LPA receivers called in for just over 2 months arrears?

Hi Darren,

This does obviously seem very harsh, but I have given up being surprised by how and why Mortgage Express call in LPA receivers. We have so many readers questions/articles on the subject of cases it may help to know you are not alone if you want to do a Article search using the Search Articles box on the left.

We do however have a Property118 member (Peter Fisher) who is a Lawyer and specialises in helping readers fight unfair Mortgage Express and LPA tactics.

Darren,

Are you perhaps a landlord who is not aware of what Mortgage Express have been up to in recent times and maybe figured that a couple of months mortgage arrears is nothing too much to get uptight about (as would likely be the case with the majority of other lenders)?

If so, you will be in for a surprise when you start researching!

Not that what MX are doing is right, but if I had any of their products, I would make sure my half of the bargain was squeaky-clean to give them as little ammo as possible.

Unfortunately you are one of literally thousands of people who have been brought down not only by MX but by many other banks (including mine) who are using TOTALLY UNREGULATED LPA Receivers to do their dirty work.

My advice is to apply to court to sell the property yourself that is in LPA Receivership and to either re mortgage the other one or sell that as well ASAP.

Trust me……you won’t beat them. Get out of the situation as soon as you can. It’s the only way.

Mortgage Express did the same to me (I realised too late as mail had not been forwarded). When I found out I wrote long explanatory letters and spent many futile hours on the phone trying to find out why they were being so unreasonable. In the end I offered them TEN times the arrears to back off. They refused and repossessed – which makes clear it isn’t about the money. They are under orders to close and terminate their mortgage book and have become increasingly aggressive at finding any excuse to shut you down. You have my sympathies but alas in your position, and unless you can find another mortgage pronto, I wouldn’t hold out much hope.

Essentially, you gave them the excuse…by having arrears.

With a MX loan you need to do absolutely everything on your part to the letter.

Arrears are over 5 months’ worth of mortgage payments. I do not think it can be a surprise that they are seeking possession.

You did not explain why you were in arrears in the first place, but it sounds as though the property was being let throughout.
