  • whether borrowers have repaid their arrears, and how
  • what action borrowers took to avoid repossession, including;
  • when borrowers first spoke to their lender
  • whether borrowers sought independent advice
  • the help offered to borrowers in arrears by their lender
  • what borrowers thought about the treatment they received from their lender
  • the implications of the above findings
