Dont' know whether you are on or not - but here goes

I told you I am going down the equity route regards my house but since I have come to an arrangement with myself and (and another) I don't want the money I asked for last week but phoned the company today and told them to halve the money I requested with regards to your man coming to visit me tomorrow ie interest rate etc.

Your "man" rang me earlier this am and said to me "where are you going to get the extra money" I said "I just got it" - he said "did you get it from the Credit union" I again said I just got it. He said "well, you don't need to keep a secret from me" - I was confounded.

I am asking for half of what I asked for last week and he was annoyed - WHY?

[yogi-bear]

I always come to an arrangement with my myself at times, Connemara....it usually involves lubricant...... and I'm on too, so a bit hormonal as a result, For Funks Sake.

Conne, If you were taking out a loan with him, and you ask for a smaller loan than you originally wanted, then he will get less interest/commission, maybe that is why he is annoyed. X

Hi Conne - that sounds like a plan, don't borrow from the man if you don't have to - and you certainly don't have to tell him where you got it from, it's none of his business (you could have won the Lottery!).

Yes, he will be peeved, he's just lost half his commission :-) Never mind, some you win, some you lose, that's what you can tell him tomorrow!


Yogi, you're rude, tut :-)

Tell him he can have half of the business he thought he was getting or you will go elsewhere and he will have none of it.

erm conne, that answer from nibble was actually from me - I forgot he was logged in.

Thought that as my friend said their neighbour's "man" got £1,500 commission for £33,000. I had my suspicions why he was annoyed so we will wait and see.

I don't have much choice being in Ireland as there only two companies here who do Equity Releases - so as much I loathe the man and his mannerisms I may stick to him - jut to get it all over cos I dont want to go through all over again and I do have to hurry up as Santander have given me until after 1 Oct to get it sorted. Thanks Boxy.
