removal of name on mortgage

Anyone had the other parties name removed from mortgage, ex not contributed to mg 18 month and have just signed a Consent Order agreeing terms.

Only thing is mg company are being arsy even though im paying and have done for the life of mg can you pay dooooooooooohave always paid and he told you he wont pay a penny what a bunch of arseholes.

Seemed happy with agreement but mg comany being unhelpful. Ideas anyone.Feeling more stressed than fdh hes mam no mam 3 bags full mam.

Usually it's a good idea to sound out lenders before signing a consent order. What are the terms? Often they stipulate you will endeavour to remove the other party from the mortgage.

Fiona's right.

When you file a consent order you have to send in a "Statement of Information" on financial facts in outline. On the back of the form you have to say whether the mge lender have/not objected to the proposed transfer of interest in the house.

The problem with a mge is that it's a contract. The lender on the one hand, you two on the other. The basis is that you are both "jointly and severally" liable to pay it. As a lender, you have two possible targets to get your money. Why would you willingly give up one of those targets? You see the problem from their PoV, suddenly it's not quite so unreasonable.

The thing to do is to convince them that the Ex isn't necessary, or even remge with just yourself as sole borrower perhaps.

But as Fiona says, if all else fails, you just have to "make best endeavours" to get the ex off the mge hook, best you can do.

Thanks for that. Have gottem other party to write to mg company and say he moved out 18 months ago and has not and does not intend to pay 1 penny.May help.

Thing is he seems to think he was never liable for the mg or joint debt cause he walked away leaving me to deal with the whole caboodle.

He has told mg company he wont pay previously so they know his game am making my own mg application but my credit rating hey what a suprise is not fab but plent of people willing to help.
