    I don't think V3 has reached the 1Y anniversary yet.

    Sit on your hands. Do nothing and it will just extend for a further year on your present tariff version.

    Mine ends on June 3 and I received a renewal email last week. It said if you dont reply saying you want to remain on Tracker then you will be moved to Flexible so I would not assume you will stay on Tracker as the default response.

    They must have changed their emails. This is what I received:



    I did nothing and I am still on the old tariff version.

    v3 renewal emails have known to have different renewal process than v1 and v2 which was why Griffindog specifically asked question relating to v3 renewals

    So I'm somewhat regretting signing up to a 2 year fixed last month and paying an additional £105 on my monthly payments compared to the previous 10 years as we watch interest rates fall.  :s

    I take it I my only option is to suck it up and live with it?

    Depends if there's an exit fee, and whether the savings from the tariff(s) you're looking at would outweigh it.
