| Re: News - Bank of England shocks with massive 1.5% cut in interest rates Blimey - didn't expect that one coming. A cut was obviously in the offing but i wasn't expecting anything over 1% |

| Re: News - Bank of England shocks with massive 1.5% cut in interest rates i think its bad for the pound reducing interest rates so its worse doing this, pound will be worse against pound and so goods go up in price as well as lack of sales so its going to do more damage. Look at my ratings  Trust Hexus Name= hicks12 |

| Re: News - Bank of England shocks with massive 1.5% cut in interest rates The problem is they won't pass on too much of the cut to the fixed rates. They are also only really offering them for long terms at present and if you need more than a 75% mortgage then they really stiff you with the rate. I am very glad our renewal and then house buy came up before all of this. |

 | Re: News - Bank of England shocks with massive 1.5% cut in interest rates Batten down the hatches. I'm still waiting for some of my Icesave money back, so I can't fix any more of my money in these decent fixed rate accounts. Hope it's not too little too late   Mac fancier > white macbook base spec .................. CS: muddyfirebang |

| Re: News - Bank of England shocks with massive 1.5% cut in interest rates Originally Posted by menthel I do understand and i know how it works.
The thing is, in this climate, the rules can change at the drop of a hat and i really dont think (unfortunately), you will see any kind of movement anytie soon. I hope you do....really....but the banks seem to be closing ranks. |

| Re: News - Bank of England shocks with massive 1.5% cut in interest rates Banks are are like your worst best friend, nice as Pie to your face and will stab you in the back as soon as its turned, how they can get away with not imposing the lower rate is beyond me, I know that its the between bank borrowing that is there achilles heel, but so freckin what, we had to bail them out because they cocked everything up, now that we have used are hard earned cash to stablise there short comings, they still want to shaft us. Not sure what to expect from the banks or what if indeed they will drop the interest rate to if at all, but i do know that we will get the short straw which everway it does go.

| Re: News - Bank of England shocks with massive 1.5% cut in interest rates Originally Posted by Blitzen Baserate tracker, tracks baserate. Says so in the contract. Therefore it will change. At least thats what mine does.
