Did Abbey National (or any other lender) get your hopes up in the Mail on Sunday only to dash them again?

from Eleanor Scott (eleanor.scott@btinternet.com)
There may well be a case to be made for complaining about the Mail on Sunday articles, if you feel they contain inaccurate and misleading statements by lenders likely to distress vulnerable people, to the Press Complaints Commission. Did a lender make a statement about their conduct which you know to be false? (E.g. providing proof, being sympathetic.) Did Abbey get your hopes up only to let you down when you realised that their 'concessions' weren't all they first seemed to be? The PCC have a web site (www.pcc.org.uk/) but complaints must be in writing. Write to: PCC, 1 Salisbury Square, London EC4Y 8JB. The articles which contains the misleading statements may well breach the PCC Code Article 1 on Accuracy. Perhaps at the very least someone who represents mortgage shortfall victims ought to be given the right of reply to these articles; ideally the PCC should have a look at these web pages and see the grim reality.
