Support for mortgage interest cuts leave homeowners facing hardship

February 28, 2012 – 3:53 pm

Cuts to the help available to homeowners struggling with mortgage repayments mean some borrowers are experiencing hardship and face losing their properties, Citizens Advice has warned.

The charity said a third of homeowners seeking debt advice because of changes to the support for mortgage interest (SMI) benefit were facing repossession action by their lenders. SMI is a means-tested benefit for those unable to pay their mortgage because they are out of work.

Debt settlement, debt relief companies as they are more commonly known, are by and large for profit companies. Even the ones who refer to themselves as non-profits build in fees somewhere to cover expenses. There are no free rides in life and debt settlement isn’t one either. Fees differ for every debt settlement company because it depends on the services they perform.

While there is no standardized flat fee for debt settlement, you can ask for a debt relief company to estimate what your fees will be based on the amount of debt you place into a program.
