According to Morgunbladid, the plaintiffs believe that the terms of their mortgages are no longer viable.
They are also considering suing the former key executives of the defunct banks as well as their owners and the government.
Furthermore, the group is looking into filing a lawsuit against companies that finance auto loans.
