Mortgage Express (Rosinca Mortgages) will not allow transfer of equity?

Hi Jim,

Unfortunately you are absolutely correct and Mortgage Express are being deliberately awkward.

Their only real targets are to get as many mortgages redeemed as possible that are left on the old cheap tracker rates and to minimise arrears.

Been there! Give me a call and I will talk you through what to do.

I got the impression that all you can do with these existing old ME mortgages was either continue exactly as you are (on the great current deal) or move mortgage lender. Unfortunately can’t see you getting very far with trying to challenge, likely just wasting time

From Rosinca's point of view you are trying to increase their risk without rewarding them for that risk. Ie if things go wrong in future they can chase two people instead of one.

Hi Jim, I know from current bitter experience that the FOS are struggling to cope with their general volume of referrals, and will be well aware of M.E. and their awkward stance, which borders on the ridiculous. My case has only just been allocated to a case worker 2 years on. Because there are 3rd party litigations in progress they seem to be looking for any excuse to step aside. Heads up. I am trying to negotiate with M.E. but because I have an FOS complaint outstanding, they will make no further comment. I have, nevertheless just escalated another complaint to the FOS just within the 6 month deadline. Why? because my simple request for a redemption statement was met by an impersonalised generic letter stating that they would exercise their all money charge/consolidation rights and they wrongly assumed I would be selling the property. I have 2 properties with them and one is serious negative equity as a result of their irresponsible lending to developers who were scamsters and they traded with in a negligent fashion. My well founded allegations were not well received.
Anthony Johns, would like to know more.
perhaps all 3 of us should establish e-mail contact by some means.
Property 118. M.E. are a big issue causing unreasonable suffering in my view. Anyone else feel the same?

I suggest you check out Financial Ombudsman (FOS) Trust Pilot and other reviews. They are abysmal.

After I was badly treated by Mortgage Express, who admitted lots of errors, I went to FOS. They too have behaved appallingly and at this point, I have not received justice, just a double whammy of incompetent organisations, who have sucked up my time and energy and given me a whole load of stress. If I had my time again or known about FOS' track record, I would not have bothered - just put it down to experience. They are not fit for purpose.

I'm with Siberite; another Topaz brand, and have just asked to transfer the equity in one property from my ex- to myself. I have 7.5 years remaining but I guess I can safely assume the transfer won't be permitted unless I agree to re-mortgage on to a higher rate. Payment isn't a problem; the rent is more than adequate, but after 8 years in limbo, I need to sort things out one way or another.

The same regulatory terms may apply as to Mortgage Express. It may be a closed business since the bailout and cannot engage in further lending or alteration of terms so they may not be "being difficult". It has been the case for 12 years. The change of brand and transfer of the mortgage book makes no difference. There are some good deals at the moment, take your mortgage elsewhere.

P.S. I have just taken a mortgage of 25% block, stressed income etc.) no more than 3.8%. Since I remember rates from before 2009 that doesn't seem all that high to me.
