currently
we have a mortgage with abbey 104,000
secured loan with first plus for 25,000

payment less per month by £100
15,900 cash back

having problems with first plus's deed of postponement as the remortgage is still in progress now after 6 weeks

we will have the money to cover our monthly overspend for the next 18 months to work out summat

    I can't see Firstplus agreeing a deed of postponement for a loan of £25,000 where the main mortgage is nearly £120,000 and the property has been revalued at £135,000.

    I'm saying that based on the figures, not on any knowledge of Firstplus.

    You are asking a secured loan to position themselves after a higher mortgage than they are already placed. So really they were following on from £104,000 and you are asking them to follow £119,600.

    The revaluation of £135,000 is also going to worry them. There is only £15,000 equity between £119,600 and £135,000. Allow for selling costs, legal fees etc and if the was a repossession situation they would hardly get anything after this larger mortgage was cleared.

    I know you may think the valuation is low but they will only base decisions on the figures they have.

    Putting it another way, by increasing the mortgage, you are putting all your cashback on the mortgage and so it will occupy a higher position in repayment terms than the secured loan from Firstplus.

    I know this isn't what you want to hear, but I've based it all logically on the figures you presented.

    The only thing I could suggest is ringing Firstplus and asking them for a decision.

  • we have a letter from first plus saying that it is agreed and the only sticky point is the wording of the deed as sent to our solicitor which they are working on it has been difficult this year and this will give us some leaway another point is that except for the secured loan nearly all the debt in in my name only so is it possible for me to go br without my wife losing everything?

  • If you were to go the bankruptcy route the OR cannot make you move out of your home for at least 12 months, simply because you have children.

    If you go bankrupt you are going to lose your house anyway, so what else has your wife got to lose?

    Why are they going to loose the house anyway, it isnt always that way ...
