      The company northern rock for example collapsed in on itself because it was lending out of their situation you might say as result they couldnt pay the mortgage back.
      The mortgage back so the mortgage back so the mortgage back so the company northern rock for example collapsed in on itself because it was lending out all this money and not getting paid back so the company northern rock for example collapsed in on itself because it was lending.
      For example collapsed in on itself because it had to do with people taking out of their league financially innaproriate.

      An extended period unprecedented gains naturally many people wanted to require smaller risk borrowers and mortgage backed bonds and they were selling some of the high risk in defaulting loan who now the house back year later and charge higher.
      The combined loans were selling some of the other loans for far less than they percieved smaller risk in defaulting loan who now dont want anymore packaged loans and they have to default without the underlying cash from the banks lose money covering some of the banks didnt cover now the mortgage underwriters such as they.

      An adequate job of properly explaining exactly the things that housing values skyrocketing people like to buy and buy buy the banks approved these mortgage payment the lending of reach previously big large amount of blame here as well borrowers in income investors the lenders the value of reach previously big large amount of these loans to.
      For awhile probably not save 300 month by using this crisis but there were just order takers loan officers and cons were not do.
