This programme can reveal that 150,000 homeowners who are prevented from switching to a cheaper deal are suing the firms they say are responsible. They call themselves mortgage prisoners trapped on expensive rates with defunct lenders. Some have paid tens of thousands of pounds over they odds and they re not allowed to be offered new deals or remortgages. Andy verity has the story. Dad worked in this area as a countryside ranger and helped landscape and develop the area. We were asked to come back when it came up vacant. At this bungalow overlooking a reservoir near rochdale, Neville Herron and his wife first lived as tenants, but in 2003, the Water Company that owned the land decided on short notice to sell it. He scrambled to get a mortgage in time with Northern Rock, borrowing £100,000. Then a few years later when Northern Rock collapsed and fell into taxpayers hands, he was told nothing would change. The first two years, they gave us a fixed mortgage rate, which was a good amount. Then they gave us another one, fixed rate. Again, when we were due for another one, nram thenjumped in and took over as Northern Rock crashed. We were not then allowed to go on to a fixed rate, but we werent particularly aware of what was going on at the time. We just sort of accepted it, because they said all the terms and conditions and everything were the same. At first, neville and his wife couldnt work out why they were struggling. I was having to work two jobs, late at night, getting home at 11 oclock at night. Travelling about, working really hard. And finding that our friends were able to do all sorts of things that we couldnt do. We couldnt understand and it was putting a great strain on our marriage why we couldnt do the same as other people could do. Change their car, go to the bahamas and other places. And we were just doing day trips to places like blackpool and whitby and things like that. It was only years later that neville realised hed been paying far more than he would have done on a competitive mortgage rate. We were on Something Like 6 and 7 , which was a lot more than what other people were on. So i then worked out how much i would have paid had i been given a fixed rate, and it was well over £32,000 that i had paid extra. Nevilles loan was among 270,000 former Northern Rock mortgages transferred from the Government Owned Company nram to private Companies Just over three years ago, part of the biggest privatisation in british history. It cut Government Debt and made big money for buyers. Neville was eventually able to move to a slightly cheaper loan that saved him just £40 per month, but many of the mortgage borrowers were even more trapped with no chance of moving to a cheaper deal. They call themselves mortgage prisoners. For some, it has caused great distress. Looking back and thinking about the people who have been repossessed, if they had had that money on their mortgage situation, some people had a lot more than us, some are a lot less, they wouldnt have got into arrears and wouldnt have been repossessed, wouldnt have had Mental Health problems. The lead Company Buying the mortgages was a giant american firm, cerberus. Named after the mythical 3 headed dog that guards the gates of hell. Last year, panorama revealed that cerberus told the government it was planning to offer homeowners Better Mortgage deals before it bought the former Northern Rock mortgages in 2016, but that never happened. Cerberus disputed this and said it didnt agree to any new Lending Programme as part of its agreement with the government. There is a big contrast here between how the treasury treated the mortgage borrowers, and how they treated the big city institutions that lent Northern Rock money. Whereas the borrowers are sometimes told, you got into deep told, you got in too deep and its your own fault, thats a message that doesnt go to the big city institutions who got bailed out by taxpayers, got all their interest and all their money back. The mortgage prisoners are launching legal action today to sue the companies that took on the former Northern Rock mortgages, claiming back interest that they say they have been unfairly overcharged. Everybody knows that if at the end of the month they cant meet their mortgage payments, other things have to go. Some people have got into terrible financial situations. Some people have gone into arrears when they wouldnt otherwise have been. Some people have been repossessed. The core mortgage prisoner complaint is that they are charged a higher rate because they are prisoners, because they cant escape. Rachel neale, who campaigns for mortgage prisoners from her home says they are now hearing heartbreaking stories with some borrowers becoming suicidal. Earlier this year, the mail reported that back in 2013, sajid javid, then a treasury minister, had an opportunity to prevent mortgage borrowers becoming trapped, but then he decided against it. Rachel confronted sajid javid before the election about that report. All i want to know is, are you going to help us now . What are you going to do . Sajid javid didnt answer questions about the report but gave rachel his advisers card to set upa meeting. As christmas approaches, some trapped borrowers have the threat of repossession hanging over them.
