Landlord in Mortgage Arrears

Yes, we have a letter from Shoosmiths, giving us 2 calendar months and it states that the money must be paid to Santander.

At least that's something.


The whole thing is confused.


Either the Lender won the possession hearing or they didn't. That depends on who's right really.

I was in a similar situation a few years ago. My LL also argued that I should not have left and the problem was partly caused by my failure to send his mail on promptly.

I took him through DPS, with a shed load of correspondence establishing that I had no way of knowing whether the repossession was to be rescinded or not and that I therefore had to find somewhere else and that I was under no obligation to forward his mail.

I won.

- Sheriffs are in Scotland - hence the confusion

Sheriffs in England were High Court Enforcement Officers prior to 2004. Now I think there is a service called "The Sheriffs Office" who are authorised High Court Enforcement Officers. The people you see on "Can't Pay? We'll Take it Away." That was probably who was chasing the OP's landlord for monies owed.

Whereas in Scotland there are Sheriffs' Courts where the sheriff is like a judge.

So a 'sheriff' can be

* a judge in a kilt
* a fat man looking for a TV
* a guy in a white hat with a pistol

or
