Equity in House

Had appointment with CCCS and starting DMP 1 November they were very helpful and non judgemental

    From what I've read on these boards as long as it is unsecured they cannot touch the house. There may be odd exceptions, I honestly don't know but there are alot of wise people on this board who will no doubt be able to answer your question properly.
  • Probably not, we need a bit more detail. To take the house they would need a charging order, with three owners and a small amount of equity I doubt if they could make it stick. Never turn unsecured into secured. Can we have details of the debt?
