SEVERAL BARBADIANS have lost their homes after defaulting on their mortgages in the last seven years.

Speaking about customers being behind on mortgage payments, Noel said: “We have sold very few of those homes, and of those sold in the past year, the majority [were] done with the customers’ consent.”
