considering selling house!!! advise please

I'm seriously considering selling my house to pay off my debts and mortgage and start again. The house sale will cover my debts with no extra money left to me - but that's fine. I'm currently having trouble paying my mortgage payments (well I wouldn't if Northern Rock move the payment date to the 25th but they insist it has to be the 1st). I'm at the wrong end of a £3000 overdraft and am seriously spiralling out of control.

I've been on the council waiting list for about 2 years now so a council house is imminent.

My question is when I finally get a house from the council - do I still have to pay my mortgage payments if I don't live there and if I tell them the house is to be sold and all the money owed will be given to them?

By the way - don't touch Northern Rock!!! they're a waste of space.

They said they could help but they will charge me £800???????? - yes they're a business not a charity - but £800? for help with money problems?
