Roscommon eviction

Delighted those northern thugs got battered and delighted KBC are being made look like fools. I don't disagree that a man can't be evicted from his home although they should take other assets first with the home as the very last option. They also shouldn't be kicking anyone out so close to Christmas.

In our small apartment block, a chancer defaulted on 3 apartments. He owed us the management company( thats us the owners) thousands in apartment fees which go solely to the upkeep and future upkeep of the block.  The bank obviously repossessed the apartments. when We went to look for the outstanding fees, do you think the bank didnt default on them, they did. And because We couldnt fight the size of their legal team We had to take a reduced settlement of the fees and were told it was as good as we can expect. So people default on banks, but banks default on people. In 2012-2013 a number of legal cases sprung up which had favourable outcomes for debtors in possession cases, and I believe one of those cases was won without any appearance. This is not America and good legal teams can be assembled cost effectively, and regularly in Ireland very hard fought cases have occurred between borrowers of meagre means, with legal representation and banks.  Also, surely the fight would have been with the defaulter rather than the bank, that was his debt and he owed the management company the money?

I'm sick of the argument of banks doing bad business or lending irresponsibly as some kind of justification for a ***t like this in Roscommon, not paying his mortgage.

I have always felt that from a political point of view a demographic that gets used by activists and politicians is the indebted and the repossessed. There is a range of people who fall into that category, but are generally united by the fact they borrowed beyond their means. I don’t believe the right or the left have much sympathy, but they will play up to the idea that they do. There is also a wing of the anti eviction movement which is compromised by being comprised of people who have a best interest in slowing down the courts and preventing evictions, as their assets are sometimes on the chopping block.
