Hi Karen
some of the mortgage companies are actually quite understanding.
My brother in law had big probs as he ahd a previous good track record with the same company, they allowed him not to pay his mortgage for 4 months, in this time he managed to get himself sorted he then paid his mortgage for the next 6 months and they added the unpaid 4 months onto the main loan.
as housing states, do not panic or rush into any decision.
will husband hold off BR giving you a chance to get your affairs in order (or is that too wishfull thinking)
speak to people housing has local knowledge and their are people on this forum that it would be worth you calling, even if it is just for peice of mind
good luck Richard |

Hi Karen
I live in Plymouth - If I can assist I will be happy to do so.
I went BR in May - I had an estate agency and letting agency - see my profile and you wil see my surname!
The MRS was geared to assist borrowers and avoid repossessions - I am not convinced it has achieved what the politicians desired...!
As you may be aware Plymouth Housing is about to transfer to a housing association after a ballot last year. The Council will still have a legal duty to offer advice and assistance to those threatened with homelessness. You may be advised to make an appointment at Midland House to see what they can do for you.
I wish you well and post back - I am sure we can assist you through the forum, Richard  (Green Army! - sorry!)

Hi Karen,
Do not start to panic - even if you did lose your home, it will not be for many months in all probability - I say in all probability as I dod not know what stage the position/relationship is with your lender at this moment.
Are there any arrears?
Is it a joint mortgage
Are you both looking at BR?
Is there a secured debt?
At the moment I would advise that you approach your local council housing advice section and they will look at your situation. It is very likely thatas you have small children, they will be able to offer you advice and assistance. DO NOT panic - take things at a day at a time and if you have some more detail, post back and we will, betwwen us, have some suggestions.
Thjoughts are with you and your children - Richard x ( a proud dad and granddad!!)

Unfortunately it looks as though you will lose the house if you can't remortgage but it won;t happen overnight. |

Does your house have any equity in it? If so I would move quickly & start the divorce proceedings asap to get the financial aspect sorted out before ex declares bankrutcy. If it doesn't, your ex may agree to transfer the house over to you. |

Hi karen very difficult to advise given the limited information but in general terms if he goes bankrupt you will be responsable for all your own personal debt as well as any joint debt |
