Mortgage Shortfall Debt Claims have a Limitation period of 12 years but lenders can and will pursue after that time has expired. Legally they are still allowed to do so. The borrower or their advisor needs to know whether the debt is a statute barred debt in order to know how best to defend the Mortgage Shortfall Debt Claim. Mortgage interest on Mortgage Shortfall Debt Claims has a Limitation of 6 years.

Lenders and their solicitors will often limit facts in their mortgage shortfall debt claim to entice borrowers to make proposals to pay. That is done to elicit proposals. If the customer provides written proposals it will legally tie them directly to the debt claim.

Most of our investigations focus on that area. Often, it has been many years since the events of possession and then the property sale.

Lenders target individuals with existing UK mortgage shortfall debts continually. Does your Lender have new information about your circumstances? i.e. have you moved in with a partner who has a mortgaged property with equity?

Personal information from voting lists, Land Registry charge sheets and applications for new borrowings (i.e. Mobile phones) from your post code are always being 'trawled' by lenders seeking payment of shortfall debts. Any information found by the Lender which indicates that property or assets can be targeted for payment puts new partners or even family members at risk from legal claims against their assets.

If you are living in a mortgaged property with a new partner, family member or a friend - they may be at risk from your old mortgage shortfall debt an email to IBAS for assistance can help you quickly obtain practical and confidential assistance - it may also put your mind 'at rest'

UK House repossession or UK home repossessions are followed by property sales by the lenders. There may be a shortfall on the mortgage after sale, as repossession and 'forced' sales attract many seeking to buy 'distressed' homes at a large discount, from lenders or their agents.

A borrower forced into repossession remains liable under the Mortgage Deed for any mortgage shortfall debt and the mortgage deed allows the lender 12 years to obtain payment.

Lenders commence Mortgage Shortfall debt recovery once the property has been sold.

The lender knows exactly what remains to be paid on the mortgage they provided.

A negative balance on the mortgage remaining after the property sale becomes a 'mortgage shortfall'.

The lender should issue a mortgage completion statement which proves their position to the borrower.

The lender will at the same time request or demand payment for the Mortgage Shortfall Debt.

Lender's Mortgage Shortfall Demands for payment need to be very carefully considered

- otherwise the full debt may be claimed and then legally enforced by the lender.

Legal enforcement by the lender will add further costs to the debt being claimed.

A lender can add all recovery actions and fees to their claim.

Further legal fees and recovery actions will mean the borrower will be liable to pay more and at that time any other properties they own may also be claimed upon by the lender - or will be at risk from the lender's legal actions.

It is possible for a lender to obtain a debt judgment and apply for a charging order or order for sale on the same day.

Much of the bank/lender 'recovery' knowledge is gained from Bank/lender Internal Notes.

The Lender internal notes record their employees personal observations and details of the customer, their family and relatives, including assets and property and possible inheritance claims. Sometimes these also contain very personal and specific details. All are of value to the bank in seeking payment or repayment for a debt claim.
