The mortgage works

Due to financial difficulties the mortgage works offered me 4.6 %above base rate reviewed every three months . I’ve been paying off my arrears on top . They have offered me a fixed rate of 4.92% above base rate over two years . I cannot afford this I have been persistently on the phone to no avail either left holding cut off or person I wish to speak to unavaliable. I’m driving myself crazy . Is there anyone who could advise me on how to try and get the fixed rate offer lower than their offer of 4.92 %. I’ve been paying an agreed amount each month it’s hard but I do it I can’t understand why they offering me a much higher rate when they have full knowledge of my situation . I find it hard to find the correct words . Advise would be welcome.

Are these rates negotiable? Have you tried using their website?

BOE base + 4.92%? So, a rate of 9.92%?
What type of mortgage is this? You may need proper debt counselling advice from the likes of CAB or StepChange.I am a mortgage broker.

Is this a BTL mortgage? If so, then this commercial lending not consumer.
