    Likewise, income MUST be checked on mortgage applications - self-cert can be proved using tax info or accounts.

    It was this mess that got the world into the economic mess we're in now - liar loans need to be stopped.

    I know they're prevalent because I was offered one - told to lie by a broker. (I didn't take it, needless to say.)

    Build vastly more council houses and end right-to-buy - or only continue with it if as many new 'social' houses are built as are sold.

    Introduce registration of landlords - providing a home is vital, and there are many who view it as a way to make an easy buck & do not fulfil their responsibilities to provide safe, adequate housing.
  • Make fee charging debt advice companies illegal. There is a wonderful free debt advice network out there and nobody should be paying to consolidate loans etc.

    Compulsory accountancy and home economics/nutrition classes for all students, right up to school leaving age. These should be included as core subjects.

    Hi my idea isn't really about credit cards or mortgages type things but here goes, please don't laugh.....

    I think that people should be given more time to pay parking fines, or even a pay a bit a month.
