Are you one of those unfortunate people staring at the possibility of loosing your house in the hands of greedy mortgage or finance companies? You are not alone. There are thousands of looming repossession cases.

With interest rates on the rise in UK, the repossession worries are real for many home owners. While the economy is going strong, the mortgage lenders are happy to lend whatever you want. It often translates to many times of your annual salary – or whatever their lending criteria is. But even the slight rise in interest rates makes your job vulnerable. Compound that with any pending divorce, sickness or any thing else and problems compound.

Family house being repossessed is never a good experience for anyone, ever. I have spoken to many people before and after they went through repossession experiences and the stress they go through, no one can help but feel for their state of mind. Unfortunately there is no easy way out. Lenders want to recover their money. The only way to stop repossession is to come up with all the back dated money owed, or demonstrate a convincing plan that it will be paid off in some way or another.

However there are ways to reduce the stress by being proactive or even creative. These ways are:

1. Give your mortgage company a call

In my experience it is possible to work out a deal with your lender even at a last minute. They may be able to look into possibilities they have not looked into before – whether it is about lending you further money to clear your debts or a new payment plan. Even if you have been asked to appear in court for the proceedings to start, it is still possible to stop the repossession order. Remember, it is not all over yet.

2. Be prepared

If there is no other way but go to the court then you can do worst than not being prepared. Have you got all the correspondence with all parties in a file? Have you listed details of all your expenses and income history? This will show that you are organized but have fallen on ill times for no fault of yours. You may even have a plan on how you are planning to sell your house quickly. You may even get in touch with a cash buyer for your house. Preparation may help convince court that you need extra time to sort out some loose ends. Remember, courts do not like handing out repossession orders. It is only the last resort. More prepared or proactive you are, better it will work in your favor.

3. Seek advice

If you are in danger of losing your home to the mortgage company, then take legal and financial advice to ensure that you are doing everything possible to avoid repossession. A good legal adviser will make sure that the mortgage company is following due process and not making it unreasonably difficult for you to make payments and clear your debts. They can also help you if you need to go to court, explaining the process and making sure that you have all the supporting documentation you need.

A specialist financial adviser can arrange short-notice loans, which can help you to get out of trouble. With just a few days notice and with access to dedicated lenders, they can arrange a loan that allows you to pay off your debts and start afresh. They can also arrange a quick and hassle free house sale, without the need for estate agents fees or a lengthy sales procedure, which means that you raise the money you need with the minimum hassle. This will almost certainly stop repossession.
