The clients estranged husband experienced personal relationship problems over a period of time and this culminated in the matrimonial home being repossessed by the Building Society in Oct 2012.

There was a shortfall on the mortgage of £18,816.97 which exacerbated her financial position. Her husband was jointly and severally liable for this shortfall but he is not in a financial position to make an offer to the
Building Society.

Her finances have spiralled out of control so she has been unable to make full contractual payments to all known creditors. The IVA has allowed C G-Y to control her finances and make them more managegable.
