    i;ve got a good one.

    Bloke took out a mortgage 2 years ago and got it fast tracked.

    now split from his wife and wants a t of e.

    bank now asking for income proof, which he can't get, or at least can't get to prove that it matches his income (he thinks the bank should use the income he had for a company that closed a year ago).

    Now he's saying thats why the bank are in such a state.

    He can't fathom that some applications are fast track and later on a bank may request proof.

    I wonder if there are any professionals out there who know what they are talking about?
    No idea if they are professional or not, but the following responses from the thread may help:

    "I don't think mortgages were regulated 7 years ago. So you can't pursue a complaint via the Ombudsman. "

    "BTL is a commercial loan therefore unregulated."

    "It is assumed in law that as you are running a business, ie BTL, you are aware of the risks involved. There is why they are regulated in a different way to residential loans. "

    "when it comes to self cert mortgages...they are what it says on the tin...you self certified you could afford these mortgages...."

    You have no case. Sorry.

    It's *very* difficult to successfully claim that a mortgage was mis-sold. Unless there was an error on the part of the lender (miscalculated interest, term not the one you stated on your application form, that sort of thing) it's near-impossible. And even then, you get the problems others have mentioned over the fact that it was a self-cert unregulated BTL loan.

    If you're struggling with debt, it might help you to post a statement of affairs over on the Debt-Free Wannabe board (see the stickies). They're also a bit friendlier over there!

    I didn't see hostility so much as mirth. Guess that's the wonder of online forums, no simple way of telling.
