Hi there and welcome to the forum

I am slightly confused by your post but I will have a go.

Secured loans are included within your bankruptcy to the extent of any shortfall they may have comparing the loan amount to the asset which is secured against that loan.

If you are unable to keep up with the mortgage or secured loan payments, you will run the risk of possession proceedings which could ultimately result in the property being sold by the lender(s) and you having to find alternative accomodation.

If this does not answer your point, could you be a little more specific please.

I'm sorry but I really don't understand what you are trying to ask. It might be better phoning your IP to ask the questions.
