Know If You Are A Victim Of Mis Sold Mortgages

By Mike Ryan


Mis sold mortgages come from a scenario wherein a mortgage was sold by giving the buyer inaccurate information. Certainly this is caused by the broker's greed to gain a large commission by victimizing innocent individuals whose only desire is to have a property of their own.

As it was observed that a large number of property owners were complaining about mis selling the Financial Service Authority (FSA) carried out more stringent rules on November 2008 to be able to fix the issue.

Evidently, in spite of the implementation by the FSA not all mortgage brokers took heed in following it. The most common scam committed was totally disregarding the capacity of the client to pay the mortgage in the long run. An example is giving the client a mortgage which is payable in 20 years when he is already 50 years of age. Should the rules of the FSA be followed, the broker should inform the client the possibility on how he should settle the mortgage after he reach his retirement age of 65.

Another possible shortcoming that can prove mis sold mortgages is the inability of the broker to ask for a proof of income of the buyer. Since this is one of the requirements to secure a mortgage there is a probability that it was either forged by the broker for the purpose of closing the deal as well as to acquire a higher mortgage rate.

Furthermore the shortcoming of the broker to see the buyer the circumstances involve in the event that he chooses fixed interest rates with his mortgage and it commenced into variable rates after a certain time period. Will the buyer's financial condition manage it when it comes about? Did the particular broker helps him appraise the future circumstance?

From any given condition that the inappropriate actuations of the broker applies to your situation then it is definite that you are among the many who has been a victim of mis sold mortgages. Therefore, it's the right of any consumer to have this corrected most especially in case your property is on the verge of repossession.

Seemingly, it will be advantageous if you will employ a legal consultant to help you with your claims because they are far more experience in managing these kinds of cases. Furthermore, if you're concern about the charges then you can search among the many online sites that offer their services on a "no win no pay" scheme.

It is but appropriate that all victims of mis sold mortgages be granted to get compensation from the broker that misguided them with their mortgage. For this reason proof must be proven to be able to convince the Monetary Ombudsman Service (FOS). With this hiring a good legal counselor can definitely help you win your case.
