HELP: Reposession notice received


Recommended Posts

OK,


Just got in and opened the post and we have a repossession notice served. Not quite sure why as the mortgage is paid by Standing order, and has been for the last 24 years. We've no money problems, all was moving along smoothly, so we thought...


Now I know I need to call them up and ask what it is all about, this is the first communication we have had with regard to any problems, but needless to say i'm a bit worried!


So, can anyone recommend a local solicitor to assist in this matter please?


Not quite sure I'm going to be able to sleep tonight. :-(

What a horrible shock to come home to.


First, and I know this might sound odd, have you checked the letter to ensure all the details correspond to you, your mortgage lender, loan references, address etc.? Mistakes can be made and letters generated.


Secondly, the Law Society has a lawyer finder tool on its website which might be helpful: http://solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk/?Pro=True


Locally, Glazer Delmar have a property department, but I don't know if they defend repossessions.


In the meantime (over the weekend), do you have any legal advice services attached to your home insurance? If so, you could initially give them a call and get some advice and reassurance from a lawyer over the phone.


I hope you sort things out soon and without too much stress.

Thanks IlonaM,


I'm a little calmer now, so thinking a little straighter too!!!


Taking a calm and pragmatic approach, while my wife is contacting the bank today.


Thanks for those words, much appreciated.


I've also had a private message that has told me some steps to take to delay the process to give time to understand what has happened here.

Hi LTP,


'Calm and pragmatic' sounds an excellent approach!


The more information and records you can muster the better in case the bank doesn't back down and you need to go further.


I was wondering whether it might be an idea to check Experian and the other credit agencies to make sure there is not a fraudulent or mistaken charge/debt against your home.


Wishing you both all the best,


Ilona

Thanks, a good thought. Will do that now.. GULP!

I am sure it was on a Radio 4 money advice programme someone suffered this and the house they thought was their's had been sold without them even knowing it. You got an early (lucky?) nod to a problem. You have done nothing wrong, tell everyone, CAB, Law Society and as advised above, but yes, what a shock! (Hope you are otherwise well x)

Sorry being dim here, or stressed, can you explain what you think may have happened in that scenario?

Sorry, I didn't mean to stress you out further. I was just following on from Peckham Rose's thought about the case on Money Box. Any sale of land/property has to be registered at the Land Registry. Checking that the details held at the Land Registry are still correct is a way of removing that worry.


You could do a search online [https://www.gov.uk/search-property-information-land-registry] if you prefer, but I'd be tempted to call for a chat.

Other things have, not you though!

I'll do that tomorrow.


Thanks once again.

    • This is a remarkable interpretation of history. Wikipedia (with more footnotes and citations than you could shake a shitty stick at sez: The austerity programme was initiated in 2010 by the Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government. In his June 2010 budget speech, Osborne identified two goals. The first was that the structural current budget deficit would be eliminated to "achieve [a] cyclically-adjusted current balance by the end of the rolling, five-year forecast period". The second was that national debt as a percentage of GDP would fall. The government intended to achieve both of its goals through substantial reductions in public expenditure.[21] This was to be achieved by a combination of public spending cuts and tax increases amounting to £110 billion.[26] Between 2010 and 2013, the Coalition government said that it had reduced public spending by £14.3 billion compared with 2009–10.[27] Growth remained low, while unemployment rose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_government_austerity_programme From memory, last time around they were against the LTNs and competing with the Tories to pick up backlash votes - both failed. They had no counterproposals or ideas about how to manage congestion or pollution. This time around they're simply silent on the matter: https://www.southwark-libdems.org.uk/your-local-lib-dem-team/goosegreen Also, as we have seen from Mr Barber's comments on the new development on the old Jewsons yard, "leading campaigns to protect the character of East Dulwich and Goose Green" is code for "blocking new housing".
    • @Insuflo NO, please no, please don't encourage him to post more often! 😒
    • Revealing of what, exactly? I resurrected this thread, after a year, to highlight the foolishness of the OP’s op. And how posturing would be sagacity is quickly undermined by events, dear boy, events. The thread is about Mandelson. I knew he was a wrong ‘un all along, we all did; the Epstein shit just proves it. In reality, Kinnock, Blair, Brown, Starmer et all knew as well but accepted it, because they found him useful. As did a large proportion of the 2024 intake of Labour MPs who were personally vetted and approved by Mandelson.
