% of cases. The total of all mistakes, including overcharges of interest, fees and other irregularities amounts to over $500,000" 
– Joe Naggy former Citibank executive now runs Midmark Financial Services
“A recent survey of bank statements conducted by The Interest Savers for Sydney Morning Herald readers showed an error rate of 54%, ....... The Herald's switchboard was jammed for a week by callers wanting their statements checked.”
- Journal of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia
"The bank statements are never clean, [citing the experience of some 350 clients since IRB opened in 1994]. "Significant errors" occurred in 90% of statements.." 
- Roy Brown Managing Director of IRB

There is a way to keep the banks honest. We now have a simple and powerful service to check your bank statements quickly, easily and most importantly 100% accurately – ThinkLikeABank.com. But is it worth it? How often do these mistakes happen? Unfortunately, it is far more often than you would think.


We dug deeper and deeper and found that this system of overcharging is virtually universal ... It runs across the entire mortgage lending industry.”
- Robert Abrams Former New York State Attorney General

According to an independent audits by the F.S.L.I.C, mortgage overcharges occur in an estimated 45% of all Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMS) and cost Americans over $60 billion. The General Accounting Office confirms that almost 50% of ARMS have errors and overcharges to homeowners.
"The average error is about $100 per monthly statement.” 
Staggering isn’t it? When I discovered the rate at which banks made mistakes I was stunned but assumed it must have just been a few dollars here and there; $90 dollars per monthly statement is incredible.
 So what does this all mean? What does it add up to? You do your own sums, but here is what the statistics (and the most conservative ones at that) had me thinking when I first discovered them ...
Annual overcharges: $60,000,000,000
Homeowners with a home loan: 50,000,000
Average annual error per home loan: $1,200. So, on average over the last 5 years (ready for this?)
the average home loan has been overcharged $6.000.00!
According to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the U.S. government agency that insures or guarantees your bank deposits) home loan errors are costing Americans $8 billion to $10 billion each and every year.
Even if we use the lower number, provide by F.D.I.C., the amount of overcharges is outrageous.

Over the life of a 30 year home loan compounding at 5% p.a. each and every day, that comes to a whopping $13,620 Ouch!
Let me clarify that further government studies into home loan overcharges have shown that...

  • 45% of homeowners are due a refund in excess of $1,500
  • 21% of refunds due range from $3,500 up to more than $10,000
  • 13% of homeowners are due a refund of over $10,000
  • 70% of existing escrow accounts violate federal law by holding excessive balances

This means every other person reading this page is owed $ 1500 AND over 1 in 10 reading this page are owed over $10,000… (Are you one of them?)


"It's a good time to pull out your original loan documents and double-check the lender’s adjustments.You might be surprised at the results."
Robert Chamness an official with the American Bar Association and partner in the San Francisco law firm McKenna, Conner & Cuneo as reported in the Los Angeles Times

Don't get angry, get even...
get back what they owe you.

There is something you can do about this, you don't have to be a helpless victim of the banking system. Average homeowners around Australia are getting their money back from the banks every day. There are thousands of real life examples of people who have been over charged and been repaid anything from $400 to $100,000.


"Thanks everyone. I've just found $1,100.00 over the last 3 years owing to me from my bank in overcharged interest on a home and investment loan. They were totally shocked with being caught!"

Steve Atkin

The bad news is that knowledge is a dangerous thing. Knowing what you now know, you have to some extent cornered yourself into making an important decision. You will decide one way or another how you are going to deal with it. Before leaving this page you will select one of the following alternatives...even if you think you haven't decided. 


Option 1:

The first alternative is to either "think about it" or continue doing nothing and have the banks take advantage of you to the tune of  $200-500 a year on average. I suppose this is the ostrich approach, stick your head in the sand and hope it goes away, good luck with this one, you're going to need it. 

 

 

Option 2:

Ask the the very people who got it wrong in the first place - the banks - to check your statements for you. Generally they charge $200/hour to do this for you. Ask yourself this question, "why would I trust them to get it right this time if they couldn't before?" Isn't this a bit like putting the fox in charge of the hen house?

Option 3:

Call us to calculate your interest bill to check on the banks for you ....for less than the banks' hourly rate.

It is a bit of a "no brainer" isn't it?
To do nothing is either naive or nuts, as is paying the bank to check your statements for you.

How accurate is your service?

Why is this guarantee so important?

There are a few other companies on the market that "claim" to be accurate, we know about them because we have checked them all out. We checked them because we wanted to make sure that you have the very best tool available to get your money back from the banks. That's why we are prepared to GUARANTEE the results you will get with our service (you will find that no other company will actually guarantee you results.)

How can I get my money back from the banks?

We send you a "fill-in-the-blanks" letter for you to complete and send to your bank along with copies of your statements and a print out showing how the interest should have been calculated. The Banks want to give you your money back, the head of corporate relations of a major bank has said "When someone comes to us and says ‘You’ve done something wrong, then we don’t quibble, we do something about it.".

Will your servive handle all types of home loan accounts?

With the hundreds of home loan "products" on the market we are yet to find a loan type what the program could not handle. From our main page click on the ACCOUNTS button for more details.

How many years may I check?

For as many years as you have the records. If you find an error in and old statement don't forget to use the mistake compounder to get back every cent you are owed. The compounding affect of the interest on the error can be very significant over time and even at a low interest rate the error could double or triple in size.

Back to Top

You have checked two years worth of statements and not found an error. Can I assume all my statements will be clean?

Definitely not. You may even check 3 years worth of statements and find no errors and then suddenly you will start to find them. Some errors are computing errors and occur consistently and others are human error and only occur sporadically. The chances of your statements being error free is quite remote but if you are concerned check out our Success Guarantee on the home page.

Back to Top

What if interest rates etc. change during the month?

Not a problem the option is available to enter interest rate changes and the effective date of the change. It is during these times that it is double important to check your statements for errors.

Yes! You may find that the banks have not given you the benefit of Leap Years.
