Tens of thousands of borrowers had their loans sold on to providers at which they were unable to switch

The MoneySavingExpert founder was speaking at the launch of a report, which he funded, into the plight of “mortgage prisoners”: a group of borrowers caught up in the fallout from the 2007-08 financial crisis.
