THE MORTGAGE TRAP: HELP US INVESTIGATE LENDING PRACTICES IN AUSTRALIA

ABC Investigations

Many Australians who borrowed at rock bottom interest rates during COVID are now
facing a steep rise in their repayments.

During the pandemic, as house prices surged, many Australians took out very
large home loans while interest rates were at historic lows.

Now, these people are facing much higher rates.

Mortgage repayments for some borrowers have doubled or tripled, leaving them
drowning in debt.


WHAT WE WANT TO KNOW

We are investigating how we got into this situation, who is to blame and what
needs to change – and we need your help.

We want to know whether improper lending practices have contributed to the
current financial stress that borrowers are experiencing.

We want to examine whether existing policies and regulations provide adequate
protection for consumers, or whether they need to be strengthened.


WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU

We are interested in everyone's perspectives on this issue, including:

 * Borrowers
 * People who work or have worked in lending, mortgage broking or as buyer's
   agents
 * People who work or have worked in the regulatory space
 * Financial counsellors and others providing support to people in financial
   stress

Please share your story by filling out the form at the bottom of this page.

The ABC's Crowdsourcing Collection Statement applies to any information you
provide.

The ABC will not share your personal information with anyone else and will not
identify you without your permission.

If you are sharing sensitive information, please consider contacting us via more
secure methods of communication.
