I am in dispute with the Brit b s.
They never ever told me about daily interest charges and kept me on annual interest
they also told me over the phone and in the local branch, that paying double+ money would not bring down my mortgage arrears
i don't know where to start appealing for money lost in interest because of their further lies and witholding of information.
They told me that at best I would have £12,000 lump sum and at worst I would clear my mortgage, unfortunately because I have contested against the misselling - they have already given me a couple of thousand pounds in the past, but they have continued to not allow me full information in order to clear the arrears quicker - I am out of pocket aprox £4,000because of this. I can never get hold of anyone in this country to talk about my endowment (prudential) as I would like to know what it would cost to cash in the endownment. I have been told there is no penalty for cashing in policy over phone, from someone in another country who could not give me figures including current interest rate I was paying - but refused to put something in writing.

Confusing, but if you want to cash in your prudential endowment, then contact them directly, and see what payment you would receive. Presumably this will be used to reduce the mortgage if you are interest only. I cannot see how you can cash in over the phone, and I would be wary of that. who did you ring?0

No I have suffered from depression and have allowed people to tell me what they like because I TRUSTED them.
I am a single woman who unfortunately is not versed in spin and trusts professionals to tell her the truth,
Now I have a good job with cash to spare, after working 7 years in a voluntary capacity and studying for level 7 exams, MA's and other Post Grad qualifications and I can run my own business as well as work full time as a professional in education and I want to sort these liars out once and for all - they would have left me homeless at the end of the endownment which is coming up in 2013 (my ex and I took out a short mortgage) and I want to remove what little profit they can make out of it while I can and look after ME. i WOULD PAY Martin Lewis if he could contact me - he is the best at exposing these cheats and liars - yes cheats bcause they have a power oof knowledge over people and do not always give the information unless the 'victim' client knows what to ask for - only THIS YEAR was I given daily interest rate on my mortgage because I saw it on this website and requested it - before this Autumn I had been getting annual interest rate on my endownment so in fact was throwing lots of money away and they knew it but I didn't - sorry to be such a killjoy but yes, I did not know the financial score - otherwise I would be advising you lot out there and not asking for info. Sorry to say it isnt spam - now can someone please help? Martin if you can help me recover the missing £4,000 I have lost, please contact me - and save me0 -
It is Building Society and is definitely not bull - it is negligence and lying. Martin if you could act for me - please do so - I want to remove as much profit from these guys as I can. I have trusted these people when I have suffered from depression. They have had power of information and knowledge and definitely do NOT share it for the interests of 'clients' unless the client knows what to ask for. I only found out about daily interest this autumn, looking at your website and apparently it has been 'on offer' to me since 2004. I have remained on annual interest rate all this time and everytime I saw someone or rang someone up at branch or HQ I have asked if I could pay off quicker and was told each time it would not make any difference to balance .... they are the ones giving the 'bull' as you say. I have worked in a voluntary capacity for 7 years, studying for MA's and Post grad qualifications and now have a decent wage and can work in my own business too. Please Martin could you help me sort this BS out and help me get compensation - I will gladly go on TV to expose them.0
