Two family homes among a total of 7 repossessions
In one case subprime lender Start mortgages had obtained the services of a private investigator in an attempt to trace a British national who was in arrears of over €16,000 with a total of €115,000 owed.
Presiding Justice Brian Govern heard that no payment had been made on the related mortgage since March 2009 but the investigator had failed to trace the man, a construction worker in his 50s, who was believed to have left the state and had abandoned the property.
