I have created an 'e-petition' with the intent that the growing number of families and children who are being evicted from their homes is considered by the Department of Business Innovation and Skills in the UK.

They are responsible to consider and protect the interests of any consumers rights when they buy or use services - we are led to believe that such protection extends to Home-Owners who have used the services of banks and sub-prime lenders to secure loans against their homes.

There is a 'live' debate to do with the Law pertaining to Deeds and Registered land here on the CaG:

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?391318-Repossession-questioned-by-deeds-not-being-signed/page175

The debate considers the Lenders right to say that he is right to leave the deed un-executed by him to say he is wholly correct in bringing about an eviction off the back of it... and argument against this practice in favor of the consumers right and the lawful protections against such reliance.

We want the Government to ensure that they protect families and their children from that which we have come to find is tantamount to un-lawful eviction of families from their homes.

The voluntary sectors such as Shelter - Barnardo's and many others provide support for families with children and their work is highly commendable - How ever these charities along with the families concerned deserve more support... one way in which this can be done is by 'petition'

We need 100,000 signatures before the government of the UK will even consider whether the increasing number of families being evicted from their homes is lawful.

We need your help and the help of your friends, family and associates to sign this e-petition so that we can ensure that the issue gets to the attention of the Department of Business innovation and Skills.

It is public interest that causes change....100,000 signature's will be just the first step necessary to make a difference - There is no cost to you and your personal identity will be protected - please sign the e-petition today by following the link below:

Hi noisyplanet

Thank you for your support.... it is much appreciated.

May I also inform one and all that the Rt Hon. Vince Cable was appointed Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills in May 2010......

That's the same department that the e-petition is going to by the way....... ; )

If you live in Twickenham you can alert him to issues via this email link:

For those that do not live in Twickenham; you can still contact your local MP by searching for him via this link:

The next step of course is to make sure that each and every single MP is made aware of the e-petition- with a request that they do their part to assist their local constituents stay in their homes.
