    I am changing main banks so rang AIB to move the mortgage DD from one bank to the other. In order to give me time to transfer the money I asked that the payment date move from the 2nd of the month to the 5th. They told me it would be an extra 5.60 a month for this one off 3 day delay???? So an extra 1500 approx over the Mortgage. On a tracker 1.1 over ECB and 370000 on Mortgage and 24 years.....is this actual maths or let’s get any penny we can any way we can by AIB??

    You're paying 3 days later so there is an extra 3 days of interest accruing on the entire outstanding principal per month every month for the rest of the mortgage


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,150 ✭✭✭homer911


    Sounds like they are moving every future DD, not just the one you have requested - You should clarify with them, or just let the DD be set up as you want. Banks will typically represent a DD on a mortgage a few days later when it fails the first time

    No.

    One month only will have an extra three days. There are be same number of days in the month still...

    From the OP i gathered the DD is being moved to the 5th permanently rather than for just 1 month?

    Its not about how many days are in a month. There will be 3 extra days of interest accumulating on the principal per month for the next 24 years.

    Assuming it's a permanent move, it's 3 extra days of interest on the current loan balance, once only (not per month).

    His entire mortgage will be cleared 3 days later than expected, his last payment in 24 years time will be 3 days later.

    Does this warrant a charge of 1500?

    Unlikely unless he has a humongous loan. 3 days interest on an outstanding loan balance of 300k @ 4% is only €98. There's the interest on interest effect but that would bring it up to no more than €200 over the loan term

    Edit - compounding monthly brings the extra cost to €256 over the loan term in my example.

    Edit #2 - and using the OP's figures the extra cost over the loan term is €44 but it's unlikely you would get the tracker rate for the extra term (3 days) you extend the loan out for.

    Moving the dd date back 3 days means that your mortgage is paid off 3 days later. That means that you are paying 3 days later every month and you pay interest by the day. Your original agreement was based on you paying on that day.

    Maybe just keep it on the same day or go 3 days earlier?

    The second month is precisely one month later than the first month ie there is no '3 days later' apart from the first payment.

    How did you get a mortgage? I need to find that person and beat the absolute sh't out of them. You never should have been sold a mortgage if your knowledge is that appalling. These are professionals and it is unethical to be lending like that.

    The answer has been given Johnny. No mortgage experts here. This is basic. Very basic. And extremely reckless to be lending to a person like that. I put it in the same category as a scenario where Provident would lend to a random homeless guy on the side of the street at 70% of an interest rate. It's completely unethical for people to behave like this and lend to people so, so bereft of basic knowledge. It's just not on in my view.

    The second month's payment is exactly 1 month after the first month's.

    Do i need to explain it again....

    Every single payment is 3 days later for every month for the next 24 years. There is compound interest accumulating on the principial for an extra 3 days every month for the next 24 years.

    The OP has moved back 24 years of payments, not 1 month.

    I changed my mortgage date twice due to changing jobs.
    First I moved it from the 20th to the 10th and I didn't get a reduction in monthly payment.
    Then I moved it from the 10th to the 29th and didn't get hit by a big monthly increase.
    In neither case did my monthly payment change.
    Mortgage will still be cleared in the same month 20 odd years from now if I just stick to the payment structure.
    You've mentioned beating up the mortgage advisor, told the OP they shouldn't have a mortgage and compared them to a homeless person getting a high interest loan for asking a question and haven't contributed anything concrete since you are so sure.

    Put it this way, is someone taking out a new mortgage offered different monthly payments based on the day of the month they want to pay it? If they were then every mortgage in the country would be paid on the 1st

    This literally makes no sense unless you are making the outrageous claim that every single mortgage in the country starts off on the 1st of the month.

    The op has moved 24 years of payments by 3 days.

    So it still should only be 3 days of interest.

    Its not 3 days every month for 24 years.

    If I moved my payment from any other date in the month to the 1st (which I could do) would I be offered a reduction by the bank every month in line with the increase the OP has been charged?
    The answer is certainly no.

    Another question.

    If the OP wanted to change his payment from the 2nd to let's say the 29th like I did, would he be charged an extra 45 or 50 euro a month making his mortgage 15, 000 derarer? The answer again is no.

    That's the logic a few of you are following I've just expanded on how it's not how mortgages behave.

