What happens to the house after my husband files for bankruptcy? The mortgage payments are all up to date, so would we still pay them each month? ive read that because we have children we can stay in it for a year, is this true?

beth,

I am sure there is a way forward from what you have described so far.

It may be worth speaking or emailing one of the insolvency experts that you will find on the left hand of the page.

From there, you can look towards a plan fro recovery.

Come back as necessary, Richard

if the property is jointly owned then once your husband declares BR his half share of any equity in the house (his BI) will become the ORs
if you can afford it you should be able to buy the BI back from the OR

Hi, Thanks, the secured loan is 15000, and the house is worth approx 110000, which we currently pay 80000 mortgage on, so do have some equity but no where near enough to pay my husbands debts. We decided it should be just him going BR because apart from secured loan and mortgage the debts are in his name, but i do not have any spare money to buy out his share of anything. There are not any charges or arrears with the two jointly owned debts. Its the mortgage and what happens to the house that we have struggled to get information on.

Thanks, Beth

hi,

Welcome to the forum

Depending on the equity and whether there are any second charges, arrears or any other factors, you could keep the property - post a bit of information and one of the posters will come back to you.

e.g. What is the property worth? Is there any equity? Is it jointly owned? if so, are you bot going BR? Are there any arrears? Is there a second charge?

Just a pen picture and we can look at options for you, Regards, Richard

What is the value of the property, the amount of the mortgage and the amount of the secured loan
