Tracker mortgage battles

I can't think of any other realm of business that blames the competition's price increase for increasing its own price.
In any other industry this would called a cartel. It's just a profit generating exercise
Fair point but, if your competitors increase their margins on tracker products, you will get many times more applicants. Lloyds TSB have to increase their rates to ensure a sensible spread between products or remove the tracker option altogether.

All major lenders have put up the tracker mortgage rates. So much for cheap mortgage. damn! I was planning to get a mortgage but it looks like I would have to wait now.
No you put.
All lenders, is that not a troll statement? looks like one lender because of high demand.
Also you are not after a mortgage, I did try to point you to firstdirect though they do some good rates.;)
If you are trying to prove your not a troll at least don't post a link to the statement you made!
PS the second quote you made from me was in relation to you taking glee in the share prices falling.
