Yes, both accountant and solicitor. Not one of them were successful in renegotiating. I also contacted a debt management company who said they would neither waste my time or money.
I myself am at present trying to renegotiate but getting absolutely nowhere so I have let the mortgage go into arrears with a hope it might help my plight but as yet I have not received any verbal contact bar an automated letter telling me I am in arrears.
Before I asked for a third party to intervene I had been told over the phone by the bank that there is nothing they can do for anybody with an investment mortgage??
