RTE Investigates have some great programmes. Tonights looks great!
Apologies, I didn't realise it was your brother, but yes absolutely, it s all about engaging and when at all possible maintaining a payment, even if was interest only. My own mortgage was sold to a Vulture fund along with 12k by PTSB I had challenges (medical) reduced earnings but tiny arrears and small mortgage remaining. I never got to a repossession situation. Cleared arrears gradually and restructured , so I have a little understanding on your brothers experience 😏
I was there to support my brother but yeh I get what your saying. The one thing the registrar kept an emphasis on that day was engagement.
I'm sorry you went through that and hope you came out the other side. Its precisely experiences like yours and many more that I believe there was a repossession case pending or in progress, your correct , they can take years but equally much quicker depending on circumstances, particularly if there is no effort by the homeowners to engage .
I read recently for example a local circut Court had 134 repossession cases listed , this is a Midlands Town. All adjourned and many already adjourned multiple times.
Without knowing the victims stories (apart from getting duped) it's difficult to really reach an objective opinion and I just felt the main program did not adequately cover what led to this victims being duped.
I'm wouldn't think there was a repossession pending at all. Why would they still be in their homes 3 years later? I'd say they were going though the process perhaps in the courts.
As we all know though if someone is trying their best to pay what they can afford based on their financial means then repossession is impossible in this country. Especially with engagement. I was in the repossession court about 5 years ago, Out of 75 cases not one order was granted. And there were people who were in 50k arrears and only paying 200 quid a month to service a mortgage of 1200.
There is something about the victims that just doesn't sit right with me. I can't put my finger on it though.
It really is quite baffling to be honest, she is also not listed on the mortgage according to the report.
To my mind the only story I'm believing without any doubts is the lady from Cork (I think) , she borrowed the 5K .
Not a single person interviewed was actually asked about their mortgage situation, what led to them being duped, was their a repossession pending ( I suspect there was) , had they maintained mortgage payments, even interest only.
I don't ask these questions to be critical of the victims but it certainly would have been more objective had RTE given more insight into the victims situation rather than allow people assume their backs were up against the wall .
This is it. The whole thing stinks to high heaven. They bought into the BS of the land league freeman nonsense I think. A lot of them did. Their mortgage was so distressed that the Credit Union handed them 10k. Yeh pull the other one love. RTE should have asked to see mortgage statements to ensure everything tallied.
@Gusser09 i know yer woman on prime time last night who got a loan from the credit union is still in the house as she said something about her partner “working hard to keep this roof over our heads” and looking up to the ceiling of the house they were filming in. If the banks have never repossessed, what the hell were they at handing money over to Carey?
@dempo you forgot to check this!
I use my phone and not a laptop/pc so I can’t do it. I have no idea which company that she’s connected to might have been claiming this covid payment though.
Anyone else want to search it?
That BMW wouldn't last a second if it were me that was shafted like this. Amazing how she is getting away with it. Amazing how more of the "victims" haven't even confronted her. Imagine handing over 30k and receiving BS holding text messages for 24 months and not driving down to Kilkenny looking for answers. Mad stuff all round. Before I have to much sympathy for the "victims" I'd like to know how distressed their actual loans were. Were any homes actually repossessed and were any of them even in court about it. I get the feeling a lot of them were looking for cheap way out of their financial commitments and believed all of the Jerry Beades land league bullshit doing the rounds at the time. They though they could pull the wool over the banks eyes.
Carey's shenanigans are obviously illegal. It's theft.
The victims though were not and are not vulnerable. The are stupid. That's harsh but it's true.
It wouldn't have done much good. He would just owe €35k less when the bank repossessed and sold his property. He obviously owed a lot more that €35K, was in negative equity and in arrears.
That’s the registered address for Watershed International Securities Ltd
Catriona Carey- Job Title - Legal
Alan McGuiness - Finance & Accounting
Margaret P McGuiness - Legal
Ciara Ruschitzko - Legal
Neil Armstrong - Finance & Accounting
https://ie.globaldatabase.com/company/watershed-international-securities-limited
I’ve found out nothing about the McGuinness’ or Armstrong
When will they investigate themselves?
Made Simple offer a virtual registered address service. I doubt Catriona ever stepped foot inside the doors of that building.
Edit: just read your next post 😂
I'm not in the least surprised that she was able to do this without either accounts or audiors becoming alarmed.didnt we have a situation not all that long ago where one of the leading auditing firms in the country missed/ turned a blind eye/ ignored whatever a situation where one bank transferred 9 billion! To another bank in December and then received back the 9 billion in January! Did the auditors go to the wall? Like hell, they changed their name from Ernst & Young to EY !
best. boards thread. EVER. 👏🏻
I tip my hat to all contributors! Very entertaining to read all the super sleuths, well done and keep it up cus yez are doing fantastic
From what i can see she is no master criminal, and is clearly mentally unhinged, she's literally stealing and spending and all in public and this behavior has been going even when she worked for the family ? the chick is batshit
Mighty research going on on this thread. I was compelled to join in myself so I went looking for potential offices for Carey on Wentlock Road in London and came to this exact spot https://goo.gl/maps/oVKBbfAhPiNe2xP6A and Made Simple Group just happens to be a UK Companies Registration and Formation company. So what's the betting that she just happens to be also using their services as a shelf company address and mailbox in the UK, rather than having any actual physical presence there? Obviously no crime in that persae but just another layer of the deception....
She has a brother jack... could be another jack carey
a farrier by trade last time i saw him
Involved until 2019! I thought they fell out long before that.
And it gets better - have a look:

From checkmypostcode website:
"N1 7GU is a large user postcode in Hackney. It was first introduced in September 2014.
'Large User' postcodes are allocated to organisations which receive large amounts of post. Unlike standard geographic postcodes, which cover up to 80 addresses, a large user postcode is unique to a single address.
To the best of our knowledge, the current address of this postcode is:
Made Simple Group, 20-22 Wenlock Road, London N1 7GU"
Lol , sorry , I'm on the Live line thread also 🤣
Wrong thread cawler
Not if she's an employee of an English company but again, we just don't know, I'm not entirely sure this notion, Revenue will be getting involved in this, stacks up.
From what I've seen on this Debacle (Take other companies out of the loop) she's ran this entire scam through a UK registered company. HMRC will only have one concern, Tax/Vat liable to the UK government based on turnover, income , not a person in Ireland being scammed.
How do you know that she hasn't just totalled all these drawings at the end of the year and filed it in her tax return and paid the tax?!
