Homeowners Behind on Mortgage Payments

The request was refused by Stoke on Trent City Council.

Dear Stoke on Trent City Council,

I hope you are well,

I am looking for data on homeowners that are behind on their mortgage repayments.

They have a court hearing and have fallen into arrears.
We buy houses quickly so we want to offer the venders a solution to this as well as our services.

I know the court hearings are public data and it can be requested, so could you please supply us with this data?

We look forward to hearing from you
Regards

Yours faithfully,

Sarah Horrod
