There are also fixed rates of 6.99% going around as well. Also only $310 max to switch over (assuming no LMI) & no ongoing fees. Hopefully l might get it right t…[Read more]

I'm with GE too and was just looking at transferring out before all this happened. Was quoted a $3,470 exit fee. Man, wouldn't it be nice if the exit fee was waived and i could get a rate 2% cheaper than l'm on currently!! It would certainly take the pressure off.

Hi KarenThanks for the feedback. It sounds so much like what l went through. They are very good at grooming you into wanting it. I sent them an e-mail saying thanks but no thanks. They replied and were not too happy, saying that l hadn't spoken to anyone that had completed their program so my opinion was not well researched. Funny, considering l…[Read more]
