how do the mortgage companies feel about underpayments in the lead up to br, for the sake of getting the money together for court costs/deposits for a rented property etc.. im guessing that surely they will take what ever i offer, obviously they wont be happy about it but surely its better tha.n just not paying

Hi jwmc77,
That is entirely at the mortgage companies discretion. If you intend to keep the property, you'll need to give them a payment plan to bring the arrears up to date as quickly as possible to avoid reposession action.

no, i cant really see any way of keeping the house.....ive already come to terms with that, and i dont owe any arrears as yet...what im asking is, if we decide on br and i phoned the mortgage company and told them about the planned br and that ill be making reduced payments untill then (say half) would there be anything that they could do?? i alraedy have a ccj so im not worried about that.

Hi if I were having to let the house go anyway and thinking of declaring bankruptcy then I would stop paying the mortgage altogether.

Hi MAC
Can i just add that there was a big waiting list at my local court, so please make sure that you think about this when booking your appointment - i have heard that some courts allow you to just turn up, but your best to check with your local court.
Also, if your going to give the house up anyway then could you not stop paying the mortgage to save up for BR fees and deposit etc. for your rental property?
Are you planning on looking for rental property before BR, as im sure some of the regulars have done this.
Anyway, good luck whatever you decide

Hi MAC,
Because you've got a few threads going with similar questions, you'll find people giving you the same info lots of times. Maybe keep your questions on one thread to make it simpler for everyone to understand?
