    I heard that the EBS are putting up their mortgage interest rates for a second time in months by another 0.6%.

    Thats 1.2% in the space of a few months - that is brutal :mad:

    Doesn't affect EBS customers on tracker mortgages though :pac:

    That's what you get for not knowing what a tracker mortgage is !
    Sure they had TV adverts to try and educate ye.

    Yeah, they're going up 0.60% for men and 0.75% for women.
    They have statistics showing that women default more on their loans.

    So, does this mean we'll be paying more for our electricity now?

    Abrasax...best reply to a post Iv ever seen!!!:)

    The feckin EBS stuck .8% onto their varibles when things got tough in 2008....now they are adding on again. I suppose im lucky enough that Im not in negitive equity...so i can look at changing my mortgage if needs be. Wait till the ECB start raising rates...then we will really see a depressed housing market.

    I have lost ANY respect for the banks in this country COMPLETELY.
    Like many an Irish politician, they are NOTHING but robbing, interested only in self-gain fcuks!

    About time.

    A further nail in the coffin of outlandish property prices and a step towards self sufficiency for the banks.

    How so? You believe we should continue to flog a dead horse? They are a business, not a charity. You can't expect them to continue making a loss and then complain when they have to turn to the government for help! Either you allow them return to profitability and stand on their own two feet, or keep screwing them and have the government "bail them out". The money has to come from somewhere.

    Well maybe if they couldn't stand on their own 2 feet without needing a bailout (from our taxes) then they should have been let fold and our mortgages sold to some other financial institution.
