In relation to MCOB 13.3.2 E(1)(c), the FSA takes the view that the determination of a reasonable repayment period will depend upon the individual circumstances. In appropriate cases this will mean that repayments are arranged over the remaining term of the regulated mortgage contract.
The FSA will expect a firm to ensure that charges made to a customer arising from the sale of a repossessed property and charges arising in relation to a mortgage shortfall debt are not excessive and are subject to the same considerations as apply with respect to arrears charges under this chapter.
