The OP's posts are quite hard to read and I for one struggle to see what loss the OP has suffered for which they think that compensation is due.Barb1954 said:a complaint could be made if your mortgage went well into your retirement and the broker didn’t inform you.
The mortgage was only taken out in March 2024, so less than 18-months ago. Did the OP really need to be told by a Broker that the mortgage term would go on past their retirement date?
Was it not truly foreseeable to the OP in March 2024 that by November 2025 they would be over SP age?0 -
