Who wants to help publicise the mortgage shortfall nightmare?

As many of you will know, I'm being asked for a mortgage shortfall by Eversheds for Abbey. In other words, I'm not a journalist, just another poor sod (with only a part-time job and two children aged 4 and 1) who knows the stresses involved. But I also know, there's something not right about this. As a result of contacting a group of people via this web page, and through other contacts, I have received some expressions of interest from the media in publicising the whole 'mortgage shortfall' industry, especially the pressure tactics of the solicitors (including their reluctance and slowness to give accurate details of their clients' claims) and the way in which people trying to rebuild their lives after repossession get hammered all over again - but this time along with their new children and marriages. So send me your stories, and let's get moving. I'm not going to give details of the media interest, and please consider replying to me privately, because we all know that lenders and their solicitors etc visit these web pages. The truth is the truth. What have we all got to lose? If anyone is doubtful of my 'credentials', e-mail me and we'll take it from there. I may also need to check you out too. My ideal outcome would be a government inquiry, followed by legislation. The current mish-mash of case law is a nightmare (thank god for the incoming Human Rights Act in October, which may see some movement here.) All best, Eleanor Scott.
