Am I stuck with NRAMs SVR?

Hi there,
Bought flat in Dec 2006. Paid £101,000, with £5k deposit. Interest rate of 5.84 fixed for 5 yrs
Struggled with debt and defaulted. Resulting in poor credit rating at present and for the foreseeable.
Went on interest only for the last year and used this time to repay debts.
Mortgage stands at £91,000. Flats in my development are currently selling at 100k or just below.
Although the SVR is better than my old rate, I'm still a little gutted to be paying 4.79%.
I know I'm not in an ideal situation due to defaults and limited LTV. Just thought I'd cast the net out and see if there's any options I'd not considered.
Thanks in advance

With no additional funds to increase your equity in the property I can't see any options for you in the short-term. Sorry.I am a mortgage broker.
