Action we may take

To recover the leasehold charges, further action can include, but is not limited to:

  • debt collection agency – the debt will be referred to a debt collection agency to recover money from you
  • county court judgement – this will severely affect your credit rating and may affect your ability to get loans, including mortgages, credit cards, store cards and increases in credit limits (further costs will be incurred)
  • charging order – this prevents you from selling assets such as property, investments or land without paying what is owed
  • an application to your mortgage lender
