Extend mortgage and car finance holidays for more than 6 months!

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Help us all!!! We are all not in a position to suddenly be able to pay our mortgage or car finance as we have to be locked up and cannot work!!!! How do you expect us to keep going with no financial help!!!!
Why???? We do not want to lose our home or be in constant arrears leading to our homes being lost through no fault of our own!!!! We cannot live day and night not eating or sleeping and living with constant daily stress which are leading to many having suicidal thoughts. Roll out more help we want to be at work and yet are being forced to stay inside!!!!

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

You may wish to sign this petition calling for a similar action: Seek to extend Mortgage Payment Holidays up to 9 months due to second lockdown

The car payment holiday scheme for car finance was developed by the Financial Conduct Authority, which is an independent regulator, and we can't accept petitions calling for actions that are an operational matter for the FCA.
