Thanks for the advice everyone. My priority now is to find another lender, I will postpone the complaints for now. For the record, their fee was £499 and admin fee was £99.0

Try a local established broker/IFA. EA brokers have a dire reputation and you have seen it first hand. These payment for life methods are disgraceful in my opinion. They are common on the EA side and a number of EAs have gone out of business and not able to honour the fee for life option.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0 -

Who wants a free for life service if the actual service itself is terrible?
My bank advisor is currently trying. He sees no problem with my application currently. Will see what the underwriters have to say. Fingers crossed!! At least there is NO FEE whatsoever!!!!0
