What this decision was about

Product mis-sold

In the Ombudsman’s words

Mr J says the mortgage was mis-sold because when he took out additional borrowing on sub-accounts, NatWest failed to explain to him that because the sub-accounts had different interest rate products ending on different dates, he would incur an early repayment charge (ERC) if he wanted to move his mortgage to another lender during the period when the ERCs applied.Product mis-sold
