Re-Mortgages with defaults - current likelyhood

Hi,

I'm looking for advice and any personal experience of re-mortgaging with defaults.

I have around 13k in outstanding debts with 7 defaults which I'm paying back via payplan debt management.
I'm in a very secure job with a decent wage.

My mortgage currently stands at £70,500 with a perfect payment history. My home is valued at approx £120,000.

I would like to remortgage to settle my defaults. Is there any way this is achievable?

Some will wonder why I want to secure this debt against my home?
Simple answer is I see this as the fastest way to clear my defaults to a house move, which would require further borrowing in the future.

Payplan financial services want to have a chat with me as they reckon they can help but I really would be surprised if it can be done even with my equity???

Sorry if this should be in debt wannabe, wasn't sure if this was the right forum.

Thanks in advance.

    When were the defaults and for how much?

    Who is your current lender and what rate?

    With a payment plan in place its going to be very difficult.

    Thats not to say its impossible the rates would not be great - i would imagine between 5-7% with set up fees of around £3k - thats more of a ball park figure it could be more or less than that but i wouldnt expect to be less.

    Defaults range from £700-£4000, dates 2010- June 2012

    Currently with Halifax, rate is fixed at approx 3.59%? (Need to double check that).

    Thanks or the reply.

    Would you think I would be as well increasing my payments and try pay off outstanding unsecured debts quicker?

    Wait a couple of years and hope I'm in a position to get a more competitive rate?

    Thanks for reply.

    List the defaults and dates.

    How much do you need to repay them all?

    I would personally get my reports and sit down with a broker.
    See what they can find you, then compare it to as things currently stand and you can then decide what is best.
