Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
Over the years I have managed to build up £1000's of mortgage arrears and I am slowly paying them off. The main reason I am starting to be able to pay it off is because my mortgage payments are low just now and the mortgage company (GE Money) have been very, very patient with us!
However, I am getting charged an arm and a leg for being over and I heard that getting a credit card would probably be cheaper as the interest rates are cheaper. This is all well if you have a good credit rating, but I dont. Is there anyway, I can get a credit card with a bad credit rating. I have never had one before so any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Roughly how much are you arrears now and what are your monthly payments?
Its never good paying credit with credit as with all best intentions, you may then fall behind with the credit card and they have extortionate charges and interest.
For the time being i would say concentrate on the clearing the arrears and worry about the charges later on down the line. You could contact your morgage company and see if there is anything possible
Obviously, thats my own personal opinion and not financial advice!
