    We dont take out mortgages to gamble with. The Bank may have acted illegally with unfair clause you cannot blame us for trying to get it overturned as im sure you would if you was affected ?

    Wrong on both accounts. The clause is legal and fair. What makes the cause illegal? I think the extreme circumstances clause is completely justified when the lender borrowers money at a higher rate than it charges its borrowers and the bank is going bankrupt rapidly.

    Do you want the BOI to collapse and need to be bailed out by Irish and British taxpayers just so you can keep your ultra low rates?

    I'm starting to suspect that many of these landlords complaining have overstretched themselves in home buying and have very little equity to remortgage.

    I said it may be illegal thats why its being contested read Mail on Sunday artical.

    No I dont wont the bank to collapse, Bank states it has a strong UK market so I dont think it would collapse, but I would like to see residentials get off as im covered by the rent where do they get extra funding from ?

    Yes do have contract phone would,nt take insurance due to clauses especially the cover if you get phone stolen? suggest you read that & uve signed that and your as reckless as me

    You mean one solicitor Justin looking for tiny technicalities rather than having a strong argument.

    :rotfl:The UK banking system is in dire state hence 0.5% base rate, QE and funding for lending. Not to mention all the mergers and nationalisation of half of them.

    I don't take out phone insurance. I buy the phone and get a cheaper contract saving me money. ;)

    all the above is what is wrong with this forum that's why most people with serious issues with the B.O.I rate hike have left it.to many people having a laugh at others expense.

    I agree that it is wrong to laugh at others' expense.
    But at the same time I think that it is right that people who know about this sort of stuff make their points on here.
    It would be wrong of us to sit back and let the people affected talk only amongst themselves, all agreeing how bad this change is and that it must be illegal. And then from that standpoint pay out thousands in legal fees to then find out that people who weren't affected (e.g. the judge) didn't agree with them.
