RTÉ NewsState / PublicCenteryesterday

Former Ireland rugby star Shane Horgan is facing a repossession lawsuit from Pepper Finance Corporation over unpaid mortgage arrears totaling €8,889 on his €675,000 Dublin home. The bank claims Horgan failed to appear in court for the possession proceedings, which were served via registered post but returned 'not called for.' The case was adjourned for three months to allow for proper service, as Horgan did not appear in person or through legal representation. The loan, originally issued by Irish Life and Permanent TSB in 2006, is now under Pepper Finance's management. The bank alleges that Horgan defaulted on payments and that the total debt owed is €684,664.

Former Ireland rugby player Shane Horgan is facing a repossession lawsuit from Pepper Finance (Ireland) over his €675,000 property in Dublin. The bank claims Horgan has fallen behind on mortgage payments, resulting in accumulated arrears totaling €684,664. Legal representatives for Pepper Finance informed the court that attempts to serve Horgan with the possession proceedings via registered post were unsuccessful, as the letter was returned 'not called for' by An Post. The court adjourned the case to allow further attempts at serving Horgan, as he was not present in court and had no legal representation. The bank asserts that Horgan's failure to deliver possession of the property after being notified constitutes a breach of the mortgage agreement.
