Repayment amount
What was the type of rate
Interest rate percentage
Fixed when
Why
Broke out when
Penalty or not
Why not
Advise from bank or who
Did bank phone you
Was a letter unsolicited
Etc

Just want to get a better handle on what exactly happened. Thanks

And congratulations, I forgot that, must be such a relief to you. This will no doubt change your life, can you tell us about that. What it means to you.

Original 325k
Fixed for 2 years (until Aug 09)
Broke out Jan 09, no breakout fee charged, put on variable, no option of tracker given.
Don't remember 1st fixed rate, think around 5%.
Last variable rate has been 4.5%, we have now been put on tracker at 1.15%. We have been overpaying for just about 6 years.

Sorry missed the last bit of your question.
I independently complained to bank in 2012 about not being advised of consequences of breaking out etc and they rejected my complaint. I didn't take it to Ombudsman at the time. When I heard about central bank enforcement I wrote to them again and told them to look at my complaint again and that their response to my original complaint was incorrect. However, I don't think this is as a result of Me complaining, I think it's just because I fell within the scope of the investigation. Hope this makes sense.
 
Hi Katina can you go back again please if you don't mind. Not today if you are busy etc

Dates of original mortgage ( roughly is fine)

Why did you fix.

Sorry if this is bothering you, just need to understand the full order of things to help me try and figure out what the bank was at, how they did it, and that it was deliberate.

If you post more details I'll try and make it more tabular tomorrow as I'm not on a proper machine right now.
 
Hi Katina

Can I ask a quick question, did your original contract have the ECB rate stated on it?

Congratulations too :)

Hi, thanks. Yes it did have the rate outlined it would revert to when fixed period expired.
