Hi tvw
I'm not at all sure what you mean by "people like me". Whether you are bankrupt or not the rules regarding mortgage payment are the same. If you keep paying the mortgage you will stay in the property (unless there is equity which the OR could claim).
If you cannot keep up the mortgage payments then the lender has the power, after 3 missed payments, to commence repossesion proceedings although this is not automatic. If there is a way for you to reduce the arrears over time then the lender would normally work with you on that.
Your main problem is if the property is eventually repossessed, sold at auction and there is a shortfall between sale price and what you owe in mortgage, redemption and any other secured loans. As you had not decided to "lose" the property through affordability in April, if you now cannot pay you may be looking at a large debt again in respect of the shortfall.
