    This loan was given to us without any risk assessment, without any valuation.

    Which was their choice as a lender.
    made us take it

    No-one 'made' you take anything.
    or getting all or part of the loan written off?!

    None whatsoever.

    i got a secured loan on my house in 2007 but i KNEW what i was getting into and i KNEW they were offering me the money and i KNEW i had to pay it back! i am now struggling as i lost my job but can i just ring them up and ask for it to be written off NO,can i blame them NO as i was the one who walked into the bank and asked for the loan,now unless the sales person who sold you the loan decided to pull out a gun and say sign this agreement or else i suggest you grow up and man up to your choice,i did and have no one to blame but my self.....

    The advice above stands. You might not like it but that's how it is. You need to start formulating a plan rather than looking for blame.
    You made a choice to borrow money, that choice has backfired. Things happen, it's how you deal with it that counts.
    You've had somewhat less-than-friendly replies because your first post really seems to be saying "it's all the lenders fault" - which it isn't.

    You've been given advice and you've ignored it. Your ridiculous standard of language is giving me a headache. As is your attitude. I'm done.

    listen, i can understand your situation but the way you come across espescially in your first post is you took a loan out have now regretted it and have admitted you want the loan written off,like i said its a situation i understand but im afraid it just does not work like that,you say you went in for advice and didnt want a loan,the thing is if thats the case as soon as the sales person mentioned the word LOAN you should have said wait no i dont want that,if you see what i mean:(
