Lender trying to reposess due to arrears no equity in house going bankrupt any way i can keep house?
Mental and physical collapse after separation from my partner got behind with mortgage. did an iva. Situation now, in arrears with mortgage. No equity in property. I really want to keep house for partner to one day come back to. Seems Bankruptcy only option.
Doctor has said I am not at the moment mentally capable of dealing with anything so court official will be appointed. (No relatives or anyone else) After a year off work, now claiming benefits but dont think will be enough to cover mortgage interest.
Lender will not consider any options. anyone know of any way I can keep the house, at least in the short term?

Speak to your IVA adviser again. Maybe you can amend your IVA. In the long run I think you should admit defeat and go for bankruptcy. I did it and the relieve of all that stress was great.
Hello
Sorry to hear of your problems. Check with DWP you should qualify for interest payments on mortgage – that might pacify the Lender for a short time.

Really hope you sort something out
check out other mortgage lenders, don’t be afraid to ask for a better loan…..and do ask for a 30 year fixed. do not get sucked into a two year apr or interest only loan as you are paying more interest on the first 10 years of any loan anyway. also, if you have a room that you could rent out for awhile, even if it means giving up part of your privacy,do so. check in the local paper and see what the average rent goes for in your area. renting can help provide the income to help get you out of your problem. just make sure to do research first……..then forget about the ex……and get on with your life…..don’t look back. you will be better off for it.
Hi,
I’m sorry to hear of your troubles. There are two personal finance websites I visit which have excellent sections on dealing with debt. You can look for similar threads or post this query there and people will help you. I think you’ll get much better help on these specialised sites than on Yahoo Answers
Hi
Get your self down to the citizens Advice Bureau, or Welfare Rights office.
They will provide you with free advice and no doubt they have dealt with many similar cases.
Good luck
If I’m right if you took the mortgage out before 1997, DWP will pay interest for you, if after that, your in shit. Go back to IVA and citizens advice.
The FSA is the government watchdog for mortgages. I’ve put a link below to their leaflet explaining what you can do. The leaflet also has contact details of lots of people who can help you.
