    Just reading about Pamela Flood and her husband living mortgage free in a 900 grand home for the past 6 years (9, depending on who you believe).

    This woman seems delusional to me.
    Saying it's not wrong if you don't pay your mortgage.

    Ridiculous.

    She's not delusional, she knows EXACTLY what she is doing, her and her husband are nothing but posh entitled scroungers who are scheming to avoid having to live a working-class lifestyle

    If I was them, I'd have sued a hotel for falling off a swing and payed the mortgage that way.

    Should be out on their ears the smug entitled pair of geebags. I can almost see the smirks on their faces as they think it's all a joke.

    9 years is a joke. And I certainly am no fan of scumbag vulture funds behaviour in the Irish market. This pair of pricks are cynically trying to lump themselves in with those who have genuinely fallen on hard times and not even been given a chance as their defaulted mortgages are sold off quickly.

    They’re just pure chancers. They’ve lived in a house for nearly a decade without paying anything towards it.

    Not only that, but they were then offered a chance to just walk away from it. Leave the house that you haven’t been paying for and it’s all square – the bank won’t pursue for the nine years of mortgage payments you’ve refused to pay.

    That’s not enough though, because now they’re looking to ignore an undertaking they signed to leave the house and instead are opting to stay because they think that they can push this even further.

    Honestly at this stage, I hope the bank do them for criminal trespass.

    we have such a colonial hangover that the sight of the sheriff turfing people out of a house raises the hackles but we must remember that some people need a boot squarely up their hole and to be fooked out of the premises.

    Remember the case of the Roscommon family who lived mortgage free too for years, and also borrowed other money that they didn't repay?

    It was only end last year. There was a whole uprising to protect them from eviction, even though a judge told them to get out.

    They are back living in property iirc.

    Looks like the Ryan/Flood's days in Contarf are numbered due to a court ruling today....
    Judge Linnane's judgment means that Tanager, through the Sheriff, can, should it wish to do so, take immediate possession of the property and put the family on the street.

    It's the 4 kids you'd feel sorry for!

    Yeah, but they filed an appeal to the High Court.
    Scam artists; not paying a bob in 6 years.

    They must have the earning power to cover it.

    What has happened here is they don't like the idea of living in a home with negative equity that now is worth far less than they paid for it.

    So they decided to walk away.

    It's nearly 9-years since they paid

    The the creditor does not have to wait for the high court case before evicting them!

    Yikes, I stand corrected.

    Imagine, accruing all this wealth over 9 years by not paying their mortgage. Then they try to pull the wool over the public's eyes by saying that "someone" told them not to pay.
    I hope that they are evicted tonight.
