    The only way is for him to get a new loan and pay off the first.

    However, if he's defaulting on payments, that probably isn't going to happen.
  • Cant see that happening as its £13,000 and he has bad credit.Just wondered as im not named on the mortgage but thanks fort reply

    Your score is only seen by you, what has been impacted by the defaults is your credit history.


    Has he caught up with the payments or still behind ?
