Avoiding repossession in Scotland and trying to keep
your home can feel like a tall order.
Avoiding repossession in
Scotland means acting quickly. If you're facing
repossession in Scotland your lender will have started legal action
in one of three ways.
Serving a calling up notice -
gives you a maximum of two months to pay off the
entire outstanding balance
Serving a notice of default -
gives you a month to pay-off arrears.
Applying for a Section 24
notice - you will receive an initial writ and
confirmation your lender is making an application
to the court to force repossession of your
home.
A key
difference between the calling up notice and the
notice of default is that a calling up notice asks
the borrower to repay the whole loan rather than
just make good the arrears.
In all cases, avoiding
repossession in Scotland, means applying to the court for a section 2
order to have the action suspended unless you
arrive at an alternative solution.
Avoiding repossession
in Scotland and keeping your home...
However, the further into the
process you get, the more your range of options
narrow and the harder it is to avoid repossession.
The longer you leave it the more likely you are to need
specialist help - which can take a number of forms.
