And historic pre GFC interest only mortgages happily sold by brokers with no repayment vehicles resulting in trapped customers following post crash regulatory change. Customers with no arrears, term end approaching and no effective policy protections for those customers

Those safeguards were taken away for 200k #mortgageprisoners when our mortgages were sold for a profit to inactive lenders, charged 6% SVR since 2008 now paying up to 10% @hmtreasury @LucyRigby @TheFCA @UKFtweets all ignoring the most vulnerable with highest risk of homelessness

Lenders should live up to their responsibilities and support mortgage borrowers who are struggling. There are safeguards to help those facing repossession and we're investing in the biggest boost to social and affordable housing in a generation and more than £1 bn in

Would really be interested in a conversation with @timstks Laurence Cawley @stephen_menon @JessicaMCUre The risk of homelessness from forced sales & repos our member's are experiencing is reaching crisis point. Trapped on SVRs up to 10% with inactive lenders the govt sold to

Wld like to know how many of the mortgage repos were from inactive lenders whose only aim is to make a profit off their customers charged high interest rates, cause yrs of financial detriment until the families are left with choice, forced sale or repossession #mortgageprisoners

@JonIronmonger UKMP have warned industry and govts that huge rises in homelessness and reposessions are around the corner. Our members have been paying over 6% since the 2008 crash with non lenders and no help. Govt sold us out! Members repossessed or forced to sell

Thanks again for highlighting the devastating stories #mortgageprisoners are living due to govt & regulators decision to make a profit over people's homes. Finances, homes & lives have been lost & will continue until @hmtreasury @LucyRigby support the families over the vultures

FFS if it wasn't bad enough that my mortgage got sold to a company that no longer lends so I can't get a better deal/extend my term, the bastards have now sold it on to a subsidiary of Topaz Finance so I'm even worse off as I've seen the horror stories of other mortgage prisoners

Thanks for your continued support in highlighting the catastrophic #MortgagePrisonerScandal which @UKLabour are also continuing to ignore just like the previous govt. Despite recognising harm to borrowers would continue if mortgages were sold for profit to private equity firms

Wanting to get more on the ladder by loosening affordability rules yet no help for 195k #ukmortgageprisoners Homes being lost today due to tightening of rules after the GFC, trapped customers suffering severe detriment for almost 2 decades. Where is the help to stop this harm?

First-time buyers will be supported to get on the housing ladder, with the Bank of England allowing more lending at over 4.5x a buyer’s income. This reform could help 36,000 more people buy a home over its first year. Find out more about the reforms below.
