Now had a letter from Bank of Ireland (ex Bristol & West ) Mortgage, increase in Interest rates from May quote:-

From 1st May 2013 the new differential will be 2.49% meaning the new total interest rate including Bank of England's Base Rate (currently 0.50%) will be 2.00%.

From 1st October 2013 the new differential rate will be 3.99% meaning a new total interest rate including the bank of England Base Rate (currently 0.50%)will be 4.49%.

Why are they doing this:- Currently, banks are required to hold more capital reserves, as part of measures to protect the banking system from the type of scenarios during the banking crisis (they brought on) in addition, the cost of funding mortgages has increased significantly for Bank of Ireland and the market as a whole in recent years.

option 1. review you mortgage options we have a range of customer mortgages that you can consider, you may wish to remortgage to another lender, If you have sub accounts that have Early Repayment Charges we waive these.

Oh! Yes the Torys are in government!

Am guessing mine will be an extra £50.00 a month? estimated.

Thursday 28 February 2013 by Jonathan Rayner

More than 700 lawyers have signed an open letter calling on the government to drop its ‘dangerous and unnecessary’ plans to extend closed material procedures (CMPs).

The letter, published in today’s Daily Mail, says that the proposals for secret courts set out in the Justice and Security Bill are ‘contrary to the rule of law’ and ‘erode core principles of our civil justice system, including the right to a fair trial… and open justice’.

The letter adds that the procedures will ‘fatally undermine’ the courtroom as a forum in which allegations of wrongdoing can be fairly tested and the government ‘transparently held to account’.

Closed proceedings were designed in response to claims by the security services that other countries will be unwilling to share intelligence with the UK if intelligence might later be disclosed in open court. It is proposed that CMPs will hear cases entirely in private, with no defendants or claimants present.

The latter will not know or be able to challenge the case against them and will be represented by a security-cleared special advocate, not their own lawyer.

CMPs are currently used in a small number of immigration and deportation hearings, but the government wants to extend them across the civil courts in cases believed to involve national security.

Law Society president Lucy Scott-Moncrieff told the Gazette last month that CMPs undermine an essential principle of justice, which is that all parties are entitled to see and challenge all of the evidence relied upon before the court, and to combat that evidence by calling evidence of their own.

The Society insists that the government has failed to make a national security case for extending CMPs to ordinary civil litigation.
