From the lender's perspective this will now run it's natural course. They won't wait indefinately if there's no proactive action taken. The contract will will enforced at additional expense to recover the money owed.1

It does sound very much like you are running out of options.
The sooner you accept this and sell your property to settle the balance the better off you will be and the more money you will walk away with.
The costs will only start racking up with agents visits, arrears charges, legal fees and repossession charges all of which will eat into your equity.
By all means seek some advice but do this quickly as you are running out of time on this one and the costs will start escalating quickly.1 -
