Help For 'Mortgage Prisoners' Sought By FCA


Thousands of "mortgage prisoners" who are paying high borrowing rates but are unable to switch to better deals should be given more help, the UK's financial regulator has said.

The FCA's comments came in an interim report into the mortgage market. Read more on the BBC website.
