below base/libor tracker mortgages no collar

Options
Hi i know it would be unheard of these days. But after doing some reading i was wondering if there is anyone out there with a tracker rate that is 1% or maybe 2% below BBR/libor. If so has the lender imposed or attempted to impose a collar. If not well are the bank paying you on your mortgage balance?

Would an interest only mortgage in this situation be paying you for their debt ?

    If there is no collar in the terms then the lender has to go down in line with the terms, however they would stop at 0% as there is nothing in the terms to state they will pay.... I only know this as it was a genuine concern when I worked for a lender.
