    I thought you agreed not to take on or seek/ apply for credit when on a DMP (i.e. loan/mortgage applications ?)

    Suggest you sell the property. Clear your debts. Then move forward from there.

    Your previous credit history may well impact you from obtaining a mortgage for a while.

    that is the ideal situation but where would we live if that happened and would we get a mortgage again ? so im guessing the answer is no we would not be able to port our mortgage?
  • Angie, if nr did allow you to port, unlikely, they will base you on the new mortgage as of now. Highly likely a credit score decline. Portability is a facilitu offered, not a given should you not fit criteria.

    Sell, pay debt, clean slate, save.....win win win.

    Porting would require you to meet all lending criteria at the time. Not a simple case of moving the mortgage. DMP likely to cause issues.

    Credit to you for looking to repay the debts, must be difficult to sacrifice your home. However it will probably be the best move in the long run.

    I would suggest you speak to a broker to see if this can be done. Get copies of your Experian, Equifax and Call Credit credit reports

    Good luck and fingers crossed for you.
