Single mum Lizzie Devine a 37-year-old was left by her 13-year-old son who considered getting a job to help his mother out with rising mortgage costs.
Lizzie Devine took a mortgage with her ex-partner in 2007 with Northern Rock. Northern rock collapsed the same year as its nationalization in 2008. She tried to re-mortgage but at that period she was pregnant and was deemed a risk, so, it wasn’t allowed.
