Legal assistance with residual mortgage debt

Questioner

I have a residual debt mortgage together with my ex, my ex is the cause of this, he was going to take over the house and has not paid the mortgage since day 1, after the divorce he went into debt restructuring more than a year later after he let his company go bankrupt, now the bank has raised the full amount with the administrator, now 3 years later he is out and after a lot of nagging with his administrator I was told that only 1400 euros of the 26000 euros were paid off, we have been held jointly and severally liable by the bank, I was not even able to have my say because if the bank had informed me at the time, it would not have come to this because I moved back into our house a year after the divorce, because my ex had left the house and deregistered, I started paying the mortgage until it was sold. Can I sue the bank to get the rest forgiven?

Lawyer

I advise you to contact a lawyer who can advise and assist you in this matter. Whether there are possibilities in this story to hold the bank liable or another party, is not easy to answer. Cases against banks are often a complicated and lengthy battle in my experience. It will first have to be thoroughly investigated to get an answer to this.
