🏠 MIS-SOLD MORTGAGES — TIME TO RECLAIM YOUR POWER!

🧠 INTRO: STOP GETTING PLAYED BY YOUR MORTGAGE

Listen — mortgages are huge deals. But too many get trapped in deals that don’t fit, with hidden fees and sneaky terms that can wreck your financial game. If your mortgage feels like a trap, it’s time to fight back and get what’s yours.

The Financial Conduct Authority drops this truth bomb:

“A mortgage must be affordable and suitable. Anything less? That’s on the lender.”

Check this from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme:

“Over 10% of mortgage holders got mis-sold. Many didn’t know the real cost or what interest hikes meant.”
  • Confusing mortgage terms that hide fees.
  • Pressure tactics pushing you into bad deals.
  • Lack of straight talk on fees and rates.

❓ GOT A CLAIM? LET’S CHECK.

If your mortgage deal left you in the dark or broke your budget, you might be owed big time. The lender’s job? Make sure you get it — clear, fair, and affordable.

Here’s your checklist — if you tick any, it’s game on:

  • Mortgage was way out of your budget when you signed.
  • Hidden fees or future costs you never saw coming.
  • No clear explanation about interest rate changes.
  • They pushed you into a bigger mortgage than you needed.
  • They ignored your true financial situation — income, debts, all of it.
  • You got sold “special” products (tracker, interest-only) that weren’t right.

🔥 MAKE YOUR MOVE — FILE THAT CLAIM

STEP 1: Hunt Down Their Complaints Page

Go to your lender’s website and find the Complaints section. This is your launchpad — contact details, instructions, everything you need.

STEP 2: Write Like a Warrior

Be sharp. Tell them how you were misled or kept in the dark. Back it up with proof — letters, documents, anything. This isn’t begging; it’s holding them accountable.

The lender’s got 8 weeks to hit back. No reply or weak excuses? Level up to the Financial Ombudsman Service:

STEP 3: Missing Info? Grab It With a DSAR

Ask for your data with a Data Subject Access Request. They have 1 month to hand it over. Include all your details — name, DOB, past addresses — force them to show their cards.

✔ How this forum works

It’s important you are clear on the purpose and limitations of the site. We’re an information sharing website, aiming to help people who may have been mis-sold financial products. We base our information on over 20 years of experience in financial services and claims sectors, but we can’t guarantee our insights are perfect for everyone. So do note you use the information at your own risk and we can’t accept liability if things go wrong.

  1. This info does not constitute financial advice, always do your own research on top to ensure it’s right for your specific circumstances and remember we focus on rates not service.
  2. We don’t as a general policy investigate the solvency of companies mentioned (how likely they are to go bust), but there is a risk any company can struggle and it’s rarely made public until it’s too late (see the Section 75 guide for protection tips).
  3. We often link to other websites, but we can’t be responsible for their content.
  4. Do note, while we always aim to give you accurate product info at the point of publication, unfortunately price and terms of products and deals can always be changed by the provider afterwards, so double check first.
  5. Always remember anyone can post on the Mis-sold Finance Guy forums, so it can be very different from our opinion.
