Did you get the booklet. I have it if you still need it. My version is dated 4/2/2003
I have had huge problems operating this account since UB took over. The staff just don't seem to be trained in this product.
Having said that you do seem to be asking a lot. The mortgage is secured against the original property, if you sell it it is not unreasonable that they want you to redeem the mortgage.
But you never know. UB haven't a clue when it comes to this product.
When trying to withdraw funds under the facility arrangement I have (seriously) stood blocking the doorway of my local branch and shouting for all to hear that i wouldn't leave until I got my money.
Instead of calling the guards, they agreed to release the money and I subsequently got an apology and compensation for the delay. That was 3 years ago.
Just recently I withdrew some more money from this account. They sent me about 6 BS letters asking for stuff they were not entitled to or I had already sent them. It took them 6 weeks to make the transfer. I fully expect to be compensated for this delay as well.
Sorry just wanted to get that off my chest.
