Pensioners face losing their home after dream turns into nightmare

When Phil and Eunice built their home in Diamond Creek, it was everything they'd dreamed of.

But with a myriad of defects, they hired building inspector Glenn Jones to help them take on the builder in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

However, their builder went into liquidation and so the VCAT case was abandoned, leaving the pensioners drowning a debt of mortgage repayments and legal bills.

So when Jones offered the couple a solution to their plight, they signed on the dotted line to stay in their home.

But what they didn't realise was Jones had taken out a hefty loan with steep interest.

Now several years later they face being booted.

Glenn Jones told A Current Affair he denies any wrongdoing in his dealings with Phil and Eunice Goude and says that there were numerous discussions over a period of months before any agreement was signed.

FULL STATEMENT FROM MARSHALLS+DENT+WILMOTH LAWYERS ON BEHALF OF GLENN JONES

As the subject matter of your story is presently before the Supreme Court it would be inappropriate to provide a detailed comment as to each specific allegation, however our client denies any wrongdoing in his dealings with Phil and Eunice Goude.

It was Phil and Eunice Goude who first approached our client regarding the property and there were then numerous discussions over a period of months before any agreement was signed.

Phil and Eunice Goude were not pressured into entering any agreement and it was our client's understanding that they were at all times represented by an independent lawyer and had the benefit of legal advice in relation to the transfer of the property into the trust that was established for their benefit.
