Response to Bradford & Bingley Mortgage Rescue Scheme

from One Angry Mother (madcow678@hotmail.com)
This sounds like Bradford & Bingley have scandalously taken advantage of you all at a time when they know there was not much you could do, and seeing the positions you were in when you signed these agreements, I should image good legal advice was too expensive to obtain. People will sign anything when they are desperate and unable to think clearly.

It would seem a good idea to me that you *all* write to the Financial Ombudsman about this matter. I think they usually only uphold complaints for three years after the error is realised, but it's worth a try, especially if you all get the name of one person and write to that person. You certainly won't get anywhere if you don't do anything. BUT, it really needs you all to write for them to take notice.

I would also suggest copying your MP's and even perhaps the Prime Minister. The Halifax offered a similar scheme, which at the time was completely out of our financial grasp, but it wasn't as dubious as this one. I think I would also contact the newspapers - the Daily Mail love these type of scandals, again, the more of you that contact them independently, the more notice they will take.
