Good morning all
I have just seen a Facebook post about interest only mortgages and miscalculated interest claims.
Is it a scam to collect your identity or is this a real possibility?
Many thanks
Wendy

Of course it's a scam.
And no it's not to collect your identity*.
They will want a fee to progress your "case".
That's the scam.
* except in the sense of adding you to a list of gullible people who can have additional scams aimed at them.0 -
The biggest scam is not having a repayment vehicle for your interest only mortgage - hopefully yours is all a-ok.0

Thanks all - I thought it was a scam, but just wanted to check.
And yes we are sorted re our mortgage - became mortgage free on 15/6/18 woo hoooo :-)0
