  • That’s really annoying! I have a 2 part mortgage and can Op online- the payment is pro rata across the 2 mortgages or I have to ring up to split it differently 

    well done on the winnings and shares need- mortgage neutral sounds exciting!
    Spent all day today trying to get through 😠 😡 

    Nothing
     
    Contacted the chat bot. They couldn't resolve so it let me email.  They simply replied with you can either visit a branch or on our phone 
    😠 😡

  • However......

    Big news

    Uber drum roll....

    On Monday we should be mortgage neutral.  The money is in my account just not yet cleared. 

     😊 😀 😄 

    We should remain mortgage neutral until April.  As soon as the tax year starts we are buying a new to us car. 

    Most money I have ever had in my life so will enjoy it for now

    Well done on being mortgage neutral however temporary. Great position to be in. 

    How annoying re not being able to OP or get through.

  • Beyond annoying.

    Still no answer at the bank on sat via the phone.  I'm going to ring again  in the morning and then do the 1.5hr round trip on Wed to overpay.  I will pay off 160 and do a Jan and Feb over payment as I just will not be going that way again for a long time. 😤

    It won't take me to the zero club I like but it will roughly so that will have to do
