The Pack gives step-by-step advice to households who fear that they may not be able to keep up their monthly mortgage payments, and tells people how to avoid making their situation worse. It can be downloaded here.
This new Conservative initiative comes as the latest official Government statistics show a large increase in mortgage repossession orders being made by the courts - with 313 being issued across the country every single day. In Worcester Court area 315 orders - almost 1 a day - were made in 2008, an increase of 18% on the year before.
Harriett Baldwin said:
"As the recession bites and the number of repossessions soar, there are thousands of people across Worcestershire who are worried about paying their mortgage. I hope this advice pack will provide them with some practical help and support."
