    Is it worth paying PRSI for pension benefit??

    Thanks for that, My main concern was losing previous years benefit, as I'm onlyu 34 im sure missing one year won't make much of a difference (every penny counts this year!) To others on PAYE, alot of self employed people incur an awful lot of expenses and when you add it up at the end of...

    friend in mortgage difficulty 2nd applicant

    In my experience, yes the deeds will have to hold both names. It may not be in the sister's interest to have her name on a loan and not have any interest in the property as she is equally responsible for payments....

    Interest only affect ability to get credit?

    Thanks for that I supposed the only downside is telling them about our financial situation but they are going to be sticky about proof of income going forward anyway I suppose (for future loans)

    Interest only affect ability to get credit?

    Hi I am wondering if you decide to apply for interest only for a period (due to one partner out of work) would this go against you if you tried to re-mortgage down the line? 1. with the existing mortgage provider 2. with other banks as your repayments would appear lower on your credit...

    Should we fix mortgage interest rate now?

    I'm curious as to why KBC didn't offer us the SVR given the current climate? Maybe it was in our contract to revert to tracker after 3 yr fixed term at the beginning. Are saying they can apply new terms if we decide to fix now? i.e. reverts to SVR?

    Should we fix mortgage interest rate now?

    Following the news item today about PTSB rumoured to be thinking of making a move upwards on their interest rate should we be fixing now? Surely with reductions during 09 they can only go up in 2010? I'm with KBC and their rates per their website are: 1 year fixed 2.40% APR 3.19% 2 year fixed...

    Can I move a fixed rate loan to interest only?

    Just looking for a bit of advice as we are thinking of requesting a move to interest only for a year to get us out of a hole; If you are on a fixed rate do the usual penalties apply? Would this appear on credit record? (although other lenders may cop on to this if payments reduce anyway) Is...

    KBC -Taking a 2month repayment break

    KBC don't do payment holidays, I checked with them before. You could move to interest only but not sure if they'd do this for one month and what complications there would be in terms of moving back to normal payment (proof of income etc.)
