    No mortage or rent to pay - guess that makes me very lucky but would still have liked some option to enter :(

    Isn't a car, holiday and £25,000 incentive enough?

    I thought this was like the one a few weeks ago - all or nothing?

    The T & Cs say:

    if the winner’s mortgage or rental arrangements are not clearly identifiable from a mortgage agreement or tenancy agreement, then the Promoter shall decide in its sole discretion whether an amount is to be paid, and if applicable, the amount to be paid to the winner based on any other evidence of mortgage or rent payments which can be given by the winner.

    Looks to me that if you can't prove you have a mortgage or rent agreement, they will decide whether to pay anything or not, not that you can't enter if you haven't got either.

    Yes, I went back to reread T&Cs and I think you are probably right. I have emailed them to check.

    Thanks for reply:)

    Thank you for your email regarding the This Morning competition.

    As a broadcaster ITV ensures that the competitions we offer our viewers on our This Morning programme are varied and appeal to our diverse audience.

    The competition you have mentioned was specifically created for those of our viewers who need help paying off their mortgage or to pay their rent. For this reason those eligible to win had to have an existing mortgage or be paying rent as stated clearly in our terms and conditions, please see below…

    http://www.itv.com/termsandconditions/competitionsandvotes/thismorningbigupyourlifecompetition/default.html

    “Entrants must have an existing mortgage in accordance with a valid written mortgage agreement in respect of their main residence located in the United Kingdom or be paying rent in accordance with a valid written tenancy agreement in respect of a property located in the United Kingdom, and have made all payments due at the time of entering the competition.”

    As a company we would not advise you to enter a competition which has a prize that you do not comply for.

    I'm still confused...surely you could still be eligible for all the other stuff...car, holiday and the cash....I'd be very, very happy with that part of the prize ( I wish) and have to decline the mortgage/rent part of it.......I've entered and I'll let you know what happens if I get the call...;)
