Abbey Mortgage Overpayments

Hi Guys,

I have a £73000 mortgage with Abbey that I want make overpayments on.

I contacted them and they said in order to do this I would need to get them to change the term on the mortgage toreflect what I wanted to pay but could not guarantee they could set payments to exactly what I wanted ?

Does this sound correct ? I was under the impresssion most people just added extra onto their DD each month.

Alex.
Mortgage:
July 2009 = £73000
Overpayments:
May 2010 - £251.00
Total = £251

    Interesting, when I phoned a few weeks ago they said just send in a cheque with the account number on it and as long as my overpayments don't go over the allowed amount per year all should be okay.

    I have yet to manage to send anything though :o so not much help sorry, but thought I would bump this for you.

    Yes,I could do that but I wanted an automatic payment each month rather than have to send a cheque off every time I wanted to pay.

    Thanks for the bump. :j
