Stop Mortgage Companies flagging up Self-Employed grants as a "red flag"
This week it was published that Self-Employed people who took any Government grant for help during lock down would be classed as a red flag with Mortgage Companies.
Self-Employed have suffered enough during this lockdown. The Government must stop this nonsense!!
We want the Government to take into account the decline of peoples income and STOP Mortgage Companies from blocking mortgages or using a government grant (which will have tax paid on it) as a red flag!
Grants or lack of income should NOT be used as a weapon against people who were forced to close their businesses.
Mortgage Companies should not be allowed to discriminate between furloughed workers and self-Employed workers!
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.
Decisions about lending, including for mortgages, are a matter for individual lenders, not the Government or House of Commons. As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.
