    Sorry, I am unable to word this better but you have a problem well both you and your Ex do.

    Santander will not do this, this is an absolute so you may get a different answer elsewhere telling you to complain etc. but please trust me that they will not do this.

    Given the fact you are on a DMP, depending upon the amount of unsecured debt it is incredibly unlikely that an alternative lender will take it on.

    Genuinely am sorry it is not better news, but at least knowing this you can prepare...

    If your ex wishes to be removed from the mortgage then you are going to have to sell. Your ex can force the sale of the property. At your expense through the courts.

    As there's equity you can then clear your debts and start life afresh.


    Why at OP expense??? Joint mortgage joint expense!!!!!!

    Ex can apply to court for forced sale of property.

    Judge can award all costs of case against OP if there is no justified reason for blocking sale of property. In effect the case is a complete waste of the Court's time.

    Costs can amount to several thousand pounds. So little point in wasting the money. Better to resolve the matter in an equitable manner. In fairness to both parties concerned.

    Far out, man.

    Your first couple of posts on this thread look like poems. I like that, you know? Real special, like.

    I wouldn't worry about leaving your house to your son. You're leaving him something far more valuable: how not to conduct your finances.
