This complaint relates to a mortgage loan account held by the Complainants with the
Provider. The mortgage loan which is the subject of this complaint was secured on the
Complainants’ principal private residence.
The loan amount was €110,000.00 and the term of the loan was 20 years. The Letter of
Offer of Mortgage Loan dated 22 March 2002 provided that the interest rate applicable
was a variable interest rate of 4.25%.
The Complainants’ Case

sum of €110,000.00 in March 2002. The Complainants outline that “shortly after” the
