We read the articles, watched the horror stories unfold on television and listened to endless talk on radio chat shows about repossessions, evictions and what not . . .
Our family business is almost non existant at the moment and we are having difficulties paying our mortgage each month.
My wife and I have listened to hours of scare mongering stories and were petrified meeting our mortgage provider to inform them of our predicument.
We were like too deers caught in a head light meeting with our provider. They must have literally thought we were insane!
The meeting went well; we weren't threated or intimidated in any way as the media would have you believe.
I am not doubting that people have had horrendous experiences but we were expecting to be treated with contempt but found this not to be the case.
Ironically, the provider thanked us for turning up and thanked us for being so honest. It was a totally non threatening envirnoment.
My point being; why were we treated differently to the people that are showing up on television programmes and the few that ring radio stations with stories?
Where we just lucky to have spoken to someone with a bit of understanding?
