Hello all,

I am in need of advice and guidance!
We are currently in a fixed rate mortgage, which is due to expire in july this year - Our mortgage company has advised us that they no longer offer fixed rate mortgages, and would have to go on to the variable rate, which currently stands at 8.12% - this would mean we would be paying an extra £265 per month - but, of course,as it would be variable, this could change on a month to month basis!
We are currently 6 months into our IVA, paying £410 per month, at a dividend of about 26p. I have spoken to our IP, who says we will have to do a new expenditure sheet ones the changes have taken plcae - but, realisticlly, it would be highly unlikley that our creditorswould accept suh a big change, and a low dividend!
At the moment, we owe £127,000 on our mortgage, but can honestly say, going from the current housing market on our street, the property would only sell for £110/£115k - which means there is negative equity, and as such, the option of geting a re-mortgage with another lender would not be an option!
Therefore, I can see no other option but becoming bankrupt! Which is such a scary thought!
Please, can anybody offer any advice, and also, let me know what would happen to us and our house if we where to be made bankrupt!
My 5 year old son has recently been diagnosed with autism, so are already in astressful situation, and am very worried thinking about what will happen to my family

Hi
Crazy that your IP did not identify this problem before your IVA started.
Speak with a mortgage broker and see what your options are [Welshboy and Andrew Graveson are both highly regarded brokers and contact details can be found on the experts link]
If your house is indeed in negative equity and you decide on bankruptcy then you may be able to get a third party to buy out the ORs interest for a £1 and as long as you keep up with mortgage payments you will retain your house.All your unsecured debts and any shortfall from the house sale will form part of your bankruptcy
