Early Redemption Fees - Mortgages

I redeemed my mortgage about 8 years ago and have just found some paperwork whilst clearing out the cupboards. I was choked to find out that had I redeemed the mortgage just 14 days later than I did, I would have been £10k better off ! How niaive was I !!!

I've googled around to see if I can reclaim this excessive early redemption penalty in the same way that people are reclaiming PPI but I haven't come across anything. Does anyone know whether I have a legit claim to get this money back?

    You don't, sorry.

    The ERP compensates the market counterparty which provided the rate swap for your fix/tracker.

    It's all or nothing, based on that end date and it's just a shame you didn't check it against the completion date you agreed.
