Health is ‘shagged’ over mortgage arrears

A Clare man said yesterday his partner’s health “is shagged” from the stresses of dealing with their worsening mortgage debt.

The man was speaking after he received a reprieve in Pepper Finance Corporation (Ireland) Ltd’s pursuit of him and his partner over a mortgage debt of €196,957.

The man said yesterday the adjournment of the case “is probably deferring the inevitable” in Pepper repossessing their home.
