The problem is the high intrest & repayments that are normally the problem... On your figures... to me it looks mis sold...

| Well, when you took it out did it not seem wrong to you? |

well RHB we took it out in july 2006 and back then the market was on a high and i guess we were just pleased that it went through, a little gobsmacked, but you TRUST the experts, when i questioned them about wht we were allowed this much money ( this was when we started gettig into trouble, and were trying to arrange a paymet plan with them )they said that they gave us 125% loan to vaue and that it was done on a desktop valuation of our property at the height of house prices, so as i say now that we are BR and the dust has settled you start to look back at what has happened and ask the questions as to whether things could of been avoided, and its niggling at me that this was somehow not right, what ever happened to resposible lending ?
moving forward to new beginnings

| Well, they lent it you because they thought house prices would rise enough that if you defaulted they would still get their money back. |

Firstly i know very little about mis-sold loans I thought it was all mainly about PPI policies. Having worked in a bank you will definitely know more than me about it. Surely you would have signed something to say your earnings would cover the payments on the secured loan?
I would imagine this is where you would have to be very cautious as it could come back on you that you somewhere gave the impression your incomes were more than they were to get the secured loan.
I know when we took an extra loan against our property a few years ago our incomes were checked and double checked with us even on self-cert and when we took our original mortgage our solicitor even wrote to confirm our incomes.
Sometimes things are best left alone in my opinion. Especially if the property is gone now.
Sorry can't help any more! |
