Hi everyone!My husband and I have finally,finally decided to go BR than carrying on with our DMP.
We wishh to hand back the keys after BR.I am only one month arrears on our mortgage to be able to afford fees for BR.
I havent sorted any rented accomodation as we want to migrate maybe 2nd week of October.will the mortgage company allow us to stay in our house till then?or will they ask us to move out?I havent informed them what I intend to do.please help!our appointment will be next week.
I know reading from here we need to be at least 3 months arrears before repossession takes place.but will the OR allow that?or perhaps the mortgage co if they are informed by OR that I have gone BR?Any informations will be highly appreciated.Im a bit in a panick!Many thanks!

Hi BC73,
I cant see why not it takes a while to get a repossesion order, you have to miss 3 payments, then it will go to court, if you dont agree a repayment plan, then a few weeks later they will go for repossesion.
Good luck
Hope i helped

And the house is a secured debt and as such the OR is not really interested until the repossesion order comes in and the it becomes unsecured then gets added to the BR providing you add it into the SOA.

Hi if you can i would say let that payment come out.
It would look better with regard to 3 payments on a new loan.
I dont really know if they would consider that as preferential maybe John or one of the other members could clear that one up.
Anyhow good luck.
Jo

Hi BC73,

If you don't want to wait the 3 months, you can always perform a voluntary reposession. This is telling your lender you wish to surrender the property ... a little more in depth than just handing the keys back, but in essence the same.
