    When we bought the house they lent us 5x our income and charged us a £2,500 higher lending fee. Looking back now it is madness. Try told us after 3 years we could switch to repayment but clearly that couldn't happen.

    It's just so sad that it has come to this! We both work 5 days a week to support a 2 year old, all for a terraced ex council house!

    Why does being in negative equity affect ones ability to keep up payments?

    When did I suggest that???

    I'm merely saying I can't afford my mortgage and due to the fact I am in negative equity I need advice re options
