Apologies my first post was done via a phone call I can add more info + some detail is wrong.

House was bought with a 100% mortgage for £97,000. Its a joint mortgage with my ex partner, unfortunately shes done a runner so to speak.

I sold the house for £93,000 in 2010. The short fall to complete was £12,000. I borrowed £6000 from family and made the payment. I asked the bank to complete the sale and chase my ex for the £6000. They refused this option.

2 years later and its been reposessed (voluntarily) and sold for £67,000.

Is this legal? I have lots of other odd things regarding the mortgage but I would like the above addressing initially. This has been rolling on for years now with the royal bank of scotland. I have to say they are the worst company I have ever dealt with.

It's legal for them to sell it at the best price they can for a quick sale and mortgage companies often do this.

You are liable for the shortfall. Have you any other debts?

I suggest you speak to the CAB or an expert on here to have a detailed look at your finances and see what the solutions are.
