How can Santander repossess this house

[Harryburgundy]

I may be simplifying the situation, but if the mortgage doesn't get paid, the people that lent them the money can sell the house to pay off the remaining debt.

As this, someone still has to pay

In principle I agree...but Santander are in part culpable that the debt has risen so much. Probably better not go into too many details but its a classic case of corporate 'washing of hands' of all responsibility when something goes pear-shaped.

Yes, someone has to pay....looks like it will be the innocent party again.

Legal advice is the only option here. There is a fraud there, a solicitor may recommend Police involvement but that won't really help your friend although it may delay any repossession.

Not a good situation, I know someone in similar circumstances.
