BSA comments on LSE report on Mortgage Prisoners

BSA says that LSE/Martin Lewis report on mortgage prisoners takes the bull by the horns and is to be welcomed.  

A BSA spokesperson welcomed the report published today by the LSE entitled Releasing the mortgage prisoners which has been privately funded by Martin Lewis of MoneySavingExpert:

“This report takes the bull by the horns and explores government actions that may help some of the many mortgage prisoners for whom the FCA modified affordability rules won’t work.  The LSE report has echoed our consistent call for the FCA perimeter to be extended to closed mortgage books and we welcome recognition that Government has an important role to play.”
