Yes they can and will send notice to your 1st Charge Mortgage Lender.

It sounds like you signed a mortgage in favour of the second lender. If you are in default they have all the same rights as the first lender, except that if they repossess the house they have to use the proceeds to pay back the first lender before they can take money for themselves.

Bad news - if either lender is still owed money after they have repossessed and sold, you will still be liable for that amount.

You need to talk to both of them, keep a record and try and agree a repayment plan for the second loan. If you can show a sensible course of action it might help.
