I have just found out that the house my mother was living in before she died had a Shared Appreciation Mortgage for £16,000 on it. and Royal Bank of Scotland want a payment of £176,000!! That is 11 times the original amount borrowed. I have seen that RBS is in court this month as some customers have decided to sue. There are thousands of people out there who have been miss-sold these mortgages, is there anything that can be done about this outrageous case of greed?

My condolences on your loss but without trying to be flippant, given your mother has passed and you only found out after the event, how can you argue she didn't know about this or want it? Was she of sound mind when she took it out 24+ years ago? These were documented in the media as well a few years after the product was withdrawn - Which in August 2003, Saga Magazine in September 2006 and August 2007, BBC Inside Out September 2014
You will have to wait for the court case to end and see what the outcome is

Shared appreciation was only offered by Bank of Scotland and Barclays.I suggest you reread the paper work and determine which company it was.0
