I have just been given a repossession notice and a date for the court hearing.(posted 7331 days ago)I am currently 5 months in arrears and am a classic example of those who bury their head in the sand.
I informed Natwest back in the new year that I was having financial difficulties due to redundancy and ill health but would try and pay what I could. I have just written to them and forwarded 6 post dated cheques to pay towards the arrears (now working full time again) but the court papers arrived on my doorstep this morning.
I am absolutely petrified - and to make matters worse my partner knows nothing about the arrears as I deal with all financial matters. Naturally I would like to clear this up asap and without him finding out.
Is there anyway I can stop the proceedings by clearing or agreeeing to pay the arrears? If not how does the process work and does my partner have to attend the hearing. We are on rocky ground as it is and this will just tip him over the edge and I have a six year old daughter to think about.
PLEASE HELP, I'M DESPERATE AND DON'T KNOW WHERE TO TURN!!
