    An increase in APR is very common when a loan is refinanced with most lenders. They should have made you aware of this at the time and the 8.4% will have been on the paperwork you signed.

    I can't see you getting very far with trying to reclaim the difference.
    Whilst my posts do not constitute financial advice, I am always, without fail, 100% right! :D
  • If the BOE had increased, then Northern Rocks rate had probably been increased. You wanted more money, hence the higher rate

    It would have been on the agreement
