Hi all , i have posted on here a few times and was planning on going bankrupt sometime next year once i get the funds together , i knew this would involve losing my house for mortgage arrears and charging orders .

I have tried to reason with my mortgage company but eventually we could not come to an agreement and i have a court order for repossession on the 10 th of december , i know i am going to lose my house and currently in the process of finding rented accommodation , but as yet have not found anywhere suitable , my question is once i attend the court hearing on the 10 th roughly how long do i have before they repossess my property , i don't fancy being made homeless just before Christmas lol .

help would extremely appreciated thanks James.

Hi,

I think it has been mentioned in a previous thread that you could mention it to the judge to see if they can help with the date.

You could speak to the mortgage company to see if they will hold off with the possession until after Christmas.

You could also try speaking to the CAB to see if they can assist you at all.

Is there anyone who could act as a guarantor for you with regards to rent?

You may find that some landlords want six months rent in advance if you have a bad credit rating.

Yes they are both options , i do have a few family members who would borrow me the funds for the advance rent and/or act as a guarantor but the last estate agent we went to see said no straight away , but maybe other estate agents would be more lenient we will keep trying if not i have access to a touring caravan so we may be camping for Christmas lol .

It's good that you do have something you can do and how narrow sighted of the estate agents to say no. Keep trying and hopefully you won't have to resort to the caravan.

Good luck for the 10th and hopefully you can get repossession put off until the New Year.

yes thank you got a positive result , turned up at the court hearing and we have to pay our next mortgage payment on the 28 th ,if not then they will apply for another possession , but we should have a much clearer view of the decision we are going to make by then , so we have breathing space and safe in the knowledge that we can spend christmas in our house without fear of eviction .
