    Mine has and it is GE Money. I was quite surprised after reading the forums and things, but they have.

    Hi MA99,

    It's also here and we've been updating it on a regular basis...has been since the start of December... ;o)

    'How has your lender responded to the rate cuts?'

    Which lenders have been passing on the Base Rate cuts - full list

    Saw a table on the BBC website which showed lenders who had passed on teh Base Rate cut http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7872344.stm and also on moneysavingexpert.com (Am I allowed to say that?!?! :P ) which showed this graph from a blog which I've pasted.

    Quite unbelievable - proof, as if it was needed, that banks are doing virtually nothing save for LLoyds and a few others in terms of passing on Base Rate cut benefits.
