My Last Hope When I was around the age of 19 I married and bought a house, when the marriage broke down we handed the keys back to Bradford and Bingley. 11 years later they started chasing the outstanding debt, my ex-wife I think paid £7,000 but when I offered the same amount I was turned down. It is now around 12 years later and because we could not agree on a settlement figure they have added interest for the last 21 years. So an amount that started of at £22,000 has grown to £80,000 and is still growing (having read some other posts, can they still be charging me interest) , I have in the past before it went to court offered various amounts which were all turned down. The court case was in Leeds around trip of 300 miles and i could not get time off work, I asked for it to be moved closer but it never was, and stupidly did nothing. The case was decided against me. They from time to time ( about every 6 months) they ask for me to go to the court in to prove my financial position, which I do then I here no more. After the last court visit, they sent me a letter stating they wanted an order put on the house i now own, so that i could niether remortgage or sell without thier say so. Can you tell me what my options ( apart from the find some rope and a stout tree, which believe me is getting closer all the time) are as my wife and myself are worried sick, and this is driving a vast wedge between us. If I have to go bankrupt, will I lose the house I have now, putting my wife and 4 children on the street. I have 50,000 equity and very little savings. |
