Man fails to stop bank over arrears

A man who rejects claims he has fallen into arrears on two loans he took out with KBC Bank has failed to secure a High Court injunction preventing the lender from continuing with legal action against him.

The injunction was sought by John Breen, against who the bank has brought proceedings seeking a repossession order of his home.

He claimed in 2012 he sent a cheque for €100 with a note to KBC telling them that if they accepted this amount of money per week the bank was agreeing to a variation or change in the repayment conditions of the loans.
