It's good to hear from you Mish, how are things with you?

Paul, things will get better although it may not seem like it at the moment x

Only when the last tree has died, the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realise that we cannot eat money.

32 IPA payments made, 4 to go - the end is in sight!

Hi

if your property is in negative equity you are perfectly ok to keep it on 2 conditions.
First is that you can keep up the mortgage repayments. Second is that you or a 3rd party have sufficient funds to purchase your beneficial interest in the property.

I believe from your posts on the main forum the mortgage and property is in your sole name.
The BI, which for the moment belongs to the OR, will cost whosoever buys it £1 plus legal fees.
If you are a sole owner the legal fees will cost a 3rd party approx £500.

If you personally buy the BI the above costs will be the same but you, not if a 3rd party makes the purchase, will be required to pay what is known as an Ad Valorem fee which is 1% of the property value.
Therefore a 3rd party purchase is much cheaper.

Once you are discharged you can arrange through a solicitor to have the BI transferred back to you.
The 3rd party therefore needs to be someone you trust implicitely as once they own the BI you cannot force a later transfer. If this were the case then although you continue to be liable for the mortgage repayments any equity accrued in years to come would belong to the 3rd party.
Effectively therefore you would be renting the property.

Hello I was wondering I am considering bankruptcy and also have a flat in negative equity, what do you mean when you say you "would like to buy back teh BI back from OR" how much does that cost and what is it?can you continue living in your home?

also as for printing in the paper, do they just put a few lines in the back of the paper about you normally or is it more?
many thanks :)

From considering BR to doing it 3 months.

Went BR on 13th October 2008 at Birmingham Court.

OR interview 29th October 2008 - lasted approx 1 hr (+ 1 hr for hubby).

2 adults, 1 child.

I kept my car (I valued it at £2,700 - OR said if agent thought it was worth that I could keep it - had my letter yesterday to say I can - chuffed!).

Husbands car went, which we expected, £2,000 received back from OR to purchase another one.

As house in neg equity we would like to buy the BI back from OR - trying to get an Estate Agent valuation at mo.

We will have a NT IPA, however, we are just about to inform OR about reduction in mortgage payment by a substantial amount so we will probably have to pay one.

Hi Maizie, thank you so much for your reply. That is good to know that they are all nice, I won't dread it so much now. Did your name go in the Portsmouth or Southampton News?
maizie Posted - 17 November 2008 : 09:22:22
Hi veryworried

Yes they are all really nice and it was over very quickly. I didn't see the judge, nobody did that day, I don't know whether thats the norm though!

My OR in Southampton was lovely, very calming, very understanding and didn't make me feel like I had done anything wrong.

Good luck! x
