Help with secured loan info

When your mortgage payments finish can't you go bankrupt, as secured loan for 40k is to much of a risk, bankruptcy last for 6 years, how long will a 40k loan take to pay back.
Not sure if this is wise advice or not but certantly an easier route.
This doesn't make any sense - the OP currently has a mortgage of say around £280k. At a guess its going to be a fairly long term left on the mortgage. And when the have finally repaid it then they'll have a significant assets of around £350k in today's values.
To suggest they go bankrupt when the mortgage is finished being repaid doesn't explain how they manage the repayments on the £40k debt for the next 10-20years (whatever the mortgage term is), and they wouldn't be able to go bankrupt anyway after that as they wouldn't be insolvent.A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who giveor "It costs nowt to be nice"0 -

Agree just read it back myself And it's a pointless And useless post actually, I didn't read the OPs post properly.0 -
I will complete the SOA and post on here, although maybe tomorrow.
Also, what i meant by paying the bills with other income is that obviously things would have to go, e.g. car, we both need them for our work, so one would have to go, secured loan could reduce our CC bills by around £400 etc.
We would need to cut the cloth to suit...but is manageable.0 -
post it on debt wannabe section..not hereIt is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.0 -

With a staggering £40k of debt, hopefully you are realising you should be cutting the cloth now.0
