Plus spare a thought for #mortgageprisoners who've been paying over the odds for 15 years. Many will now have totally unaffordable 9% mortgages. Help for them is desperately needed.

I am working on a special summer series looking at how people are managing with the cost of living crisis. Really keen to hear from families or households who have changed a lot of their habits and spending to protect themselves against rising costs. Get in touch! And pls share🙂

Thanks for pushing @Jeremy_Hunt for #mortgageprisoners to be included in #Budget2023 After hearing @hmtreasury in the @UKHouseofLords yesterday I don't think many have opened the report yet. We must keep up the pressure, till they put right their wrong doings & free 200k victims

Indeed you did and nationalised the Northern Rock and sold it on making 2.4 billion. You sold our mortgages on to non active lenders knowing the risks. You betrayed us and created mortgage prisoners. You have destroyed families and lives. We Justice for @mortgageprison
“Thirteen years ago, we inherited an economy which had crashed” @Jeremy_Hunt on today’s #Budget2023. Who could forget their letter?

Thankyou so much for raising this . What a state we are in . Begging govt to help us for over a decade . They put us here and they have left protection absent from the sale , the sale that made them 2.4 billion surplus . Value for the tax payer? We are the tax payer !
#MortgagePrisoners - what a state our country is in when @MartinSLewis could be their saviour. In 2021 #HouseofLords voted for action to help them, but government over-ruled @APPGMortgage

As a tax payer & #mortgageprisoner I think it’s fair I saw some of the multi-billion profit you made when selling my mortgage on to an inactive, profiteering lender (Heliodor>Topaz>@Computershare). #Budget23 #Budget4MortgagePrisoners @RachelReevesMP @APPGMortgage @FishwickDavid

The Chancellor @Jeremy_Hunt steps up to deliver the budget and says mortgage rates are lower. He clearly has failed to look at #mortgageprisoners rates! But @griffitha @hmtreasury @Conservatives would rather victim blame those they sold to non lending entities @ukmortgageprison

How can Heliodor, my "mortgage company", which is not a mortgage company, merely a debt-collector, charge me a standard variable interest rate. Don't those only apply to active mortgages? @mortgageprison

#c5debate There are 195000 mortgage prisoners like Nicholas. The rest of the audience are rightly worried about going onto rates of 5-6%. 195k @mortgageprison sold to non lenders on 5%+ for 10+years going to 7,8%+ govt sold our mortgages to non lenders. Crisis within crisis

The situation for many mortgage prisoners (those trapped after the financial crash with non-market lenders) was desperate enough before these interest rate rises. I've campaigning on this for years. It's very tough going. We haven't stopped though. Its v worrying.
Replying to @MartinSLewis
@MartinSLewis #mortgages Please highlight the hell for mortgage prisoners . People are worried at 5% we have paid 5 % and above for a decade we will hit 9%

How many @mortgageprison will receive first #CostOfLiving payment of £326 next month BUT at same time also repay more than this extra per month and every month on unfair mortgage rates ? Ridiculous but true @RishiSunak @JohnGlenUK @mortgageprison
