Indeed, this is going to be very important for quite a few of us (not just Swift) If I may dare to imagine.

You star, I just wish I'd been there...

I understand you might be needing this or is it too late?: Their rate never ever went down, just up....

You can see why Mr White confirmed under oath that the cost of their funding was governed by the LIBOR rate they made more money from this than they would have if it was linked to the BOE rate.

Re: Swift Advances PLC

Maybe Paul can use this little bit of info might be useful might not. When I received my first notice of a rise in interest rate in May 2007 I noted Swifts rate had gone up by 0.35% and the BOE by 0.25% I wrote and asked Swift why. I was told then that their rate was linked to LIBOR and not the BOE I had assumed that it was linked to the BOE because 1. I had never heard of LIBOR before then and 2. our agreement didn't mention what rate it was linked to.
If we had known that the rate would only go up and never come down. we would never have signed that agreement in the first place ......even I'm not that stupid...........no mention of this type of it wasn't unreasonable to think it was the BOE.
I'm shutting up now I have my own thread that has all the info about Swift for anyone to see.................and the mess I made of trying to expose them.

"J. We have the power tochange the rate of interest we charge under this agreement to reflect a changein the cost of our funds. We may use that power by giving you at least 14 days'notice in writing by first-class post. The change will apply from the dateshown in the
notice, which will also tell you why the cost of our funds has changed"

The only reason ever given as to why the cost of their funds was the rise in the interest rate their lender charged them on their borrowing (which was Barclays) who as we know manipulated the LIBOR rate ,which as White said was the ONLY cost of their funding.
Basically every Swift borrower was hit by Barclays wrong doings. Swift knew about this manipulation all the time .....the amount of movement of staff and personel between Swift and Barclays,......... Barclays and Alchemy ........( SWifts ultimate owners)........ Alchemy to Swift was a lot.
Sorry PT for still posting on YOUR thread..................but the name of Swift winds me up so easy. )

Thats the term

[Sparkie1723]

Re: Swift Advances PLC

That term says THEY have the power ...............and use that power to increase the interest to reflect the cost of their funds........OK.......but as the ONLY cost of their funds was the LIBOR.....when it went down and down...........they did not use that power to lower it because it was to their disadvantage....................the term would be fair if they had used it fairly and reduced the interest as they had the power to do so..........using it in the way they did was grossly unfair our rate should have reduced downwards by some 3.5 % at least from August2007 to date.
If this was applied fairly we would have more likely than not fell in to such heavy arrears, I'm not saying we would not have fell into arrears.....but not as much.
