Negative Equity V Welcome Finance

Hi - a few years ago I was in desperate need of help while being 4 months in arears with both Mortgage and Secured Loan company - had some great advice on this forum and in need of some more if possible?

I have eventually managed to keep on top of my debts but now wish to sell the house which has been valued at 77,000 - which coincidentally is around about how much I owe on both Mortgage and Secured Loan.

OK the stupid part now :mad: - I also have what I stupidly assumed at the time was an unsecured loan from Welcome - after reading again my contract (duh!) I find its actually a secured loan of which is now around 13,000 - although after checking with the land registry I find also that the loan hasnt been registered against the house??

OK after all the waffle - my question is ? - will I be able to sell my house and turn whatevers left into an unsecured loan?

Incidentally (and I am sure this is a bit wrong?) I am paying them 101.96 a month of which 86.21 is taken for "CAPITALISATION" anyone know what that is?

Many thanks in advance

Zelig

    The interest rate may well be high with welcome finance but how do you think they pay for all them adverts on the TV !
    You need to read you paperwork that came with the loan agreement to find out the APR of the loan
