Posted - 10 March 2009 : 12:46:16 Your secured loan is no different to your mortgage and 'outside' of the bankruptcy - that is you have to maintain the payments or risk losing your property. If you make the decison to 'hand back' the property and rent alternative accommodation, cease payments on the mortgage and the secured loan and when completing the forms for the court list the mortgage and secure loan details on tha appropriate page and also list each of them (the mortgage and the secured loan) for £1 on the page where you list your credit cards etc (your unsecured debt information) following bankruptcy the property will be repossessed and any shortfall following sale will be included in the bankruptcy. This enables you to 'walk away' from the potential debt from repossession
