Any thoughts on our situation

3 Posts
Hi,
Looking for advice, have a mortgage with NR was a 7 year fixed, it ends in January we are going onto SVR, the house is worth about 120-125k our mortgage is for 43k, during the 7 years we got into trouble through disabilities on my part, which had left us stuggling and for too long we robbed peter to pay tom, we went to cccs in Jan 2006 and went on a DMP, my hubby has 2 defaults and I have 1.
I am now on disability benefits for life (6200k) so don't have any income just the benefits and my hubby is on a lowish wage of 15600k.
Is there a likely hood of anyone possibly giving us a another fixed rate? as it would take the stress away knowing what our payments are, I think I know the answer but just thought I would ask.
We are still on a DMP (some of the creditors are now getting more than their minimum payment) have never missed a payment with our DMP or our mortgage ever.
Any thoughts would be appreiated.
Thanks

Ring them and ask
Their web site doesn't appear to have a range of fixed rates for existing borrowers, so it doesn't look good.
It makes reference to an SVR of 4.79%, a loyalty SVR of 4.54% (subject to a range of criteria that include having had the mortgage for 7 years and being up to date) and a base rate guarantee.
I have no idea what "base rate guarantee" is, so it may be worth digging out your original mortgage paperwork to see what rate you are meant to go on to when your fixed rate ends - but picking up the phone should cover all bases.
