With interest rates on the rise in UK, the repossession worries are real for many home owners. While the economy is going strong, the mortgage lenders are happy to lend whatever you want. It often translates to many times of your annual salary – or whatever their lending criteria is. But even the slight rise in interest rates makes your job vulnerable. Compound that with any pending divorce, sickness or any thing else and problems compound. Repossession is not a good experience. I have spoken to many people before and after repossession experience and no human can help but feel for their state of mind. Unfortunately there is no easy way out – unless you can come up with the money these companies want to cover the interest payments. This is the only way to stop repossession. But there are other ways too. These are: 1. 1. Talk to your mortgage company Lenders’ computers follow rules. They will issue you a letter as soon as it meets certain criteria – like missing one or two payments. The person on the other side of the phone may understand your situation if you explain to him. He may even help you come up with a workable solution against repossession. So it does not hurt to pick up the phone and clear some air. 2. Preparation Impatient lenders may not want to wait for your circumstances to improve. There is not a lot you can do about it because you are contractually obliged to their actions on missing payments. So prepare detailed accounts of your expenses and income. Also come up with ideas how you may be able to make future payments (like, you are applying for certain types of jobs). Also have mention how you may sell your house quickly for cash if need be. This will show the court (and mortgage company) that you are organised but have fallen on hard times. Courts are well known to take sympathetic stance towards borrowers and issue eviction order only when all fails. 3. Find Advisors for their Advice If you are in danger of losing your home to the mortgage company, then take legal and financial advice to ensure that you are doing everything possible to avoid repossession. A good legal adviser will make sure that the mortgage company is following due process and not making it unreasonably difficult for you to make payments and clear your debts. They can also help you if you need to go to court, explaining the process and making sure that you have all the supporting documentation you need. A financial advisor who knows what he (or she) is talking about can, in many cases, help you get out of trouble. Financial advisors often have access to lenders who may be willing to look at your case more sympathetically than your current lender. For example, some lenders are much more patient and happy to give you longer than others to sort out your financial problems. Some times a matter of a few weeks can make all the difference. And a good financial advisor often knows who such lenders are. This could even stop repossession altogether.
