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

Yep if it was secured prior to the bankruptcy then it will remain secured until the property is sold, that is what you agreed to when you gave the property as security

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.

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.
