    Hi All - Took ages but finally the FOS agreed that the Abbey should honour the original interest rate as quoted and ordered them to send me a fat cheque to the value of the difference between the rate quoted and the rate charged.

    One up to the common man :)

  • Brilliant news - I'm sending my complaint against Woolwich to the FOS today, being out of pocket for their error. My fingers are very crossed.

    Excellent News - well done for persisting.

    Sorry it took the best part of 2 years to get your money back though.

    I guess the lessons learned are never give up and always get something in writing.
