default on a french mortgage

Posts: 1 Newbie
I have a french mortgage on a property secured abroad. The mortgage is £48,000 and the value WAS £70,000 but as prices stand now it looks like 50-60 & would be difficult to sell. It currently looks like the property will be repossessed as I don't have the income to pay it. My question is what is the most painless method to bring this to the end.
1) if the bank takes over the property and there is still debt on it can they claim the debt through the english courts?
2) will this have any impact on my UK credit rating
3) what would be the implications in france for not paying (can they bring criminal charges)
4) can the french mortgage instruct a UK firm to collect debt on their behalf

Be very worried!
Look at the way that the French went steaming into Libya and Gaddafi only had a parking ticket picked up in Marseilles :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0
