Savings Bond Reinvestment.

On visiting my Lutterworth branch I never had to wait to long and was dealt with quickly and efficiently. I renewed a fixed rate bond and added money from the closure of another account. Following this my new account pass book arrived in a short period of few days. Reviewed on: 27th July 2022

Broken Commitment

1
I went through an independent mortgage advisor and HRBS was one of the offers we looked at. The offering was perfect for my age and position. We applied for the mortgage supplying all the detail requested. I was asked to increase the deposit which we did. I was then told that the mortgage had been approved. The developer was also told that the mortgage was approved. With this approval I was able to pay my holding monies, agree the price and negotiate some betterment into the deal. My broker and I were then told that the paper work was been sent for signing and that we would have the mortgage with in 5-7 working days. On this we planned our move out of our rented property and served notice. The developer pushed forward to get the house completed for the 6th May 2022. On the 5th May my broker was told by the underwriter that an error had been made and that HRBS could not provide this offer and that we had to start again. My Broker provided all the evidence that an offer had been made but the reply was simply sorry an error has been made. All previous agreements were in my view broken. The behaviour from that point was disgusting to say the least. Poor communication, all the information we had sent had to be resent. I had to put all my belongings into storage and had to move in with my sister-in law for 8 weeks. I am taking advice on making a formal complaint and a claim for costs I have incurred due to the unprofessional behaviour of HRBS. If, as the underwriter stated the person should not have made this offer what is that person doing committing HRSB to a deal. Except HRBS just ignore the situation and believe they operate above contract law. For the avoidance of doubt I intend to take this as high as I need, to recover my costs but also to make HRBS more accountable for their behaviours. Reviewed on: 25th July 2022
