What specific question do you have or what issues are of concern to you?
After work contracts drying up in mid 2012, I started missing payments on loan and mortgage. Went back to college to upskill using savings and jobseekers with springboard funding. JA recently ended. Since 2012, I have had made ad-hoc payments to outstanding loan, mostly keeping with agreed repayment arrangements but with quite a few missed payments. Outstanding personal loans are being handled by a Debt recovery agency. Mortgage arrears were recapitalised and have 15 months unbroken repayments. Outstanding property maintenance fees have been repackaged as a judgement order.
All the bad news aside, am hoping to get a decent job after graduation this May and start paying back personal loan and start towards paying property fees. During the downturn, I got married and am hoping to start a family over the next few years and move to a house, ( currently in small apartment )
I'd love to know the best way of repairing my credit to get a mortgage to move. Cost of house will be approx 340,000. Estimated combined earnings in 2 years will be 75000.
