Tracker Mortgage Scandal: Up to 30,000 customers could be affected

The tracker mortgage scandal will, “without a shadow of a doubt”, affect more than 30,000 customers before the authorities get to grips with the matter, far higher than the 15,000 currently estimated by the Central Bank.

That is according to the mortgage adviser who first revealed the scandal, Padraic Kissane, who appeared before the Oireachtas Finance Committee with affected customers of Permanent TSB and Ulster Bank waiving their anonymity to tell their stories.

Thomas Ryan suffered a stroke because of the stress Permanent TSB put him under.
