    UK banks have agreed to grant a six-month moratorium to home owners fearing repossession. The UK government, it seems, is anxious and serious to get the economy back on track after the fall out for credit crunch. Who can blame them – general election is only over a year away.

    Thanks for the comment…
    It is great that the Government have finally acted, so that it is possible for mortgage lenders to stop the aggressive repossession process, allowing struggling homeowners a little more leeway.
