Eventually, they can even start a process that ends with repossession or foreclosure.


In our current fiscal landscape this is becoming an all-too familiar situation for many families. In fact, around 13 homeowners a week across Australia are facing repossession of their properties and the latest figures show that number is on track to double from previous years.
