unfortunately this is still and outstanding and unresolved matter since the lenders disclosure in 2022.I’ve never heard of a customer knowingly agreeing to an increase out side of LTV to get automatically declined having agreed a reduction clearly stated in KFI.Many lenders on trackers were forced to surrender preferential products because they unexpectedly found lenders rejecting porting
I’m well within my rights to keep complaining until resolved. Had my grandfathers who served in kings cavalry in great wars gave up then we’d all be living in a very different world.0 -

Yes I agree it’s insane because it was highly irregular activity that FCA have involved team who regulate this lender.Many innocent and unsuspecting customers fell foul of this trap to exit them from preferential rates they just had no idea but found they now for some unknown reason no longer met internal rules or criteria0 -
But why would they put through an application for a higher amount than you requested?
