remortgage to offer full and final settlement

hi could anyone advise me please, at the moment im on a debt management plan due to credit cards owing 14,224 i have been on the plan for about 18 months, does anyone know if it would be a good idea to remortgage for extra 10,000 and offer full and final settlement, and are there any lenders who would lend to me.

    I would think it depends on what you are paying now, and what the cost of remortgage is.
    You will get a mortgage, but the rate will usually depend on your credit rating, which may have been shot to hell by the credit card companies.
    I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

  • Depends on the equity on the house.

    If they see you can raise 10K, they will likely say raise the full amount required and they won't accept anything less.
