    I thought the idea of the DAS scheme was to protect your house.

    The house wont be sold now, so I wont have any spare cash to pay them.

    I havent discussed any equity in the house with the advisor.

    Im hoping that they will accept the DAS as I will hopefully be able to increase my monthly payments each year.
  • GOLFER,

    Your house is safe and the equity has no bearing on the decision to grant the DAS application.

    I had over £100k equity in my home (obv my wife would be entitled to half - god love her!)

    Even if your creditors object to the DAS (I think it needs to be creditors in excess of 75% of the value of your DAS) the final decision rests with the DAS Administrator on whether your proposal to repay is fair and reasonable.

    cheers

    Do you mean 75% of the DAS value object to the DAS then it might not be granted.
