What is your preferred realistic outcome?
I want to get out of this debt trap and vicious circle involved ...would ike to get on with my life as last 3 years and have been living hand to mouth with no life , and cannot contiune any longer. Would like to study a post grad part-time and start saving for my future.
Just want now to get on with my life and move on. If involves living in town where new job is situated or within commutable distance would be better.

House is a good location, close to town, schools and shops. 4 bed semi-detached . Good professional neighbours all except for one. Relocated from nearby city is widow of criminal and her family and extended family visit at weekend . Result impacts vaue and increases diffciulty to sell.
Meetig minimum payments in credit cards ..unable to refinance them due bad credit rating now due to mortage missed payments (5) , reduced monthly payments.
 
Monthly Repayments:
Credit Union €570
Credit Cards total : Min Payments €460
Family Loan €150
Room Rental €360
Mortgage €915 plus €79
 
looks like you are caught for the full mortgage.. suggest phone a GOOD debt management company who will understand the new Personal Insolvency Procedures.. I suggest Frost Debt Management for advice as I know 4 people they helped in a professional manner.
 
Update:
Last 6 months renegotiating unsecured debt.
Credit union now 300 a month reviewed every 3 months
Avant card 66 a month
Ulster bank credit card 88 a month review after 6 months
Aib credit card 60 a month review after 3 months

Submitted another SFS to PTSB regarding mortgage. With assistance from financial advisor.
Was paying last 3 months interest plus capital , approx 400 a month , prior to this full amounts for 9 months but was using credit cards to pay bills while trying to get ex to co-operate, needless to say could not keep this up long term. Why hit financial brick wall 4 months back.

So PTSB have come back with an offer :
For 6 months pay 923 a month , then revert to 891.
Arrears after 6 months capitalised added to balance.
Not a great offer but have can survive just about with it at current interest rates

Now the problem ..they want ex to sign form ... We cannot get her to co-operate !!!
My solicitor has tried to her solicitor to sign arrears capitalise form, interest only for 6 months , complete FRS statements etc etc ..no joy . Last letter spelled all this out. Explained all this to PTSB and my income was always paying mortgage until drop in salary from 2010 to 2012 . Now after working hard have got salary up to 2009 levels before this arrears problem started. Currently can pay mortgage even though below desired income levels for PTSB for mortgage.
There is no way she will sign these forms.... Seem to be repeating what I tried to do in 2012.
Prob is PTSB say 30 days to respond or repossession starts ... Or other restructuring arrangements ..letter does not say what.
Will with financial advisor to get this across to PTSB but they seem to be ignoring it.

I have been fully responsible on loans etc and this is crazy that even though doing everything by the book getting nowhere on mortgage .
We asked PTSB to consider that ex is non-cooperative and try to view her as such and work with me ..based on this they seem to be just ignoring it .
Just reckon they want 2 people on mortgage...
Anyway will keep ploughing on..
