Hi,
I have a question regarding my tracker rate from PTSB.
On our letter of approval (Feb 2007) our special conditions state the following:
`on expiry of the fixed rate period, and where the applicant chooses the option of a tracker mortgage interest rate, the interest rate applicable to the loan will be the tracker mortgage rate appropriate to the balance outstanding on the loan at the date of expiry of the fixed rate period.
In absence of instructions from the applicant at the expiry of the fixed rate period, the interest rate for the loan will be the tracker mortgage rate applicable to the balance outstanding on the loan, at the date of expiry of the fixed rate period and as may be varied in accordance with variations to the European Central Bank refinancing rate'.
We had initially been offered a 2 yr new bus tracker rate of 4.49% (ECB +0.99%), this is detailed in an email from our broker. . However we chose the 2 yr fixed rate.
When our fixed rate ended we were offered a tracker of ECB +2.25% which we accepted.
Should we have been entitled to the original tracker of ECB +0.99%??
Apologies in advance if this has been asked before, I am just unsure due to the wording of the special conditions!
Thanks
