Mortgage Exit Fees successes and failures

I called the Alliance & Leicester after reading the e-mail on this website and received a cheque for £210 within a week. Mortgage with A&L finished in 2005. Very pleased!! Thanks!!

I just sent off two rapid letters after Martin's e-mail about the song. Immediate replys from both Mortgage holders.
Chelsea telling me that although they could have charged a fee of £50 - they actually made NO charge.
Northern Rock telling me that they did over charge me £135 and would refund that but no interest - as it was only three months ago I felt that was fair.
Thank you Martin - a little extra for Christmas!

:T :beer: After reading about the Meaf on hear, I phoned the Halifax and within 5 days have a cheque for £100!!

I have also sent a letter to Northern Rock and am awaiting a reply! I am hopeful though!!

Thanks MSE!!:D

Has anyone had a refund from the Zurich, an elderly lady I know was asking me about these refunds (MEAF) she,s a bit wary about calling them and I have,nt seen this company mentioned in any refunding posts , so possibly she was not overcharged . cheers.

Hi

Rang Northern Rock on the Friday and was told where to write, which I did that day. Received a reply on the following Tuesday with an agreement to repay once they had received a signed form which was sent the same day. Refund received on Friday. One week from enquiry to receipt of refund.

Wow!!! Shame they're in such trouble.

Well it was as easy as it says in the article.

I called C&G using the number off this site. I spoke to them, they confirmed I had overpaid the fee by £90 but I was entitled to interest at 1% above BofE base rate and they gave me an extra £20.61 (£110.61 in total) not bad i think and just before christmas. :j

Thanks Martin

Another success...

Called C&G and had it confirmed we had been overcharged £50 and would get £50 + £15 interest, then called Abbey and was advised it does appear we were overcharged £126, just have to complete a claims form and return it.

I'm really chuffed, 2 phone calls and I'm £190 better off.

Thank you Martin !

Thanks Martin

Sent off the letter to NatWest/RBS and got a reply within a week saying that they will re-credit my account with £140.

I am chuffed to bits!

I wasn't going to bother with this as my redemption was quite a while ago but then thought, well, why not other people seem to be getting money back. So I sent off a suitably re-worded copy of the template letter to Portman Building Society (now Nationwide) and what a result! When I took my mortgage out their exit fee was £92.50 they charged me £175.00 so they have now agreed to refund me £82.50. No interest mind you as it's not their policy but hey something's better than nothing now I have a little extra cash for Christmas, I'm just waiting for the cheque. Thanks Martin for making this possible. :j

Thanks Martin.

I read your article three weeks ago and fired off a letter to Yorkshire BS right away. I had paid them £199 last year. Today I got a cheque for £125.50.
Writing that letter was the best-paid 15 minutes work I've ever done.
Thanks again and keep up the good work.
