if you look at what hopeful posted right above, Mr Peng's argument is weak, and is pushing the limits of interpretation. This is just despicable.
look at the posted doc here
http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/ea...n-4984471.html , the "Thereafter" spread is clearly a fixed number.
If Citi insist he never meant to sell it as throughout spread, then Citi would have been doing a deliberate and intentional mis-selling in 2011. That sounds very illegal to me.
(It's a different matter if Citi said, "at the time we did intend to sell it as throughout, but today business change, and I INVOKE MY CATCHALL CLAUSE to rescind it". For that we are back to the real issue why banks are allowed to have such clauses.)
As hopeful pointed out, Citi clearly try not to say " under T&C I can change anyway", but instead say "the main contract already allows me to change, you never read your problem". never mind pushing the limit of word playing game.
hopeful, my friend is not as cynical as you think. he is not arguing with Citi anymore because he is afraid he would be blacklisted by the bank as he has other business with Citi. Since he can refinance out, he said just move on.
To me MAS is the party that should take on Citi. MAS has all the details, and MAS is not afraid of "offending" a bank on *consumer loans*. This is why I urge every one to write to MAS directly. No need to be a freerider as it is of no cost to you.
