Posted - 15 February 2012 : 15:08:24 Hi, I was declared bankrupt in 2008. At the time my house was valued at 160,000 - I had a mortgage of approx 162,000 and so I kept the house. However, I had a second charge and that lender is looking to repossess...Im obviously worried sick as I thought that because when I went through the bankruptcy that the second charge was unsecured at that time and so now could not be pursued.. any advice |

Posted - 15 February 2012 : 16:28:44 As far as I am aware, if you have kept your house then it will still be secured and they can try and repossess if you haven't kept up with the repayments.
As I said though, I do stand to be corrected.

Posted - 15 February 2012 : 15:45:55 I dont know how it can be still secured as at the time of my bankruptcy (which I was hoping was crucial) there was no equity.
Ive never made payments as it was only to secure a business loan ( the business when bust in 2008 and it is RBS trying now to get the monies in ) .....
Feels unjust that I got through the bankruptcy - kept my house and now they can come along and nip in - so to speak
I dont think they will succeed as not only is the house still in negative equity ....its got a subsidence claim going through !
any more advice welcome

Hi,
If the house wasn't repossessed then the secured loan, as far as I am aware, was still secured on the house. Did you carry on paying the mortgage and secured loan?
It only becomes unsecured if you give up the house or it is repossessed.
I do stand to be corrected though.
