        American banks causing more misery in Britain which is how and why the credit crunch originally came about which manifested into the biggest recession the world has ever seen. Why hasn't our government learnt from all this still?

        Saw someone on the news complaining about mortgage rate of 5% .. presumably if rates had been higher they would have benefitted ...talk about being wise after the event . All my 25 year mortgage was at 5% am I due a refund for rates that were lower during that time ?

        We’re stuck with bad Northern Rock. We are interest free as we have never been able to pay full repayments. We’re desperately trying to remortgage with another company but we’re labelled as high risk, and can’t get a good choice. We earn combined 70k for only 200k mortgage

        Why moan, they are paying intrest but they have an asset that's increasing in value. They signed on the dotted line for the morgage and committed to repay with intrest, have they over committed themselves The intrest rate is unfortunate but may have naturally reached this level
