Can anyone help, I have a Northern Rock mortgage, approx 121k o/s 92k secured, 29k unsecured. Can we include the unsecured part in our bankruptcy, and on forms do we declare the out standing ammonut as 121k or 92k?
Hope this makes sense, it will also affect wether or not we are in negative equity

Hi there

The unsecured element of your NR mortgage is no different to any other unsecured debt ie credit card, overdraft etc and as such must be included on your list of unsecured debt. As soon as you have declared for bankruptcy you only pay the actual secured payment as your 'mortgage payment' at the moment when you pay your mortgage you pay the mortgage element and unsecured loan element in one amout have a look on the back of your last mortgage statement for the actual mortgage payment and make sure you only pay that. Therefore on your secured page you list the mortgagte element only.

With regard to the equity make sure you add any 'Early repayment penalty' if there is one, you'll find details, again on your mortgage
statement, tot he outstanding mortgage balance.
Hope this helps you

yes, full payment at beginning of March, as you will not be 'bankrupt' but make sure you only make the lower payment from beginning of April
