Hi df
If you post how much equity there is in your property, your income and your outgoing expenditure excluding payments to unsecured debts then someone will be along to advise.
No worry there is always a solution, you are better to deal with it now than let the situation worsen.
Be patient they will wake up soon.

Hi df and welcome to the forum

How much is your property worth, and how much do you owe on the mortgage and secured loan? It may be possible to consolidate the two into just one mortgage, but the maximum you would be able to borrow would be 95% loan to value. If this is possible for you, then you could put the whole thing onto an interest only basis, thereby benefiting from lower monthly repayments.

Try and do something about this as soon as possible, because once you hit three missed mortgage payments this gives the lender the right to commence possession proceedings against the property.
