Response to repossession - what can I do?

from Lee (repossession@bigfoot.com)
You need to see a lawyer, is the short answer. It's already progressed too far for general advice in that they technically own the place if there has been a court repossession order. I would also ring the Woolwich on Monday and see if they are willing to undo what has happened.

Failing that, you may find a court will consider it but frankly I would let it go. If your brother can't afford to pay for it there's little point in keeping him in there, as presumably this will reoccur. It would be more practical to help him negotiate a limited settlement when (if) the society comes looking for any shortfall.

Prior to repossession this may not be so as courts will often not allow repossession if the customer can pay something. But I do not know of them doing this after repossession.

I hope this helps
