CML: Mortgage arrears and possessions conference

CML: Mortgage arrears and possessions conference at The Midland Hotel, Peter Street, Manchester, M60 2DS

A rise in base rate looks less likely than a year ago and headline arrears numbers have continued to fall. But higher costs of living have put the squeeze on borrowers, longer term arrears continue to harden and the economic outlook looks increasingly uncertain. With firms under ever-intensive pressure to treat customers fairly whilst mitigating loss risks, this conference looks at, among other things, the arrears landscape, forbearance and emerging issues for managing properties in possession. We will also be exploring how firms can best assist borrowers susceptible to payment difficulty and those in the deepest arrears.

This conference is essential for collections, credit risk and recoveries staff within lenders as well as solicitors and asset managers to stay abreast of industry challenges.

This conference will be chaired by Jackie Bennett OBE, head of policy, Council of Mortgage Lenders.
