Repossession Claims for Litigators - Enhance Your Knowledge

Introduction

It is impossible to ignore the recent hike in Bank of England interest rates which, fuelled by recent and ongoing political chaos, help to push up the cost of mortgages.

In recent weeks, major lenders including NatWest, Barclays, Halifax and Virgin Money have pulled deals and brought them back to the market at higher prices.

It is a difficult time for everybody with many families and businesses facing the realisation that they will not be able to maintain their mortgage payments and therefore face repossession claims as a result.

This live and interactive session is recommended for legal professionals in the banking litigation and debt recovery fields who wish to improve their knowledge of the repossession process. The course is designed to cover the process from start to finish, focussing on the current financial climate and how practitioners can make the most of the process to ensure the best outcome for their clients.

This course is most suitable for practitioners who already have at least a basic understanding and knowledge of both the repossession order process and whilst the course will include some reference to the basics, it will concentrate on more intricate matters found within the banking litigation procedure.
