Response to Halifax reposessed wife's flat before I met her - 2

I think you need to establish why it took Halifax such a long time to sell the property. What was going on all that time? Also, it is now - given that we are in November 2000 - six years since even the date of sale. They have not actually instigated recovery proceedings against you. I may be wrong, but to my mind all they have done is write you (intimidating) letters. So their self-imposed six years is up. But nevertheless, *do* put them to 'strict proof' and insist, politely, that they substantiate properly all aspects of their claim against your partner, especially details of the marketing and sale. Also, you haven't said whether or not they have asked for your personal details? This would be an invasion of your privacy, especially if any details supplied or requested were destined for some form of electronic storage. Keep in touch. None of us here can give legal or financial advice, of course, but we can speak from experience and offer support. All best.
