repossession and black list

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Repossession : One Thread

My friend has a house that she hasn't lived in for a number of years. Its worth half the value from the original price it was bought for. I want to know how she will go about to hand in the keys or even stop paying for the house. She has a full time job and wants to give the house back but is worried about what will happen and does the black list last for a long time. She has a mortgage with the Halifax the amount was £22 000 The house is now worth around £15 000 She has been paying for 7 years Please can you reply with advise as asap as it needs to be done very soon Many many thanks Dave Lucas CO Wendy White

Hi Dave,

You say the mortgage *was* for £22,000, by which I presume you mean that this was the amuont owing 7 years ago. How much of the capital has she paid off over 7 years, or how much endowment value has she built up over that time?
