Prohibited rising interest rates for Mortgages or support with a relief scheme

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

With the rising cost of living, it is unjust for mortgage companies to continuously increase interest rates and the government not support households. Monthly mortgages are becoming unmanageable which will greatly affect the economy.
Support Households with a relief scheme or enforce a cap on rates.
