    Success - BoI agrees to reinstatement of tracker and to break fixed rate

    Hi TillyD - did you look at your original mortgage contract to see what the wording was on that? Or did you receive any correspondance from them last April telling you that you were one of the 2096 customers entitled to tracker rate ? It certainly seems very suspicious to me that they are...

    Success - BoI agrees to reinstatement of tracker and to break fixed rate

    Hi TillyD I would certainly enquire as to why they are now offering you a tracker rate -have a look at your original mortgage contracts etc. It certainly seems a bit fishy that they are giving you this option now when they are so allergic to trackers . If they did make an error I would...

    Hi Brendan-thanks for that -yes you got it exactly right in your summary. Best of luck to everyone else who's pursuing the same course- I know it was time consuming and stressful but it all paid off in the end. The bank have also agreed to refund me the difference between fixed and tracker...

    Bank of Ireland Another success! BoI reinstates another tracker from a fixed rate!

    Hi Swiggy, I feel your frustration but I think Brendan is right with his advice about not payying the break fee.

    Success - BoI agrees to reinstatement of tracker and to break fixed rate

    Hi all just to keep you updated on my situation, received a letter from the FSO thanking me for agreeing to enter mediation but they said the other party did not respond in the time frame alloted so they are obviously not interested in entering mediation so the FSO will now make a decision on my...

    Success - BoI agrees to reinstatement of tracker and to break fixed rate
