My husband and I had a moritorium for 9 months and now it is coming to an end. It literally cut my repayments in half and allowed us to reduce some of our other bills, it wasn't a hugh help but enough for us to reduce the size of our overdraft. As with other home owners we are still finding it difficult to manage paying the full amount of the mortgage, but because we have already had 9 moths moritorium, we are unable to have another one, according to our building society. We did out a budget plan, and tried to agree lower repayments with our other lenders, which some agreed to and others didn't, but as our biggest monthly repayment we are really struggling to pay the full amount on the mortgage. Our repayments are €1680 per month, but can only afford to repay €950 per month, as we are pushing ourselves further into debt with our overdraft, which at the moment sits at -€4650. The building society has refused our payment offer and doesn't seem to want to come up with any alteratives. We feel that we cannot do anything else to persaude them to help us out. They have been shown bank statements and utility bills so they know we can't afford it. We are at our wits end now and feel we have no option but to foreclose on our home. Is there any other information that could help us keep our home by repaying a minimum amount. We didn't go out and buy extravagant items during the tiger period but I found my self without a job when the recession started and as I have only regained employment recently, its hard to get back on track. Any advise is welcome.
