Remortgaging with a DMP

Options
Hi,

We recently entered into a DMP with StepChange and we were wondering if this will prevent us from remortgaging.

We know there is no chance we can change Mortgage provider, but we are currently on a Tracker rate and as we are expecting the Interest rates to go up sooner rather than later, what are the chances of our current provider switching us to a Fixed rate?

Obviously, we will not be asking for additional borrowings.

We have never missed a mortgage payment and our current LTV is 70-75%.

Is there a chance we could be trapped on the tracker rate?

Thanks.

    Ask your lender what customer retention products you can choose from. As you say, you have no remortgage options, so a new product with your existing lender is the only option, if any are offered.

    What rate of interest are you paying on the tracker?
