Difficulty in paying the mortgage

This page gives you advice and guidance should you experience difficulties in paying your mortgage.

If you are having difficulty in paying your mortgage you need to take action urgently.  Failing to take action will only make the problem worse and ultimately you will end up losing your home.

Below are links giving advice of how to tackle this problem.

The links above give a number of options and actions available to homeowners who find difficulty in paying their mortgage.  In Wigan since the start of the economic downturn partners have been working together to minimise the impact on homeowners.  Our Housing Options Advice Service and our local Citizens Advice Bureau have played a key role in helping households remain in their homes. 

The key message is - if you are having difficulty or you think you are going to have difficulties in paying your mortgage or rent - get advice as soon as possible.
