As part of the programme for Government there was the recent introduction of a local authority loan scheme for housing. One of the qualifying criteria for an applicant is that there must have been two refusals from banks. I come across people who have been verbally refused but the banks do not want to give a letter to that effect. That means these people cannot apply for the scheme. Were the banks asked to provide those types of letters in advance of introducing the scheme? If not, how will this be addressed?
