Reclaiming MEAF

Hi

Has anyone had a mortgage with B&W in the last 3-4 years? I tried reclaiming the MEAF, but was told that they would not refund it and said it was a legitimate charge.
Anyone else had any success with them?

    I assume you mean -
    Mortgage Exit Administration Fee

    and not
    Midlands Ethnic Albanian Foundation

    as google stated when I typed in MEAF.

    Just rule of thumb! They will say this anyway. I assume you phoned up and was kind in voice?

    I believe there is a very old template on this website somewhere. People might direct you to this. Otherwise a standard complaint letter is suffice.

    Also type in mortgage exit fee and FSA in google.

    What is MEAF, and is it contagious? Any reason the lender should repay it?

    Exit fees are tricky, I am much more at home ethic Albanian foundations - a real font of knowledge.

    I take it you were happy with the T & Cs of your mortgage offer when you took out the mortgage? Why the bellyaching now? We all pay fees for many services and if we don't wish to pay then we don't have to accept the service. What is different to a mortgage?

    but was told that they would not refund it and said it was a legitimate charge.

    Which is the correct answer if its a Mortgage Exit Administration Fee

    It its Midlands Ethnic Albanian Foundation and the complaints are about black and white then there are lots of laws dealing with that.
