    You being added is unlikely to change a lender stance as the original person is still on so their conduct would still be taken into account.

    Does not sound like a great situation to be in. I assume the secured loan is a pretty high rate?

    Best thing you could do is pay as much as you can and get the balance down as quickly as possible which may enable you to remortgage elsewhere.

    A couple of questions if I may, Why wont they allow you to move over to a repayment mortgage?
    Surely this is in their best interests to know they are actually aiding you to clear the debt.

    I hope you have a way to repay the mortgage in future...?
