Complaint 224786 Details

I lived in vernon and he lived in kelowna. I had owned my own home for 19 years with over 130,000.00 worth of equity in my home. We met on line in Sept 2009 after courting and suducing me, I stayed with him in the summer of 2010 after he convincing me to sell my home in Vernon. In November 2010 I was planning on moving out because something was not feeling right and he turned around and put an unconditonal offer on a property and puts my name on the contract. I was cornered by him and the unlicensed assistant to put money down on the property. I was in love with him. Confused, he told me I was in breach if I did not put money down. I was in shock. I gave him the money. He then went to a mortgage broker behind my back and applied and qualified for a mortage with out me. But the money laundring laws he had to prove where the down payment came from. \he had to tell me that he had applied for the mortgage. Then 2 weeks later he asked me if I wanted to be on title of the property...when I said yes he tried to intimate me by telling me I would have to be on a $356,000.00 mortgage. I was the only person who put the money down on the place, he had not put anything down. v I knew that if i did not put my name on title I would loose it all. With in 7 months of moving in to the place he had become physically abusive and i had to leave with nothing. I have been put through court abuse from him. He gave me 32,000.00 of my 65,000.00 and not including flipping the bill for him to live for over two years with boose and food. I have all the paperwork to prove everything and more. I am still on the mortgage because he now cant quilify for the mortgage. I want my credit back and my money back. Out of financial despration I had to settle for 32,000.0 and stay on the mortgage. I had to sign an agreement to make it financially. He was also physically threatening me if I forced the sale of the house. He accused me of financially screwing him. I have lost everything, I rent now and own only a bed. He lives in the duplex with everything.
