Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and we’re sorry you’re disappointed about our interest rates changing.

Our interest rates can increase or decrease at short notice particularly in the current environment and our customers can move into the higher rate if this happens within their 14 day cooling off period and they contact us to request the change.
