My fixed term ended on 1/2/10 but they told me my reduced payments will not start until April due to 'mortgage payments being one month in arrears and they have to give me 30 days notice'!!. This sounds complete crap as I have been informed by a mortgage advisor that it should start from 02/2/10. My first mortgage payment was 08/02/07 and was fixed for 3 years, so it doesn't make any sense. Am I being fobbed off and if so how can I make them pay me the money I'm owed?

In terms of consumer spending on luxury goods do you think that consumers will spend less over the coming year or possibly longer. I saw a story on the news yesterday indicating that sales for entertainment (namely watching films) have actually increased for this quarter against 2008. Will people spend their lesser disposable income on 'having fun' or do you think that this will alter as the recession continues? Also is there any reason for this bar the logic of 'enjoy the present' because the future's bleak. I’m interested in what Zoe is getting at…

Could you give any more information on how you think consumer buying habits will be affected by the credit crunch moving into 2009. Obviously people are spending less nowadays and tightening their purse strings. Will this continue into 2009? Will we see the birth of a new type of savvy consumer who knows what supermarket to go to at any given time to get the best deals, who used to shop at Waitrose and is by 2009 a fully fledged Aldi advocate? Will people still be staying in instead of going out or will we rise out of this bump and return to life just as it was before the doom and gloom headlines hit the media? This is fascinating.
