Journalist Caroline Hunter’s comments seem consistent with well-researched factual evidence although she forgot to include Danske Bank, Landsbanki and a few others.
In any event, good to see that prominent journalists got involved in the matter as they are always keen to revisit a story they wrote about previously.
CAG’s (Costa Action Group) imput very valuable indeed.
I was so pleased to read Caroline’s letter to erva, sometimes as victims we do feel out on a limb. We will look forward to Caroline’s expose in the near future. Perhaps she will also mention the many banks mainly Danish that have brought so much unhappiness to British pensioners in the south of Spain. Without the banks peddling their unlicenced tax evading equity release schemes via Luxembourg the IFA’s would not have had this product. I am sure that if Caroline has been monitoring the erva web site she will already be aware of these facts. At least one thing is for sure she is probably not the only journalist who is monitoring this site. Thanks to the Equity Release Victims Association we as victims have a little more hope. As we know these products could never possibly have worked and of course should never have been sold to pensioners, who had no knowledge of the high risk products they were signing up to as little if anything was explained to them. Many of which have lost there homes and their lives as a result.
