      Ah, it works now. Previously it was just a blank space where the text should be.

      Now, what is it about...

        I wonder, if an individual had borrowed from this company, whether they would still have to pay it (or some of it) back when the company goes bust?

          They may find that they are liable for the full debt, payable immediately.

              They would have had to pay mortgage indemnity, meaning the mortgage company can cash in the policy while the morgagee is chased by the insurance company for the money.
              The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

              But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                might be another straw onto the camel... thought the BoE set rates

                Abbey expects its rivals to follow suit
                Abbey has become the first UK High Street bank to raise its mortgage rates as a direct result of the continuing turmoil in the financial markets.

                The lender has increased the interest rates of its tracker mortgages for new customers by between 0.1% and 0.2%.

                Abbey said it was responding to the current "market pressure", adding it expected its rivals to follow suit.

                A global credit shortage has made it more costly for banks to borrow funds, making higher mortgage rates likely.

                "These changes reflect moves in the market that have been experienced," said Abbey's head of mortgages Nici Audhlam-Gardiner.

                "We expect that these current trends will be sustained over a significant period and that other companies will follow immediately."

                  The BoE sets the base rate. Individual banks then set theirs according to the base. Hence different rates at different banks on similar or same products.

                  Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time
