Brendan, unbelievable news after such a long time. Thank you so much for all of your guidance through this difficult process. In terms of my own situation I had appealed to the bank as per your template and was rejected. I didn't submit the Ombudsman appeal as of yet as I was awaiting an outcome another application but I'm still within the 6 months period. Should I still lodge my appeal or will today's verdict apply across the board?
No. I expect AIB to make an offer to all those affected so that they won't need to go to the Ombudsman.Nailligo said:
if we haven't written to the Ombudsman yet after getting the BDO/AIB rejection letter, should we still go ahead with that?
Well done to all who continued to pursue AIB and the appeals panel and especially to Brendan who helped to facilitate and guide us on the matter with such patience and skill.
I got this response from Brendan, so it looks like we can wait for now
No. I expect AIB to make an offer to all those affected so that they won't need to go to the Ombudsman.

Just be careful over-estimating the money back.I estimate we are owed over €40k in overcharged interest alone. Add compensation and interest on the over charge and it could double. AIB hit us with successive SVR inverses from April ‘09. The overcharge is huge.
rolled off the fixed rate in April 2009. General Condition 3.2 ignored by AIB.
just like all the others (kbc, boi, ulster etc) - everything you fixed or did after the original error date is effectively ignored. No breakage feeIm in the 6000cohort. I decided my mortgage towards the end of last year. Do u think that this will impact on any redress which offers a tracker rate? Do u think worst they could do is force me to pay breakage costs?
Hopefully that’s the case. Thanksjust like all the others (kbc, boi, ulster etc) - everything you fixed or did after the original error date is effectively ignored. No breakage fee
