Lender targets high-risk clients

A MORTGAGE broker has defended targeting high-risk clients when their names are listed among those who have hit hard times in the Stubbs Gazette — saying it is nothing other than good business practice.

Yes Mortgages said it will continue to source new customers whose ability to borrow has been damaged by the publication of court judgments against them in the credit rating magazine.

Yesterday, the company’s managing director, David Wylie, said the Gazette was an effective way of reaching its market.
