For people facing shortfall claims...
The Litigation Handbook, Anthony Reeves, Alan Matthews
Lenders can't sue you as easily as they pretend. They don't tell you about "defenses", "counterclaims" and the thing they really hate: "discovery". But this book does. It's also slim and well-written. We recommend it
A Straightforward Guide to Bankruptcy, Insolvency and the Law, David Marsh
We haven't read this but a couple of readers say it is good.
For people with mortgages...
The Mortgage Bible, Monty Burn
Lenders were so angry when "insider" Monty Burn wrote this guide to lender rip offs (and how to avoid them) that they, er, parted company. What better recommendation do you need?
Defending Possession Proceedings, Jan Luba, Nic Madge, Derek McConnell
Don't be put off by the jacket description that implies this is a book about tenant law. It covers the law relating to mortgage possession too. Recommended by housing advice and debt counsellors. Published by the Legal Action Group.
Slash Your Mortgage, Robin Banks
Shows you how lenders use mortgages to favour themselves. Then shows you how to use your mortgage to favour yourself instead. This is what we are on about in the Australian Rules section. It also includes ripoffs that we didn't know - and how to avoid them. If you have a mortgage, do yourself a favour: buy it.
Money-saving Mortgages, Tony Cornell
How to cut the amount you really pay and how to choose a better mortgage lender.
How to Get a Mortgage in 24 Hours, James Lumley
How to get a mortgage and how to negotiate better terms. Recommended by a reader.
Secually Transmitted Debt, Belinda Fehlberg
Study of the practical and legal issues surrounding spouse's liability for their partner's debt. Recommended by author.
