Ones a used car dealer, went down to Mannheims auctions but couldnt afford anything as prices going too high

Needs to sell cars this month to make the payment.

[amir_j]

see the first family despite the arrears are hardly cutting back. Flora butter - get tesco value you muppets and sell all home contents instead of siting around moping.

How many motorbikes have these people got??

With so many companies going to the wall, and 1000's out of work, the rate of reposession will increase, poor buggers. Easy to sit on the wall and knock them caught up in the reposession trap, but some are genuine caught in the trap siutation.

[darronwall]

i am sure there aregenuine cases and for those people who say have lost there jobs i.e.woolies ect,i feel for them,but a lot of people live for today and dont give a fk about tommorow ,this is the problem with a lot of people and i have no sympathy whatsoever.
i just look forward to the glut of cheap houses this next year,sounds a bit calous but i think of my families future not a big bloody telly or a new m3

Jesus.

The builder and wife who bought for 40k but then re mortgaged for another 150k on an ex council house.

They claimed they needed the money and have spent it on the house - im sorry the house looks scanky to me, no way in the world mucca. They dont exactly look like they have starved either. I wonder where his Audi TT and holiday pictures are 'hidden'

Truly shocking stuff.

Got to be the worst career move in the word for the Mortgage advisor???

Which trap?

[littlegreenfairy]

The builder bloke - he needs a couple of hundred to make ends meet right? Why the hell do they still have flat screen tv's, playstations and all sorts of goodies. If it was between pawning or the bailiff, I know what I'd go for!!

Absolutley. I seek no satisfaction in watching this but i have to say that i find little sympathy, surely you always consider all scenarios when getting a Mortgage or do not keep re-mortgaging and pissing the money away?

Or is my logic flawed? I would just want the bloody thing paid off and all the bricks and mortar mine.

my thought exactly!! do you think all the money they raised remortgaging,any got spent on the property?
did it bks!and they wont have a cent to show for it,and soon they will be looking at the local authority to sort the problem out by accomodating them!!
having just paid my tax bill, my piss is boilin'

[KANEIT]

So far, and I must add I missed the start, I haven't seen the stereotypical tt who's gone out and bought all the latest everything, fancy fitted kitchen, ensuite, flash motor, designer labelled clothes for't kiddies, Apple laptop etc etc and can't really afford it. All seem to have made simple mistakes in their business affairs, are victims of circumstance or don't have a great deal of (financial) sense.
I bet that lender could be kicking themselves now not accepting the offer for their house.

Yea, i saw that, especially the bit when they said due to money problems, the Missus would have to go out and get a job!

Shocking!

[littlegreenfairy]

Swearing at and threatening the council chappy is really going to get them a house isn't it...

And surely you'd start looking properly before 2 hours before the eviction!!

I wonder if any viewers are sat watching thinking 'thats the bloke who sorted our mortgage' 'oh fk'

[chr15b]

a situation i'd hate to be in

[AndyWoodall]

I've got mixed feelings about this, I feel sorry for them, its clearly a very unpleasant experience, but on the other hand these aren't children.

I thought the same, WTF??!! They didn't say what they'd spent it on except for doing the place up and the only defence was something like "well no one reads the small print do they?" That woman irritates me to be honest.

That big chap is discovering the huge shortfall in council housing, I think he's lucky to get a caravan to be honest.
