    Someone has to pay for the person that reviews your mortgage every month I'm afraid.

    Yes it is.

  • If you have agreed to pay £75p/m and they have accepted this, they shouldn't charge you. Give them another call and ask them about this. Make sure they have set it on your account as a firm arrangement. If this is done, there shouldn't be any charges if the arrangement is kept, but if broken is usually a higher charge.
