73.

As outlined in previous replies to the Deputy the documents outstanding to enable this case to be reviewed were set out to the client in letters from the Department on 16th May 2014 and 6th August 2014. The most recent letter of 4th September 2014 also outlined the items that remain outstanding as follows:

- Full copy of original loan application in question

- Full copy of loan offer

- Copies of mortgage payment protection plan or plans and details of any payments received under these plans

- Current professional valuation of farm or lands.

This claim remains closed. The client will again be written to this week with a deadline of 21 days for submission of outstanding information to enable a review. If not received within the time frame the matter will be considered closed and not revisited.
