Consumer Affairs Victoria suspends converyancer Anh Ngoc Nguyen's licence
The Director of Consumer Affairs Victoria has suspended western Melbourne suburbs converyancer Anh Ngoc Nguyen.
Nguyen, trading as Compact Conveyancing Services, had his conveyancer’s licence suspended based on serious concerns about his St Albans business practices.
He had about 40 conveyancing matters in progress.
Consumer Affairs Victoria has contacted those clients to inform them of the situation.
CAV director Claire Noone said anyone who has concerns about conveyancing work done by Nguyen should contact Consumer Affairs Victoria for advice.
The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal has begun a disciplinary inquiry into Nguyen’s conduct. His licence will remain suspended until the tribunal makes further orders.
The department has advised consumers should never engage a conveyancer who is suspended or unlicensed, as it can affect claims on professional indemnity insurance or the Victorian Property Fund if something goes wrong.
