Eventually, theoretically yes.
If payment is not made and judgement is entered into, if you then do not pay and a charging order is applied then theoretically a chargee can apply to have the house sold.
However it is often threatened rather than carried out.

Depends if the creditors have managed to get a charging order, would you like to tell us some more so that we can see if we can help.

If the debts are bad enough then a judge may decide to grant a charging order against the property. Outright reposession - i don't think so.
