    The bank should be able to furnish your friend with a copy of the paperwork if she asks, so that's no excuse.

    OP, if your friend has lost the paperwork, ask the bank for another copy. They should have it on file.

    If you're saying the bank have lost it then that's another matter.

    she tells me that the bank didn't clarify the time scale and paperwork was more or less put under her nose to sign.

    Sorry, that is not possible. She is either mistaken or intentionally hoodwinking you.
    Yes we all make mistakes but im sure that is exactly what the banks and lending houses bank on.

    Pretty hard to make a mistake on a mortgage vs personal loan. The paperwork level is miles apart. On the upside, a secured loan would be cheaper than a personal loan and Lloyds allow overpayments and early repayment without penalty outside of the deal period (which would be long gone by now).
    t there any recourse for this and if so who is the best people to deal with it?

    As she is likely to have been better off financially, its hard to see what she is looking for. Plus, her story really does not add up to reality.

    If it was some sort of further advance on the mortgage the paperwork wouldn't just be shoved under her nose in the branch.

    A formal offer would be issued, and sent to her at her home.
