I’m getting divorced, my husband became violent and I’ve had to call the police on a number of occassions. He used to earn a lot of money so we bought a house for £140k, with a £100k deposit so we needed to borrow £40k which we took over 2 years. I do not work and he does not give me any money to look after our 3 year old daughter. I took a mortgage break in September which ends at the end of this month. The payment due is £3700, which I won’t be able to pay. I have phoned the mortgage company and told them all of this, and to ask if I could have an interest only mortgage. But they said that this could only be done if my husband rings up to agree to this. He won’t do this because he wants me to loose my home so that he can get his deposit back. I am just very worried now what the consequences of going into mortgage arrears are?
