Heres the outline of my case i would be grateful for any help whatever it may be;(posted 7773 days ago)My ex Husband and I took out a loan for £85000 in Jan/Feb 1990 with NHL, NHL corresponded solely with my ex husband, about the loan and the property was reposessed in about Jul 1994. NHL contacted me in Jan 2000 looking for approx £ 100000. "the property" had been sold for £66000 and my ex husband had made repayments of approx £20000.
The independent financial adviser, who setup the loan and was dealing only with my husband appears to have been dismissed from his previous position for misbehaving in some property deals, but I have been unable to contact him or establish if he was a NHL agent. The loan was taken out on the basis that we were living in "the property" I was not. When the loan was taken out I am sure that the financial advisor was aware of this. My ex husband was both mentally and physically abusive to me and had seen a pychiatrist for 6 months prior to our divorce. I was very frighented of him and only signed the papers to protect myself. He constantly threatened me and also threatened that he would not transfer my present property over to me if I did not do as he wished.
I have been seeing and speaking with a solictor and barrister and we are due to go to trial this coming monday. The lowest figure NHL are prepared to accept is £25000 + £ 5000 legal fees. Both my barrister and solictor feel we should settle and rate the case as 50-50 if we go to trial.
I would be grateful for any response.
