I Thought I Was Alone.

The impact from years of permanent financial pressure being trapped paying extortionate high interest rates has had damaging effects on individuals and their families. The patterns of stress, worry, depression and anxiety are all similar.
A great number of mortgage prisoners feel the overriding emotional impact is one of feeling “trapped”, unable to move on in their lives, feeling helpless and insecure about the future. Fear of unexpected expenditure, fear of interest rate rises, fear of letters from the lender and fear for the impact this situation is having on their children’s mental health.

It can feel like financially we can roll through from one month to the next with no break from the stress and anxiety. With such a long period of prolonged pressure causing an impact on our mental health and well being. This in turn makes it increasingly difficult to make decisions and have the ability to take control of your finances.

UK Mortgage Prisoners have found some valuable organisations and links to support for if you are in need of help.
