Business as usual at the name changed FSA, then.

Do you need any more evidence that the FCA is in the pockets of the banks!!!!!!0

It's only an issue for those that did not read their contracts, or get someone qualified to explain it to them.0

As the BoI was not regulated by the FSA at the time of the mortgage sales, what do you think it could do?
Plus, many of the mortgages were unregulated buy to lets. So, you get lower levels of consumer protection on those (even if it had post October 2004).
And finally, it turns out that it was in the T&C.
The article says that people should fight on and then got to the FOS. However, all these mortgages were prior to regulation or are unregulated and you dont get access to the FOS in those cases.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0 -
