OP, I’m sorry that you look likely to be losing your home.  Don’t make any rash decisions though.  I take it the repossessing bank is aware of your situation?

This.

You need to make sure that the bank knows that there is a tenant in the property. 

Ultimately the bank will get an order to evict any occupiers but if they are aware of your tenancy then you will be notified of the process and it is normal for a court to grant the tenants some additional time (not that much, but it is better than nothing)  to leave if the tenants engage with the court.

As part of this you might expect to see some letters addressed to "the occupier" - make sure you open and read them - they will probably be important.  Doing that is not a replacement for proactively letting the bank know you are there though, f you can.
