    From a purely financial point of view would it not be wise to accept that you cannot pay your way as things stand and that the best course of action would be to sell up and rent?

    You say you have £60K equity. Truth is that , to give yourself a chance, you would have to take £30 K after expenses. Think about dealing with your debts rather than trying to avoid them!!

    I appreciate that this is not taking into account other personal circumstances but it really is the only way to sort yourself out, short of winning the lottery that is!!

    With respect you are trying to avoid repaying a loan, given to you in good faith, by suggesting they are unenforceable.
  • i am not trying to say its unforceable,iam asking what it means and if i qualify?? i am quit aware that the loan is my responsibility to pay just wondered what it all ment. Isnt it worth a try to find out more and if i qualified. Are you all saying you wouldnt look into it if it was you?

    You can escape from the liability of a legal document by saying that you did not understand it.
  • am not trying to, perhaps you shouldnt bother trying to make people feel worse when they are wanting advice

    It may be worth having a look at ridingtherhino.co.uk. People on there claim to be able to negotiate secured loans, on the basis that the money isn't available to meet the repayments, rather than the loan was missold. I'm not convinced how valid the claims of the users of that site are, but it may be worth a look.
