  • Mortgage Shortfall,*** Help Needed***

    I had my property in England repossessed aprox 8 years ago, I then moved to Scotland to make a new start, yesterday I received a letter from the building society saying there was a shortfall after the sale and that I need to contact them to discuss repayment plans and enclosed a form to fill in regarding my financial commitments , this is the only contact that has been made since the day I left the property 8 years ago, am I right in thinking that as they are a member of the CML that they can only enforce this debt within 6 years. Many Thanks for any advice as I am very worried about this

    It will depend on if the mortgage provider is a CML member.
    There is no law or regulation in the CML statement it is just an
    agreement made by the members.

    However I'm unsure what the Scottish Limitation is on Mortgages/short falls.

        Remind the BS of the CML agreement, although this applies I think to enforcement they may still be able to "ask " for payment.
