There is a feeling that they are not getting any help from a financial institution that relies on taxpayers' money to keep them above water, but does nothing to help them remain in their houses.

Hazlett Karen is among those who pay interest of 12. 79 per 11 cents on her Northern Rock loans. In 2006, the 44-year-old barber concluded a Northern Rock mortgage. And Karen has registered for the Together mortgage. They lent a whopping 83,000 pounds - a 67,500 pound mortgage and a 15,500 pound private credit. In the first five years it bore interest of 5. 89 per cents; this later fell to 4. 79 per cents when its initial transaction was over and it switched to the bank's default floating interest rat.

However, after interest rates fell, Karen moved the mortgage portion of her 2012 loans to a low-cost fixed-rate transaction with the Nottingham Building Society. 7979?per cents. It says that it has tried several times to convert the credit to a less expensive transaction with another institution, but it was refused. At present, the best interest on loans on the private credit markets is around 4 per Cent. ?per

As Karen says, "When all is said and done, this piece of Northern Rock is government held and saved by the taxpayer. Together the transaction consisted of a mortgage of 95?per cents of the value of a real estate and a private credit of up to 30?per cents. However, it also implied that these purchasers would remain in deficit capital (thanks to more than they borrowed) until their home prices had gone up by 25?per cents.

During 2006, more than a third of Northern Rock's private mortgage credit was linked to Together loan. with a £27 billion rescue from the BBC. In the following year, the besieged bench was formally taken over by the government. There were two parts to it - so-called "good" and "bad" banking.

Unfortunately, the "Bad Bank" was re-named Northern Rock Asset Management and never found a purchaser, although last year some accounts with credits were bought. The loan will remain in government ownership and will consist of higher-risk mortgage assets, which include Together loan assets. Nevertheless, Richard Banks, CEO of Northern Rock Asset Management, was earning 815,000 in 2013 and was receiving a salary increase of 27?per cents.

Meanwhile, many of the hundred thousand of first-time purchasers and family borrowers of Northern Rock are getting into trouble. Your only way to move home or get another business is to separate your Together mortgage from your consumer credit. You can then take out a regular mortgage with another one.

The 79?per penny, which forces the borrower to distribute additional hundred per months. However, the interest they are paying is tied to the Bank's floating interest default risk - so if the UK Government were to raise key interest next year as anticipated, these borrower would increase their redemptions even further.

Somebody with a £25,000 credit would have to find an additional 127 per month if their interest went up to 12. Seventy-seven per cent. ?per The latest Northern Rock review proposes that 116,691 of Together transactions still exist. Out of these borrower, 4,761 are in default with their mortgage and 10,445 with their private credit.

In 2007, Gary Littledyke, a Senior Vice President Marketing and Sales, closed his Together mortgage following a dividend. Registered after attending a Northern Rock office. Couple month later, the banks went bankrupt. Gary, 51, lent a £207,000 mortgage - 178,000 and a 29,000 pound mortgage - to buy a two bed duplex in Basingstoke, Hants valued at 190,000 pounds.
