I received a flyer through the post which says "we will find you a better mortgage or give you 100 pounds". I phoned up, after answering lots of questions and listening to lots of waffle, eventually the bloke said he couldn't find me a better mortgage as my mortgage was too near the end of its term and the balance was too small. I said, ok send me the cheque. He said it doesn't work like that. I have checked the small print on the flyer and there is nothing about a minimum balance or remaining term to qualify for the offer. To be honest, I knew they wouldn't find me a better deal and I wasn't really expecting them to send me the 100 quid, but it annoys me that companies make statements like this with no intention of honouring them. Even if it doesn't help me get the 100 quid, who can I complain to about misleading advertising? Is there anything else I can do? Thanks, Gareth

Anybody get the money from the "we will find you a better mortgage or give you 100 pounds" offers?

Why, have you just realised that I don't need to be either?

How could answering either way appear rude?
