MCOB 11.8 1Customers unable to change regulated mortgage contract, home purchase plan or provider

MCOB 11.8.1ERP

Where a customer is unable to:

  1. (1)

    enter into a new regulated mortgage contract or home purchase plan or vary the terms of an existing regulated mortgage contract or home purchase plan with the existing mortgage lender or home purchase provider; or

  2. (2)

    enter into a new regulated mortgage contract or home purchase plan with a new mortgage lender or home purchase provider;

the existing mortgage lender or home purchase provider should not (for example, by offering less favourable interest rates or other terms) take advantage of the customer's situation or treat the customer any less favourably than it would treat other customers with similar characteristics. To do so may be relied on as tending to show contravention of Principle 6 (Customers’ interests).
