If people looked into her they might have been more wary handing her over money. Wonder who this barrister was who was recommending her to these people…
You do know she is DJ Carey sister? The one he called guards on in 2011?
and already known to be offering unorthodox and discredited solutions to distressed mortgage holders 10 years ago

Just to add
Since this is where a portion of my bread and butter is
the amount of people that have surfaced in the last 5 years that originally engaged these risky informal solutions
I’m talking the lads at the back of the court room, the ‘trusts’, the hotel roadshows showing how to not pay your debts, the ‘lad that got a great deal for so and so’
the ‘letters’ to the Judge
the gangs in court
would boil your weewee
and Catriona Carey is only small fry
Any distressed mortgage holder that hands fees, plus their personal details, over to anyone not regulated or professionally licenced is enabling criminal corruption.
No Mortgage creditor will put a third party onto a debtor file without – name, d.o.b, pps number, and loads of other ‘security question’ stuff. Plus the debtors full financial profile, and household circumstances.
And it gets left to dopes like me to try and unpick the mess for these families; knowing someone else pocketed huge fees. Some of it in crypto so f’knows what that’s worth today.
People with loan arrears, solvent or not, the can’t pays and the won’t pays, go to back street operators for a reason.
And if the delinquent debt is a PPR mortgage, they don’t need to engage anyone at all, the CCMA/ MARP process is well organised, resourced and observed by banks now, and if not, the Judges will know pretty quick and penalise the bank seeking an order; and will actually work to help the home owner. Judge Jackie Linnane is a particular warrior on finding errors, missteps and breaches on behalf of defendants,
AND IT IS NEVER TOO LATE.
One of these bad advice cases resulted in the order against the householder getting signed, 2016, and an enforcement order, 2018 that was appealed. Came to me just before Christmas.
AIB agreed to a deal, and ‘on consent’ed’ it with Hyland J by the end of January.
Incidentally, Catriona Carey trained with a big firm, and then originally registered her own firm, at this point now its anyone’s guess if her own firm amounted to anything at all. I won’t name where she trained if that’s ok, I’m already running the gauntlet with these firms.
Be great is someone else did, as well as confirming if she actually passed finals.
And do you know what, I’m delighted I made the decision to no longer do pro-bono work, and take myself off the Legal Aid roster.
Thanks Terry. Best decision I ever made.
Can’t wait for RTE to investigate the Banks, Insurance Industry, HSE,REITs and the many other cartels and scammers that operate so profitably here. Then again, might be better stick to investigating eegits scamming other eegits.
