Our four step Mortgage Arrears Resolution Process
If you have been instructed to complete an SFS, we have a four step process known as the Mortgage Arrears Resolution Process (MARP) to work with our homeowners to resolve arrears. If you’d like more detail about the MARP process then see here.
Filling out your SFS
Next, you need to fill out your Standard Financial Statement (SFS). There’s a lot in it, but it is the only way to get a clear picture of your finances. If you prefer one of our people will help you fill out the SFS over the phone. You’ll also have to give us other documents such as bank statements and wage slips. The sooner you fill out the form, the quicker we can get to a solution. See more about SFS here.
Getting to the solution
Once we have your SFS and the documents we need, we will see what solution may be available to deal with your mortgage arrears. In most cases there will be a solution for you. For this to happen we need the form fully completed and any other documents we ask you for. That’s the only way we can come with a solution.
We agree a solution
In most cases there will be a solution for you. While every case is different some examples of solution are:
- Temporarily reduced payments - where the monthly payment amounts go down for a while
- Arrears added to total amount you owe -where the arrears amount is paid off over time
- Term extension - where the mortgage is paid off over a longer period
But by far the best and cheapest solution is to pay all your arrears. Whether you do that or we agree a solution, it means you have a plan and that’s always better than ignoring the situation.
That’s the overview. If you’d like more detail about the MARP then see here
