The world has changed for repossessions since nationalisation.

When Northern Rock was private it could repossess houses simply because the borrowers hadn't paid their mortgage.

Public bodies such as the Police, the Department of Transport and now Northern Rock can't take your house off you without complying with the Human Rights Act. Public authories have to show respect for a person's home. That is why councils have lengthy policies for when they may and may not evict council tenants. Here is one such policy from Newcastle City Council:-

Northern Rock's learned friends are about to find their lives have become alot harder.

From Sam Coates' Red Box:

it emerged that the legislation to nationalise the stricken bank excluded the offshore company, Granite, which controls £40 billion of the bank's mortgages. Opposition parties say these are some of the bank's most secure assets. This has allowed Vince Cable to say that Northern Rock has been left with "rubbish" assets and he is now threatening to withdraw his support for the bill pending further clarifications from the Treasury.

Left with the 'rubbish' mortgages, after paying millions to 'Consultants' and millionaire
salaries to boardmembers! Keep up the good work Vince Cable!

Can't find out who is behind Granite of Jersey.

Aptly-named Crock board members:

Philip Remnant was made non-executive chairman of the Shareholder Executive by Alistair Darling in June, just before he was appointed Chancellor.

Had Darling and co. had any sense, they have suspended all applications for repo for a period of one month for "review" as a good PR stunt.

But they wont, will they? Idiots.

2008-02-19T22:24:00.000Z

I had a Northern Crock mortgage for close on twenty years and during that time I was threatened with repossession twice due to redundancy and ill health. They added thousands in 'mortgage arrears admin fees'. At one point they charged me £150 per month for being 1 month behind in my payments. I like to think their current problem stem from the curse I placed on them a few years ago. But in reality I now know they're just greedy northern shits who deserve everything they're going to get. Trouble is, silly taxpaying sods like me will pick up the bill at the end.

Sandler was effectively put in charge of £100bn of taxpayers’ money when he was parachuted in as the new head of Northern Rock. That’s £3,500 worth of exposure for every taxpayer in Britain. However, an intriguing possibility has emerged – he may not be one of the British taxpayers exposed to the problem if his nationalisation plan backfires.

Ron Sandler may not be risking his own taxes.The former City executive was born in Zimbabwe and is said to hold a German passport. Therefore, he qualifies for non-domicile tax status and could benefit from Alistair Darling’s u-turn on proposals to clampdown on non-doms last week.

Public records indicate he may be taking advantage of the tax loopholes available to him. His sizeable Wimbledon mansion is owned by Sullana Investments, an offshore trust registered in the tax haven of Jersey.

Should the Treasury come clean on the biggest ever nationalised company being run by a non-British taxpayer?

From £450,000 at NatWest to £1,080,000 at Northern Rock. Brownite crony on big money. Smell a rat? Smell hundreds of them but they ain't leaving the sinking ship, they're all in the board room and cabinet.

"As of the time of writing this petition, Northern Rock appears to still be offering its infamous 125% loan-to-value mortgage as well as a variety of other risky or sub-prime mortgage products.

Given that these lending practices helped to bring the bank to its knees in the first place, that this kind of lending has contributed the dangerous credit bubble we are now in and that as UK tax payers we the undersigned have each been forced by the government to underwrite Northern Rock's loan book with several thousand pounds of our own money, we would like to petition Gordon Brown to return Northern Rock to a traditional low risk business model based on maximum mortgage lending of 3.5 times a person's salary or 3 times a couple's joint salary and a requirement for all mortgages to have at least a 20% deposit.

We the undersigned believe this is necessary in order to safeguard our money which has been used to support Northern Rock against our will."

I wonder if that cunt brown will be targeting conservative voters for repossession first!
and considering the government's imperative to make this less fucked up than it is and northern rock's desperation for cash, will the crock move faster to repossess than other banks?

you are about to be vigorously fucked.

The leaking, dripping arsehole that is Anonymous 3:33 PM, February 19, 2008 does well to be anonymous. He's obviously sucked so much cock himself that it's addled his brain. "Mongol" and the diminutive "mong" have long been seen as offensive and unacceptable as references people with Downes Syndrome. If you want to make slighting references behave like a man and leave the unoffending and defenceles alone. Let me guess cocksucker, you're bitter because you couldn't bring your mother to orgasm but the port watch from the boiler room of the USS Enterprise could, all syphilitic 27 of them. Or was it the awful realisation that you were only truly happy with a dildo up your arse?

Mardarse Minikunt should have kept off the tabs and the Broon Ale and concentrated on paying his mortgage off like the rest of us have to. It's no use whining now, the Labour-voting, dole-scrounging Geordie chav layabout.

I get fuckers like him trying to ponce free fish and chips off me every week. They've got no money to feed their kids but they've always got plenty for fags and booze and holidays in Lloret de Mar.

It's time they grew up and paid their way like the rest of us.

2008-02-19T15:44:00.000Z

Northern Rock will most probably hasten the approaching serious house price crash. They're going to start running down their mortgage business to start paying back the taxpayer. They will do this by upping their interest rates.

Approx 20% of the mortgage supply market will disappearing in the very near future - this has been Northern Rock's share. Not only will there be 20% less mortgages to go round, the other banks now have less competition and can increase the IRs they are demanding.

As the mortgage market collapses, prices will collapse as demand is a function of mortgage availability.

This is a silly comment Guido...if Northern Rock is seeking a repossesion order against this client he is likely to have been in default for more than a year!! This has nothing to do with socialist economics... its just sheer spite on your part!! get over it Guido!

No, you fucking mong, the point is that there would be a Labour cunt on the telly every five minutes telling us about the heartless bastards if there was a Tory Government.

Mind you we shouldn't expect too much wit from a Labour cock sucking acolyte.

Rich jon et al of your ilk, none of us knows the circumstances of Mr. Minnikin's repossession, other than that he (and perhaps his family) are being thrown out of their home for defaulting on their mortgage.

There are umpteen everyday reasons why this might have happened without it being foreseeable or being anyone's 'fault' e.g. family breakdown, illness, death of a partner etc. Sure, you might be able to take out insurance, if you are eligible, but very often such policies are worthless - the first thing the c*nts do is go through your medical files looking for any excuse not to pay out, which is why many people, sensibly, don't waste their money on such a dodgy bet.

At the end of the day, while repossessions are a necessary part of life, it ill behoves us as a society that an arrogant shit such as yourself should be so disparaging of a family that you know nothing about at this time of personal tragedy.

Grow up and behave with some common decency.
