    The person at the branch did not want to help because they will not earn any commision from your case and its the same amount of work usually.

    The branch staff are salaried - no commission paid.

    However that does not change the advice already given. Abbey require you to reduce the balance to 95% of the property value before they will consider removing your name. So unless the customer is prepared to do this - what can the staff do?

    I am aware that the op thought that the staff were not being helpful, but if they were not given the answer they wanted - is this 'not being helpful' or just not the answer they want to hear ?
