ReplyThe Homeowner Mortgage Support Scheme
The Homeowner Mortgage Support Scheme(HMS)
Today (Tuesday 21st April 2009) sees the launch of a new government backed initiative that is intended to provide greater assurance to homeowners that they will be able to remain in their homes if they suffer a temporary fall in income but are expected to recover at a later date.
What is the HMS?
The new scheme will give homeowners who are experiencing financial problems sufficient time to find new employment or recover income, without the added concern and stress of potentially losing their home in the interim. The scheme will allow lenders to reduce a borrower’s current monthly mortgage payments, with the deferred payments rolled up, added to the principle, and paid at a later date when the borrower’s financial circumstances have improved.
For the official Press Release by the government, please click here to view the (PDF).
How do I find out more?
The scheme is voluntary and subject to eligibility criteria to ensure that there is proper risk sharing between government, lenders and borrowers and the scheme is sustainable for those that participate. You will need to have received formal money advice from a money advice provider, such as Payplan, for your application to be considered.Please click the link to be directed to either the CLG or Direct Gov website for eligibility criteria and details on how to apply.

Mortgage Rescue Scheme (MRS)
If you are having difficulty making your mortgage repayments and at risk of becoming homeless you could get help to stay in your home. You’ll need to meet the eligibility criteria to get help from the Mortgage Rescue scheme. The Mortgage Rescue scheme won’t help people in ‘negative equity’, which is when the amount owed on your mortgage is more than the value of your home.
What is the MRS?
Depending on your circumstances, and providing you meet the eligibility criteria, the scheme may help you either with a ‘shared equity loan’ or through a ‘Government mortgage to rent’. It is available in England only (separate schemes are under developments for clients in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland).
How do I find out more?
You can be referred for help through the Mortgage Rescue scheme by advice agencies (such as Payplan), courts or lenders. You can also contact your local council for advice. Please click the link to be directed to either the CLG or Direct Gov website for eligibility criteria and details on how to apply.

ReplyI have sought advice and am considering taking out a debt management plan to reduce my outgoings on my credit cards and loan. Whilst I know my credit rating will be affected I am concerned my husbands credit rating will also be affected as he is at the same address and has a shared morgage with me. However all of the credit cards and loans in the plan are only in my name. My husband is also concerned if he needs to fit in high security checks this may affect whether he can visit a site due to my debt plan being in place as he is financially relate to me. Also if he wants to take out credit in the future will he need to declare my debt plan and therefore will this affect his credit or ability to get further credit. His rating is good at present so he does not want to be affected in any way.What guarantees do you have with this.
ReplyHi Jacky, thank you for your comment. You or your husband do not need to worry as the debts are all in your name meaning that they affect you and only you. They would never affect you husband when he is applying for further credit or wouldn’t affect him needing to pass security checks. If doesn’t affect your credit rating, but it would definately not affect his.
I hope this has helped you make your decision, if you have any other queries, please do not hesitate to email me lizzy.snow@payplan.com
