    I'll say again.

    Why would someone help somebody who cant help themselves.

    Because they need help.

    That all makes sense and that is what I mean by banks should help all they can within reason, but if all the above fails what would be a reasonable timescale to start proceeding to kick them out?

    Personally, I would not put a time limit for all encompassing situations.

    Let's say there is a family who have made payments on time for 15 years out of the 25 year mortgage.
    They then fall on hard times, being unemployed for 18 months.

    Surely there's leeway to give the family time to get themselves back on their feet for that couple of years.

    On the otherhand, if someone has a mortgage for 6 months and miss three payments then maybe the reposession should be followed through quicker.

    As you can see, I don't think its a simple case of saying 1,2,6,12,24 months carte blanche

    I went to Morocco recently and was besieged by people begging or trying to sell scraps of trinkets, carvings, postcards, pictures of their children in national dress, baby donkeys, anything they thought they could raise a little bit of money by. And I probably only saw the more palatable side of their money making attempts.

    They don't get any government assistance if they can't find work. I presume that's what you would like over here?
