Dispatches, this week, featured attempts Halifax to reclaim their debt from a dying man. They settled out of court after harassment. Channel 4 programmes are easily downloadable. The low value debt was secured on the house.
This situation was followed by an insider in Marlin, one of the banking recovery agents. Really nasty people.
One thing is an absolute certainty - there is a lot of pain still to come for those unlucky enough to default.
