    The debt is secured until you are no longer the legal owner.
    Has the house been formally repossessed in court?
    If yes, then you tell Black Horse to take a hike, and report them to the OR for hassling you.
    If no, they will still hassle you until you are no longer the legal owner, just tell them the house is in the process of being formally repossessed and they can take a hike as soon as it is.

    Either way you do not have to pay them.
