The maximum penalty for 'obtaining a money transfer by deception' is 10 years imprisonment. [Theft Act 1968, Section 15A , as amended by the Theft (Amendment) Act 1996, Section 1].
Offences should be reported to your local police station or, probably better, by writing to your county police HQ (marking the envelope "Fao: Officer i/c Fraud Investigation").

It seems fairly unlikely that the new lender would not already know this. If they have carried out credit checks then this existing mortgage and the payment history will already be known to them.
I say shop them - why should the rest of us have to pay to cover bad debt? The banks won't foot the bill it will all be passed on to us in higher charges or reduced savings rates.

hi thanks for your reply - im not being bitchy but the person involved transfered the property into my name 2 yrs ago, after I paid his mortgage off ( i even have a letter from him saying he was selling it me for a certain price) he is now trying to get some more money from me when all this was completed in May o5.
