And now its coming over here. I heard a trailer for a programme. Apparantly they have been giving people mortgages even if they are on benefit, and up to 16 times salary.

Greed, pure greed, without any conscience. Get them in debt, get the commission and dont worry about any consequences.

we just got over the misselling of pensions, and now this. I wonder how many of the greedy, amoral 'advisers' who missold pensions have also been the ones misselling mortgages??? Bet theres a few names on both lists, but we probably will never know.
