    Talking to them in the hope they'll agree to accept interest only for the time being, rather than interest and repayment. There's no way I/we can make the repayments part each month as well. I can't see them agreeing to take less than the interest, and if they did that would still leave me crippled when I get another job (don't expect to be able to earn enough to be able to cover debts as well as ongoing payments).

    You need to talk urgently to a debt advice charity like Step change or national Debtline about your finances.

    The Shelter website has good information on the possible steps and options available to a home owner who is at the risk of arrears and repossession.

    Just noticed that you are in Tyldesley OP. They are taking on at a distribution center on the Industrial estate in Westhoughton so both you and son may want to try there.

    Thanks. Done a bit of digging and not finding anything on-line - but I don't know the area so may be missing something obvious that someone in the know would search for. Son actually has an interview tomorrow evening (fingers crossed).
