Bankrupcy abroad

Hi, I'm not sure if anybody can help me with this but here goes. I bought a property in Spain which was rented out Unfortunatley I was conned and was left 2 months in arrears, with all utitlity bills. I have, since last year misssed one further payment and recently missed Decembers. Now with the euro as it is against the pound, I will struggle with everyday life if I continue with the repayments. I am aware that the house will be repossesed if it already hasn't been. My question is should I stop paying the mortgage. What will happen I am worried about all the legal issues and any come back in the future. I know many others are in this situation, especially those who purchased property from the same source as me and was swindled as I was. Thank you.

    Hi Lesley and welcome. Do you live in the UK? Have you sought advice from one of the debt charities like CCCS, National Debtline or CAB? I think a call to one of them would be the first thing you need to do. They should be able to let you know your options.

    Come back and let us know what they say.
