Trapped by my Mortgage - BBC Panorama
UK Mortgage Prisoners was formed from a Facebook group in 2018 at the time with very few members. Rachel Neale, the now lead campaigner was asked to work with BBC’s Panorama in the production of ‘Trapped By My Mortgage’ which aired on 22nd October 2018. This programme was instrumental in bringing together many of the UK Mortgage Prisoners. For many, the previous 10 years had been spent isolated, and unaware of the sheer scale of the problem. Cat McShane and her crew sought out those affected, and blew the lid off of the sorry tale. What they discovered was a body of people who were suffering, very often alone or isolated, with no idea as to how they could move forward.
