Hi, 
My husband is in his 5th year of the IVA and I'm trying to find out some answers please 
We only have 10 years left of our mortgage and I really don't want to remortgage this close to being mortgage free , How can we stop this?
 
I've looked on the IVAs website under this section and it states that if a co owner will not consent to a remortgage or secured loan then usually a 12 month extension will apply ( thats fine) can I do this as co owner amd argue its on their website if they kick off?

Also whats if we could ask them to continue normal payments till the end of year 5 then settle with a payment for the equivalent of year 6s payments in a lump sum to finish early. ( If I can get a family member to pay) also is it based on your monthly x by 12 

We are sick with worry and stress that they will want a remortgage taking the mortgage to retirement age when we should of been mortgage free by 55

Thanks

    Ok, try and chill out a little, you are not forced to do anything, as co-owner you can object to a re-mortgage, and its fairy standard practice to do so.

    It will automatically mean at least another 12 months of payments, if you wanted to make a full and final settlement offer, you should do so in writing to your IP`s office, usually they would need a good reason to accept this offer, rather than letting the IVA complete.
