On the basis that MABS had all of the detail, their advice is probably more meaningful. Have you a particular reason not to want to follow their advice? Try to stay calm and, tough as it may be, try to stop this issue from dominating your life and dragging you down. How much is the house worth? Are family in a position to help? Do you have any other assets? On the income side, is that €1,400 per month and what is your total joint income per month?

First thing is to just pay what you can on the mortgage. They have zero chance of forcing any sale. Stand firm and only talk to people by written letter or email. It might help if you could give us the current value of your house and what your total net income is per month. I think you are syaing that you both get the state pension of about 1k each per month and a further 1400 per month from a private one. Is that correct ?
