‘They hound us... They want €1,300 a month’

A YOUNG family who face having their home repossessed said their circumstances are so difficult they had to tell their young son they could not afford any toys for Christmas.

The plight of Jason and Karen Moody, who live in Ballyjamesduff in Co Cavan, made the airwaves yesterday as they recounted their situation to TV3.

The couple, who have three young children, said they were being “hounded” by their mortgage company which is demanding mortgage repayments totalling €1,700 a month, including unpaid arrears, on the Moodys’ four- bedroom house.
