‘Stick together’ say couple who lose home

A COURAGEOUS couple with five children whose home was repossessed yesterday warned debt-ridden families facing the loss of their home to “stick together.”

The Cavan parents gave up the fight for their family bungalow home and admitted afterwards that lender Start Mortgages should never have given them a mortgage in the first place.

The family was willing to give up the home near the town of Ballyjamesduff to the lender within six months as the couple didn’t “see any other option”, the High Court heard.
