Can you cancel a rate switch?

Currently with Barclays. Have requested a rate switch but now thinking I might change from a fixed to a tracker as I might sell. Got the offer letter yesterday. The new rate is effective from the beginning of July. Anyone know if it's too late to cancel? Their mortgage department is already closed today.

What does the offer letter say? You do know that if you move onto a tracker you'll still be locked into a time period? Its unlikely that any other way than staying on the standard variable rate (or BBR in Barclays case) will see you tied in."You've been reading SOS when it's just your clock reading 5:05 "0

It says 'You are not bound by the terms of this offer document until the new interest rate has been applied to your mortgage' - I'm guessing that means the beginning of July?0 -
