Repossession consequences

Property repossession seriously damages your credit rating. Every time you apply for a mortgage, loan, credit card or even a store card the your creditworthiness  is assessed before  your application is accepted.
Credit checks in the UK are made mainly with two credit agencies - Experian and Equifax. Between them they hold your entire credit history on file.

They reveal what loans you have now or have held in the past, and how efficient you were at repaying those loans. Your history is credit scored. The loan companies use the score when assessing any loan applications that you make.

A County Court Judgement (CCJ) ordering a property repossession has a huge negative impact on your credit score. Even if you manage to stop the mortgage repossession before it gets to a court hearing.
The fact that you have had mortgage arrears with your home loan company will be recorded on your file.
Together, CCJs and arrears make it very difficult for you to obtain credit in the future for a period of about 6 years.

The social consequences
This study by the Joseph Roundtree organisation
 explored the  impact of repossession on households with dependent children.
It found, not surprisingly, that the experience can have distressing and enduring social, psychological and health consequences for both parents and their children.
