Inspired by recent hikes by both AIB and BoI in particular, I was wondering what people's views are on the banks plans to deal with what can surely only now be mounting arrears. I would particularly suspect that BTL arrears, already high, are bound to increase quite substantially given what have been very sudden and relatively high rate increases.
I can only assume that AIB/BoI have some sort of plan to tackle this, but seeing as they have shown themselves to be very reluctant to repossess, I assume they are gearing up to appoint rent receivers more aggressively to ensure any cash flow from the properties are directed fully to them. I may be giving them too much credit though.
Any views? What shape is the response to mounting arrears going to take?
