HC Deb 08 January 2004 vol 416 c426W
Mr. Pickthall

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what representations he has received from householders who hold shared appreciation mortgages; and what plans he has to assist them. [145408]

Ruth Kelly

I have received a number of representations. I cannot intervene in individual cases nor can I direct firms to take action. But if individuals believe they have been mis-sold a product, they may have recourse to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
