    Post the following info on your endowments:

    Providers
    Guaranteed sum assured
    Declared bonuses
    Surrender value
    Monthly premium
    Maturity date
    Maturity forecasts

    Likely new interest rate on mortgage

    It may be best for you to surrender one or both endowments and use the money to pay off your overdraft and reduce the mortgage amount, also using the endowment premiums to help pay the mortgage.

    You could consider a new repayment mortgage, or another interest only one, and then overpay by the amount of the endowment premiums.

    But let's see the details of the endowments first.You never know, you may be one of the minority of punters who don't have a dud ;):D
    Trying to keep it simple...;)
