Stop house repossession before it’s too late
Facing the threat of repossession can be frightening and stressful for all involved. If your financial situation is such that you can’t afford to make your mortgage repayments, your lender will begin repossession proceedings against you in order to recover their investment. It’s important that you do everything you can to avoid repossession, and you can start as soon as you receive the first letter from your lender.
Write to your mortgage company
Lenders are less likely to start repossession proceedings if you communicate with them regularly to let them know about the problems you’re having. Write to your lender, or call them as soon as you think you might have problems with your repayments. Tell them about your circumstances and ask if they are willing to negotiate more affordable payments. Always keep them informed so that they know your latest financial position. This shows the lender that you are concerned about your repayments and that you’re willing to try as hard as possible to meet your responsibilities.
Look for ways to increase your income
You may be able to find extra money if you take a close look at how much money is coming into your house and how much is being spent. Making savings on items you don’t really need, cutting back on spending and looking for overtime or taking on a second job are all ways that you could increase your income, helping you to make repayments.
Look at your assets
What do you own that ties up your money? Your house is an obvious asset, but you may also have more than one car, a caravan or other larger asset that you can sell to raise some money.
Stop house repossession by selling your home
If you want to avoid losing your house completely, and suffering from the credit rating and other financial problems that could follow, sell your house now so that you can raise the money you need to clear your mortgage. If you have repaid your debt, the mortgage lender can no longer take your home away and records will show that you managed to clear your debt. You may have an entry on your credit record that shows you have fallen behind with mortgage payments, but that is far better than having a repossession order on your record.
