Behind on Mortgage Payments? You Still Have Options

Falling behind on your home loan can be frightening especially when you receive default notices or threats of repossession from your bank or lender. But you don’t lose your home the moment you miss a repayment. Australian law gives you the chance to request hardship variations, negotiate repayment arrangements, or apply to court to stop repossession if you act early. Once the lender has a court order for possession, it becomes much harder to reverse. Law Tram connects you with lawyers who can explain your rights, help you negotiate with your lender, and take urgent action to protect your home.

What Others Are Saying

Law Tram User

I was three months behind on my loan and scared I’d lose the house. The lawyer helped me apply for a hardship variation and stop the lender from taking action.

Law Tram User

My lender refused to negotiate until I got legal help. Law Tram connected me with someone who handled it professionally and quickly.

Law Tram User

We needed time to sell the house ourselves. The lawyer helped us stop the repossession long enough to get a fair price.
