Need to borrow £20k
Options
I need to borrow £20,000 to buy my estranged wife out of the marital home. I've tried to get a secured loan but due to being in a debt management plan and in a shared ownership home, i've been refused.
So I was wondering if my plan B could work. My parents are both in their mid 70's but own their house outright. I'm not sure if they can either release some of the equity in their house or get the loan for me and i pay it back monthly for them.
Their house is worth around £320k. What advice would you give?
Many thanks in advance.

Of course if your in a debt repayment plan you won!!!8217;t get the credit. Having a debt repayment plan shows you can!!!8217;t afford to pay off the debts you have. Adding 20k dent on top how on earth will you pay that back.
What is the loan for. Could you not save upMortgage free wannabe
Actual mortgage stating amount £75,150
Overpayment paused to pay off cc
Starting balance £66,565.45
Current balance £58,108
Cc around 8k.0 -
My advice would be don't drag your parents into your mess.0

Sounds very simple
1. Sell the house
2. Pay off your ex
3. Pay off all of your creditors
4. Buy another house that you can actually afford without needing to be on a DMP0 -
Afraid i agree with Richey here best to sell up and take the cash0

I assume she will be having her name removed from the deeds and the mortgage will be in your name only....have you applied for a mortgage in your name only?
I would think selling up to be the best bet. If your parents want to help, could you move in with them whilst you address your debts and get yourself into a better position?0 -

Asking for £30K from parents house....
Now you need £20K loan - whats happening, did your house sale fall through or do you want to try and keep your property?
You are better off selling up and settling all debts. Sounds like your Ex Wife was in the DMP together.
I dont think you should put your parents in financial difficultly to pay of your Ex, you should let them keep their money for their retirement.
Good luck in what ever you do.0
