When a repossession is ordered, it is practically the end of the line. The majority of houses that have been repossessed have been handed over voluntarily. I hear comments and stories about how some houses have been repossessed following court orders. Further work needs to be done in terms of proper, fair and courteous treatment of clients by lending institutions. There is a solution to all of this. It is not in anyone's interest that engagement would not take place. I understand that people feel fear and loathing when required to answer letters from their lending institutions but the position will only become worse if they do not deal with the issue.
