Old Charging orders

[Natt1982]

Hi everyone.
I'm in a bit of a crisis right now. I have 2 charging orders from hfc bank that was done through restons solicitors. Im right near the end of selling my house and we didnt know that charging orders basically last forever as we thought it was a ccj and as it was 15yrs ago we didnt include this during our mortgage application. Now i was very young at the time and bought this house we're selling when I was 18yrs old and we made extremely stupid choices had no idea what we were doing and long story short my husband had 2 charging orders issued. We couldn't sell the house at the time as there wasn't enough equity in the house to cover them. I think one was turned from an original debt of £3000 to £16,000 which was, i thought, a bit extreme and one is for just under £4000. So we've waited to sell the house so we could build up the equity enough to cover them and move on. We didn't know that we couldn't move until we paid them off until a couple of weeks ago. So now the problem is it was hfc bank. We have no idea who we contact about this as they went bust. I think hsbc took over but we have no details of accounts or anything. I've tried to find a way to contact them but as I don't have an account with them I'm finding it hard to do. And the same goes for restons. I don't have an account. Now we waited all that time to be able to cover those amounts. I had no clue that they'd accrue interest as well. Now I'm panicking about finding out what they're gonna say I have to pay. But I can't find a way to contact them. Does anyone know an email address or who I should be even contacting about them in the first place.?

First of all, can you please post the exact wording of the entries on the Land Registry title document that relate to each charging order. We need to understand those exact terms to be ale to advise.

Hi
Speak to your conveyancing solicitor about the wording of the restriction on the deeds
The wording on some older restrictions is weak and a couple of forum users have said their sale still went through even though there was a charging order when the solicitor complied with the restriction on the day of the sale

[atticus]

We can comment on the wording once we see it!

Also I can't find the £16000 final order letter at all but I do have the £4000. If there's only intrim orders on the land registry where's the final charge on it cosbits not showing up? I don't get it. Are they just gone?? I'm so confused!!!!

Those are form K restrictions. All that needs to be done to register a transfer of ownership on sale is for the stated person to be given written notification -see the words I have put in bold text. Letters can be sent to the companies stated at the addresses given.

[Natt1982]

So they just send a letter. I thought I couldn't sell the house without making a payment. Is that not the case?

[atticus]

In other words, you can be reassured that your house sale and purchase can proceed. No need to panic.

No - all that needs to be done is to send letters.

If the CCJ awards against your husband were for debts regulated under the CCA 1974 the creditor may not be entitled to add interest after the CCJ
Please read the fact sheet at http://www.nationaldebtline.org/fact...st-on-a-ccj-ew
Your husband should try to find or ask the bank for a copy of the credit agreement and see if it mentions interest will be added until full settlement is made
