Charging orders

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Repossession : One Thread

if a charging order is made against a house, is there a specified time limit by which the house must be sold to repay the debt - also the debt is for less than £1600 and was unsecured. instalments were being made but were not being accepted by creditor who wanted full amount in one lump sum.

I for one cannot understand [maybe I am thick] but if it was unsecured how is it a charge was put on your property? the way I understand it a charge is a loan or whatever secured against the property?

-- David (stitsevol@aol.com), January 06, 2003.

A charging order can be made if the creditor has obtained a CCJ although the creditor needs to apply for one, either at the hearing date or if payment schedule is broken. There is a new law coming into force which will allow any creditor to obtain a charging order even if the payments are kept upto date. In other words in a few years there will be no such thing as an unsecured debt!

Cant help on original question, may I suggest posting on either www.debthelpuk.co.uk or www.debtquestions.co.uk

check on the websites as advised, but as a general rule a secured creditor owes virtually no meaningful duties to the debtor as to time of realisation, price etc. it is only in failry extreme circumstances that the courts have interfered.

this is not really an answerto you, but how do you know if a charge has been made on your property?
