People whose finances were ruined by the covid scam are losing their homes in court eviction hearings that are lasting as little as nine minutes. More often than not, the homeowner has no legal representation.
According to the Mail Online:
Dozens of homeowners have already lost their homes, a joint probe by Money Mail and The Bureau Of Investigative Journalism found.
Some were slapped with court orders warning they were one missed payment away from eviction, while one was pursued for just a few hundred pounds of arrears.
As families face a cost-of-living crisis, with interest rates expected to rise and energy bills soaring, experts warn many more could end up homeless this winter.
At the start of the Covid crisis, the Government insisted ‘nobody should lose their home as a result of the pandemic’.
Nearly three million mortgage payment holidays were granted to mortgage customers and repossessions were banned between March 2020 and April 2021. The ban on bailiff-led evictions was extended until the end of May in England and the end of June in Wales, except in urgent cases.
But now repossession claims by banks have surged by 50 per cent, rising from 750 in May to 1,160 in June, according to data from the Ministry of Justice. A claim means that a lender has applied for a possession order and started the legal proceedings to evict a homeowner.
It means repossessions are already back to 58 per cent of levels seen before the pandemic — despite courts still operating at reduced capacity owing to Covid.
Richard Harrison, a senior adviser for Homeowner Management Services, says: ‘A lot of the people are homeowners who were in financial difficulty before the pandemic.
But over the next six to 12 months we expect to see those whose circumstances changed overnight during lockdown filter through the courts. This is the tip of the iceberg.’
Reporters sat in on 115 mortgage cases at 30 courts across England and Wales over two months and found ‘Covid’ was mentioned in one in three hearings.
Among the homeowners was a taxi driver who had seen his work disappear during the pandemic. In one eight-hour shift he earned just £17.
Another was a business owner who said they had ‘never been in such a difficult position’. One mother openly wept after a judge ruled the bank could take her home after her work dried up owing to Covid.
Labour’s Lucy Powell, the Shadow Hosing Secretary told The Mail:
“The safety net for homeowners was withdrawn, and we’re starting to see the result. Combined with thousands of renters already facing eviction, the UK is facing a homelessness crisis this winter.”
Cui bono? Remember that? It’s a very important principle of crime solving. It means who benefits?
The pandemic hoax is a crime. It has destroyed/is destroying the lives of millions of people. Maybe it’s hundreds of millions, maybe billions. I can’t put a figure on it.
It has destroyed countless businesses, devastated livelihoods, ruined relationships, caused a mental health epidemic, especially in children.
It is forcing people out of their homes. It is unimaginably evil.
Who benefits? Take your pick.
