Mother-of-11 Virginia Fletcher says she has failed her children.<\/p>\n

Mother-of-11 Virginia Fletcher says she has failed her children.\u00a0A Current Affair<\/p>\n

Fletcher is a victim of the Beechwood Homes collapse, having paid $405,000 outright for a home that was never delivered.<\/p>\n

The company went into liquidation in May, leaving behind $30 million in debt and multiple unfinished projects.<\/p>\n

Works on Fletcher\u2019s new six-bedroom home never began, leaving her with a vacant block at Muswellbrook in the NSW Hunter Region.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel because it (was) such a well-known company, it didn\u2019t raise any concerns or red flags,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Fletcher says the insurance was never processed for the build, which was due for completion in October 2025.<\/p>\n

Vic Cavasinni operated Beechwood Homes for more than 18 years after saving the company from collapse in 2008.<\/p>\n

Fletcher says she received a letter from Cavasinni in February stating he did not understand how the upfront payment was accepted, and that it had been \u201capproved by a team member (who) no longer works for [the company]\u201c.<\/p>\n

The director also offered Fletcher a partial refund, but she says he never followed through.<\/p>\n

Fletcher says she has been forced to sell her current home and when the sale settles in nine months, they will have nowhere to go.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve looked into rentals, I can\u2019t afford a rental big enough for my family,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mother-of-11 Virginia Fletcher says she has failed her children. \u201cThe kids don\u2019t get new shoes anymore, they don\u2019t…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":829052,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[64,63,99],"class_list":["post-829051","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/829051","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=829051"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/829051\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/829052"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=829051"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=829051"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=829051"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
