Listing to Money Box and the story is an old dear with an interest only mortgage that has been told she needs to repay the capital, she is up in arms that the bank are not allowing her to stay in the property till she dies paying the just the interest, after which they can sell the property.
I know everyone is anti bank, and how they are picking on the little people, but it was refreshing to hear that the presenter trying to give her the opportunity to be a sob story, but at every turn it seems the bank has been doing decent things, giving her more time, writing in big letters on statement that she is only paying back the interest and she will need to find the capital.
Please tell me, as I hope and suspect, that the extreme cases are the ones that get out in the public, and that editors/producers are just trying to make the banks look bad and running out of examples of them doing so.
