A British mortgage lender which offers loans to people with poor credit histories has gone into administration. Victoria Mortgages said its funding had been “removed”, becoming one of the first UK victims of the credit squeeze caused by worries over sub-prime loans. Borrowers whose mortgage applications have been approved, but have yet to receive funds, are set to be worst hit.

Subprime and second mortgages were to HSBC like Household International was to predatory lending – an easy ride to profits. Or so they thought. Second mortgages? Sorry, but HSBC has little or no security interest when a home goes to foreclosure.

Still under wraps, our report guarantees to show who was hung out to dry and who protected their own interests. Meanwhile, on to Australia.
