As Pepper and ICS raise their rates, thousands of homeowners will see significant increases in their mortgage payments.

Massive interest rate increases have been imposed on thousands of homeowners whose mortgages were sold to vulture investors.

And starting at the beginning of the following month, ICS Mortgages will increase all of its new fixed rates by 0.5 percent across all loan-to-value ranges.

With a 90 percent loan-to-value ratio, its fixed five-year rate will be 4.19 percent.

This follows an earlier declaration that Dilosk-owned ICS will increase its variable rates for residential customers by 1.25 percentage points beginning October 1.

For the first time, ICS Mortgages announced in August that it would cap the size of new mortgages at two and a half times income.

Few candidates would meet the requirements for loan approval, according to broker Michael Dowling, because of the limits.
The bank-sold 60,000 mortgages that Pepper oversees have seen variable rates increase by 1.25 percent.

For one borrower who talked to the Irish Independent, this resulted in a €140 monthly payment increase.

After the European Central Bank (ECB) twice raised its benchmark lending rates in the previous three months, Pepper stated it was responding.

Homeowners whose mortgages are handled by Pepper and other loan servicers are unable to adjust their rates, and many are unable to move to other lenders for a number of other reasons.

The homeowners who are stuck in this situation now worry about a wave of anticipated interest rate increases in Europe.

Several of the performing loans among the several mortgages that Pepper is servicing were sold by Permanent TSB.

Numerous performing and non-performing mortgages have been sold to funds during the past few years. Companies like Pepper, Start, Lapithus, Cabot, Link Group, and Mars Capital provide services to them.

Various investment funds frequently hold these mortgages as their own. For instance, Goldman Sachs is the actual owner of some of the mortgages Pepper services.
