Father with 14k secured loan.

Hi,
My father took out a 12k loan. He isnt financially clever and doesnt understand finances.

He got in arrears with the loan which is secured on his house, and its now up to £14k. Hes paying 13.5% interest.

When he got in arrears the case went to court. Hes got a reposetion order in place if he fails to pay again. He pays £350 a month, the most he can afford.

Whats the best thing he can do? I think he would like to get a non secured loan.. but he hasnt got the best of credit ratings?

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA

Find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life.
