Home lender serves Philippoussis with bankruptcy notice Vanda Carson November 23, 2010 THE tennis ace Mark Philippoussis has been hit with a bankruptcy notice after defaulting on his mortgage over his home in the Melbourne suburb of Williamstown. The lender, Perpetual Trustee Company, applied to the Federal Magistrates Court in Sydney yesterday for ''substituted service'' of the bankruptcy notice, which means that Perpetual can formally give the notice to Philippoussis's lawyer or representative. Philippoussis is in the US. The moves to bankrupt Mark Philippoussis come after earlier attempts to repay the mortgage by selling the three-level townhouse failed. He borrowed about $1.2 million from lender General Motors Acceptance Corporati- on (GMAC) in February 2008 to buy the townhouse overlooking Port Phillip Bay, which he shared with his mother, Rossna. This loan was later on-sold to Pepper Home Loans after GMAC withdrew from the Australian market. The chief operating officer for Pepper Homeloans, David Holmes, said that Perpetual was pursuing Philippoussis because the home had sold for $835,000 in November 2009, less than the amount owed to the lender. ''The owners of the loan, GMAC, are continuing to sue Mark, but Perpetual are the lender of record,'' Mr Holmes said. Pepper Homeloans' involvement had ceased when the home was sold, he said. 澳洲網球名將"菲利浦西斯"，因未付清在墨爾本的房屋借款，收到破產通知。 信託公司-Perpetual Trustee Company，在昨天向雪梨的聯邦地方法院申請 破產通知的"代替派送"，以此公司的名義，告知菲利浦西斯的律師或其代理 人，而菲利浦西斯現在人還在美國。 在還未面臨此窘境前，菲利浦原先想藉著賣掉郊區的房子，來抵押這筆債務 ，他在2008的2月份，向"通用汽車金融服務公司"(GMAC)借了120萬，買下可 以俯瞰"飛利浦灣"景色的郊區別墅，並與她的母親共同分擔這筆財產。 這筆債權，在GMAC退出澳洲市場後，轉賣給Pepper Home Loans借貸公司。 此公司的承辦業務人-David Holmes說，Perpetual信託公司之所以追著菲利浦 西斯，是因為那棟別墅在2009年的11月份，只以83萬5千元售出，不足以填補現 今的債務，GMAC繼續與菲利浦纏訟，但Perpetual才是名義上的債權方。 而Pepper Home loans的業務範圍，在該別墅被賣掉後，也隨之結束。 Philippoussis, 34, who was once ranked No. 8 in the world, was also sued by Perpetual in the Victorian Supreme Court last year over a claim for $1.3 million. It was alleged that he defaulted less than a year after taking out the loan. Philippoussis last played on the ATP world tour in 2006 but won an event for retired professional players, the Champions Series final, in Arizona last month. Several current and former players, including triple Wimbledon finalist Andy Roddick and grand slam winner Jim Courier, have said that Philippoussis was capable of returning to the ATP tour. Philippoussis has had six knee operations and it is widely acknowledged that he never reached his full potential. A spokesman for Perpetual did not return the Herald's calls. 菲利浦西斯今年34歲，排名曾一度來到世界第8，去年被Perpetual信託控告， 聲稱菲利浦不履行130萬的債務，還拖延了至少一年。 菲利浦西斯上次參加ATP巡迴賽是在2006年，上個月在美國的亞利桑納州，與 退休職業選手們參與的比賽中-Champions Series奪得冠軍。 包括三屆溫網亞軍-Andy Roddick，和已退休的4次大滿貫冠軍-Jim Courier， 他們都認為菲利普有能力回到ATP巡迴賽打球。 菲利浦動過6次的膝蓋手術，他被公認為從未發揮出真正的潛力。 而Perpetual信託的發言人，之後沒有回應關於債務訴訟的傳喚。 http://tinyurl.com/2dn56pp --
