    EBS What does an EBS "Variable Base Rate" mortgage mean?

    I received redress and compensation from EBS based upon a tracker application that stated entitlement to a tracker rate, ''for the life of the loan''. The loan offer document that accompanied the tracker application had ''Variable Base Rate'' as the rate type. For your information.

    Increase Tax Free Lump Sum-Public Service Retirement.

    So there are two limitations to avcs. The revenue limit of 200k before being taxed and the 1.5 times the final salary cap? I know many in the public sector who have been advised (cornmarket) to still buy avcs despite having the capacity to draw a full 30 year fast accrual pension. (Defence...

    Ulster Bank fined €34m over trackers

    I second that. Many people here think losing your home was your own fault and you're not entitled to substantial redress. Unfortunately the EBS tracker redress and appeals system did not find in my favour for a lost home. But hey, that's what courts are for. Congrats on the compensation deanpark.

    EBS appeal success - got three times the level of compensation

    Congrats on your appeal. Well deserved I have started the appeals process with EBS. Did you get an oral hearing and if so how did that go? Our appeal centres on whether the bank overcharge was causal in the home being sold. The bank state, in response to our appeal, they believe our reduced...

    EBS What does an EBS "Variable Base Rate" mortgage mean?

    Hi My loan offer states my loan type was a Variable Base Rate. 2006. I was not given a choice to tick a variable or fixed rate at the time. What I did sign was a tracker application which the bank failed to administer resulting in us starting on a VBR and magically converting to an...

    Damaged Credit Rating

    I sold a mortgaged property a number of years ago as I could not afford the repayments. A small number of arrears accrued on the account prior to the sale. I was left with a large residual debt which I also could not pay. Arrears grew rapidly on the remaining debt. During the time I was in the...

    Western World Debt - How much more can it be expanded before it needs a large correction

    I believe it's an inevitability that a synchronised default is on the horizon, although I cant see western central bankers allowing a currency crises to unfold. The synchronisation of a managed default could only be brought about at a time of war or crises such as Covid 19. Who loses in all...

    KBC tells Central Bank it's time to move on from their tracker focus

    An alternative view. Maybe he is right, we all need to move on. The Central Bank should put a time limit on banks to mop up this mess. Any Bank that fails to comply should have debilitating penalties imposed.

    How did people actually "lose" their tracker mortgages?

    The bank stated after examination that we were on a SVR from drawdown but we were not. They switched us to a SVR in 2008. Our payment records prove this. My point is we did nothing and ended up being transferred onto an SVR with no prior agreement or documentation to instruct the bank to do so.
