What?
This chapter applies with respect to administering a regulated mortgage contract, administering a home purchase plan1 and administering asale shortfall1.
1The requirements in this chapter1will continue to apply to a firm after a regulated mortgage contract or home purchase plan 1has come to an end following the sale of a repossessed property. References in this chapter to "customer" will include references to a former customer as appropriate.
1The FCA expects a firm to treat a sale shortfall in the same way that it treats a payment shortfall.
1A firm may have entered into a mix of regulated mortgage contracts and non-regulated mortgage contracts with a customer secured on the same property. In such circumstances, if the regulated mortgage contract is in arrears, notwithstanding that the overall position in respect of the mortgages generally is not in arrears, the firm will need to comply with all the requirements of MCOB 13 in respect to the regulated mortgage contract. Where this involves providing the customer with information, a firm should explain, if it is the case, that whilst the overall position on the mortgages is not in arrears, no action will be taken in respect of the regulated mortgage contract.
