Response to Where to next ?

OK, the first thing is not to panic !

1. You should immediately serve SARNs on both Northern Rock and the firm of solicitors. Send recorded delivery. Look around this site for detailed advice on how to write a SARN letter.

2. On no account speak to anyone about this on the telephone. If they do phone you, say that you will only correspond with them by letter.

3. You should ask them to explain how they arrive at the figure of £15,000...you need to see valuations (more than one), legal costs, the amount of money the raised through the sale of the flat and so on.

4. If someone does come calling, refuse them entry, and refuse to speak to them, no matter who they are or how friendly they seem. It is important that this person will be sent by the solicitors and is working for them - they will be out to collect as much information about you as they can. If they refuse to go away, call the police (this is both trespass and harrassment).

5. Come back here often, and let us know how you're getting on. You'll find that although this all seems very alarming it soon becomes almost routine. Remember that they don't want to take you to court, despite what they may say. If it does go to court, it is by no means certain that they will win their case...

6. Good Luck !
