A Palmerston North woman almost lost her house when a liquidator mistook her for someone else.

The woman, 29-year-old army medic Kim Dwyer, was mixed-up with an Auckland company director with the same name.

Dwyer says the liquidator has refused to compensate her for the $1735 she paid in legal fees.

"He says that I should have contacted him, which, obviously, I don't know how I would have done that - because they didn't know I existed."