    I've changed mortgage several times and been with 3 or 4 lending institutions at this stage
    Same as you I've changed DD dates with no issues

    My current mortgage DD is paid on the 7th of the month and I know for a fact that payment is not taken off my mortgage until the end of each month


    If interest is charged Daily and my DD is the 4th of the month and wont be taken out till next tuesday will I be hit for the extra days interest? :eek:

    You've hit the crux of the issue there micks. Mortgage interest is indeed compounded monthly in both our cases.
    Frequency on compounding makes a difference.
    It could be applied monthly, weekly, daily, every hour, every minute, every second or even continuously which is the mathematical concept denoted by the letter 'e'
    To OP, my mortgage is AIB too and this didn't apply to me so don't take it from them and ask how frequently your interest is compounded.
    Don't listen to the 2 posters that haven't a clue and have just resorted to insulting other posters.

    I think it hilarious that by moving three days forward that every month now has 33 or 34 days.

    We should use this concept to create more days in the month in general.

    Judging by some of the posts I wonder if they ever went to school....

    There is a single three days that is being compounded. Someone else has worked it out already at 100 quid or so or if you compound it at 250 or so. 1500 it is not.

    No need to be condescending. This is how I (and probably others) understand it, correct me if I am wrong:

    Month 0 - July 10th: Drawdown
    Month 1 - Aug 10th: Payment of 1 months interest (Jul 10th to Aug 10th)
    Month 2 - Sep 10th: Payment of 1 month interest (Aug 10th to Sep 10th)
    Month 3 - Oct 13th: Payment of 1 month + 3 days interest (Sep 10th to Oct 13th)
    Month 4 - Nov 13th: Payment of 1 month interest (Oct 13th to November 13th)
    etc..

    So after the first month of the new payment date, we are back to paying 1 months interest.

    If you are saying that every month should include the additional 3 days, then surely they are paying 34 days interest every month which can't be right?

    Because it is pushed out 3 days there is a smidgen extra of interest on the capital there each month from that point on. Interest is paid on this smidgen every month there after. 1500 over the mortgage life time? Doubtful. That would mean if you took a two month mortgage break the additional owed would be an extra 60k ish?

    If you are a product of the Irish educational system then yes, perhaps you should weep.  
    I put the numbers into Excel to calculate day by day interest accrual over 24 years.  Moving the payment date from the 2nd to the 5th (for every monthly payment) moves the monthly payment from 1461.38 per month to 1461.51 per month - 13 cents extra per month.  If the payment amount was unchanged, there would be about 43 left outstanding at the end of the 24th year - this has a present value of about 21.  It is a tiny tiny change in the context of a 370K mortgage.

    It's as if the mortgage is paused for three days, accrues 3 days of interest - and then the 24 year mortgage starts with that little bit of interest (about €33) as an extra part of the capital.

    Pop the numbers into Excel yourself and then maybe come back and clarify the issue for posterity

    I was trying to with out what the two arrogant posters meant. I mean they didn’t tell us.

    I too thought it would be a once off payment.

    I think that the banks are doing this. They are treating the payment as if it were late every month and calculating the fee at the end. So if the cost is not to be paid up front but at the end - every month the extra three days means that more interest has accrued and the payments being the same less capital is paid off. Every subsequent month the capital hasn’t been paid off as much as originally planned and therefore more interest accrues etc.

    This is ludicrous though because they are asking for this compounded payment up front before it could have compounded.

    The op could ask to over pay whatever is necessary on the 6th to get the capital to wherever it would have been on the 3rd.

    OP I know it's a difficult concept, but have you asked the bank what the story is,?

    My guess is that they would know the answer.!!

    Thanks for that answer I did multiple times and the person on the phone literally just said “ the amount to pay back will change” no help.

    As explained above there is only 3 days extra interest as a one off as every other payment is exactly a month later. They are trying to screw me over or can’t do their own maths I reckon so will make sure I have the Mortgage amt available in the new acc for the first of the month some how.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,745 ✭✭✭StupidLikeAFox


    Could you ask to move the payment for one month only, then revert to the third for each subsequent month?

    If Buba was correct with his assertion that:

    The cost would be alot more than the 1500 the bank quoted.

    Using correct maths though it should actually cost only €45 assuming no penalty charges and they can retain the tracker rate for the 3 day loan extension
