    On the occasion I got a call back, it came masked through the 0300 number. I don't think they're using direct lines or emails, they're routing everything through the customer service ones.

    Just wanted to say that I have brought the issues raised in this thread to the attention of colleagues here at MSE
    Hi James, we would be super grateful if you have any updates on whether your colleagues were able to escalate this internally / have any advise for us, or something..? Fingers crossed Martin Lewis might comment on this crisis, he has been tagged in so many tweets now..

    Signed up the MSE as I'm in the same boat. I was able to get through to someone this morning and he processed my redemption quote while on the phone. I'm still waiting on the undertaking to be sent to our solicitor (which was meant to have been sent immediately) so back on hold. 

    Just to give people a glimmer of hope - I have been able to speak to someone today. Although I spent over 10 hours on hold last week and another 4 today.
    @J@JackWilliam1234  did ever get the legal pack sent to your solicitor following the call? I got my redemption on Monday but still waiting on the legal pack and solicitors don’t want to send the legal undertaking letter to help to buy without it.
  • FYI we managed to get ours sorted in the final hour through sheer grit and determination.

    A word of warning though, even if you pay off the loan, and the additional £1 monthly admin fee, they will still take the direct debit. So cancel your direct debit immediately.
