Writs of summons issued

Post by Zari786 »

Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum . Me and my husband bought an off plan property 5 years ago . The biggest mistake of our life . We have had so many problems and it was a Swiss franc mortgage which was clearly mis sold to us by the agents . We were not told the risk and they had sorted someone out to act as our power of attorney . When we think back , I can't believe how stupid of us to trust everything they did for us blindly . Anyway to cut the story short we were issued the writs of summons in Feb . To be honest we are in a very weak position financially and my husband and I decided if they do pass the judgment to uk then the only option we have is bankruptcy as we don't have any assets . Now it's been 7 months since the writs but we have not heard anything from the bank but I am thinking we should fight for it as a lot of things were done wrong and bankruptcy will affect my job as I work in a bank but we don't have a huge amount of money to join the high gate hill solicitors . I need some advise . Firstly is it too late to challenge as the cyprus court might have made a judgement .

Hi Zari786 and welcome to the forum.

I'm sure if your case had been heard by a court, you would have received a notice of the judgement. I'm afraid that ignoring writs in the hope they will go away is not an option - I published an article by Judicare (one of the other firms helping those with Swiss Franc mortgages) - see Do not ignore Cypriot bank writs for loan non-payment.

I will send you an email of all the other groups I know of and their contact details. There are many claims of mis-selling and while some of the groups are fighting the banks in court, others are negotiating to reset their mortgages in Euros and reduce the balance and monthly repayments.
