The founder of an organisation helping lay litigants fight repossession orders has lost his own case in the High Court, the Sunday Business Post reports.
The court granted Pepper Finance a repossession order for the Kildare home of Byron Jenkins and Adrienne Jenkins.
Mr Jenkins is the founder of The Hub-Ireland, which he said he was inspired to set up following his own mortgage problems.
The pair had drawn down a €350,000 mortgage from GE Capital Woodchester in July 2008 and built up arrears of €326,749 as of last June.
Their first default occurred in November 2008 and the total sum outstanding is now €599,698.
GE Capital Woodchester was sold to Pepper Finance in September 2012.
The couple represented themselves as lay litigants in the court battle until last July, when they engaged a solicitor and counsel.
