I had a mortgage on an investment property approx 11 years ago, I lost my job and couldnt keep up the payments, so it was repossessed, I paid back around £3,000 but could not afford to pay back anymore. about eight months ago, i received a letter asking for £55,000, I own a small company that is less than 12 months old, I earn on average £900 per month, I live in rented accomodation. I employed a local solicior to deal with the problem who was meant to attend court, HE DIDN'T. I got a letter today from the court wanting £67,000. what do i do?

Hi Robc
and welcome to the forum

The choices available are :-

1. Come to a payment arrangement with the creditor, however on £900 per month you are unlikely to have much if any disposable income.

2. If you have the availability of a lump sum ( from friends / family etc ) you may be able to negotiate a much reduced settlement

3. Investigate formal debt solutions such as bankruptcy or an IVA. ( having said that the IVA route requires disposable income and you are not there yet)

Strongly suggest you speak with an expert to review the options more carefully .
