In August 2018 I had my complaint against Barclay card upheld for my PPI Insurance held on my Barclay card from 1992 until 2004, the card continued without PPI from 2004 to 2011. I was unhappy with the redress offered as I knew that this card would have had an average balance of around £2400 a month during the period up to 2004. Barclay card offered me compensation which was inadequate. They stated as they had no records of my account previous to May 2004 (my PPI was stopped in April 2004, I found that to be a little too convenient that all my statements prior to May 2004 had gone missing), that they had created an offer based on historical averages for a typical customer. I wrote to Barclay Card asking them to reconstruct the balance on the card from Nov 1992 to Apr 2004 based on my spending patterns on the same card from May 2004 to Nov 2011. They refused to do so. As a consequence of this refusal I contacted the FOS. At the same time I raised a GDPR request which I received in due course with statements from May 2004. I passed these statements to the FOS as part of their investigation. I have now received the FOS adjudication. The adjudication states that Barclay Card have acted unfairly in this instance and need to reconstruct my credit account from 1992 to 2004 using an average balance of my card between Apr 2004 and Feb 2007 when my credit limit increased. They are to use the average balance and then work from that point. My question is what methodology will they use as I can find nothing indicating how a calculation will be done either on the FCA or FOS websites. I do have a copy of the FCA Handbook 10/12 which has working examples of how to calculate PPI in most instances, but I am afraid not in this situation. I would like to be able to work out what is likely to be a fair and reasonable offer from Barclay Card if and when it arrives.

Hi everyone, I joined the site yesterday and I've been having a good look at PPI threads along with the interest calculator spreadsheets. I am in the process of claiming PPI from 4 NatWest loans that my deceased parents took out in the 80s. NatWest have made offers on all 4 claims but I'm not sure they've worked the interest out correctly - I have queried this with them but they've just sent me a letter repeating the same information as their offers. I've used the PPI spreadsheet on here but NatWest are saying that interest is paid at 15% up to 31st March 1993 then 8% from 1st April 1993 and the spreadsheet I tried only showed 8%. Is there a way I can change it to work out interest at 15%? The loans were taken out in 1983, 1986, 1987 and 1988 so will all have at least 5 years interest at 15% on them. If anyone can offer me any help with this I will be really grateful. Thank you

My partner finally decided to claim her Capital One credit card PPI. The card was issued in 2003 which was more or less when PPI was introduced I believe with a avg credit amount of £500. About 2 weeks ago she made a claim using the Capital one/resolver online application. The original card application was completed on the phone and her complaint was it was not fully explained to her what PPI was and why she should be accepting. Within a week she received a reply stating she was not eligible for a PPI reclaim due to the following reason: aged 16-64 Employed and paying class 1 NAT INS Living in UK Based on the above we are confident the PPI was not mis-sold !!! They confirm it was sold on a telephone application which they do not have the recording ! How is this confirming that it was not mis-sold ? They have however agreed to just over £1200 as a result of redress scheme which was introduced in 2014 re a high commission rate which is unfair to the consumer under the CCA 1974. Not sure how to work out the PPI as not much statements are available. Given the above info, what would be the best course of action? Thanks in advance

Hi all, Just a bit of a background, I called Blackhorse on the 23rd December 2018 to check whether I had any PPI on loans that I took out many years ago. The first and most relevant was taken out in 1987 as I recently found out from them. They found I had three within 87 and 91. They didn’t indicate or tell me whether or not there was PPI on any of my agreements and instead sent out a complaint form and explain to them why I was misold any of the policies attached to each loan. I had no paperwork at the time of calling. A week later I sent back the form and gave the reasons why each were misold. Before doing this I called Blackhorse again and requested a copy each credit agreement agreement they hold on file which they said ok but still fill out the form and send it back which I did. 2 weeks after sending of the form, instead of receiving credit agreements, I was sent each loans running Statements from the opening payments right up until the last. 2 do not show an indication of PPI. But the largest and earliest loan clearly stated PPI £1637.11 included in a total amount of £15,387.78 to repay back. This is on the first page of the statement. Ive keep asking them to comfirm and they keep saying that there is a strong indication and a final response would be provided The Final response date I was given was 18th February. But I received a letter today stating they need at least another 8 weeks to fully respond to the complaint. It’s quite frustrating that they are not providing a final response. I understand there busy and that’s why they have such sufficient time provided to them under their regulations. The reason they have provided for this responses is that they are busy and it hasn’t gone to the relevant departments yet. It funny because I’ve spoken to 3 different people so far during the weeks that have gone by and they have each stated completely contradictory stages as to where the complaint currently is positioned. 2 weeks ago someone told me it’s half way, a week later someone said it’s not even been seen yet by the case handlers and now they have decided to extend for another 8 weeks. I don’t know what to believe. I’ve mentioned to them that I’m going through hardship at the moment as I’m now disabled and require funds for a needed private operation and the money would come in very handy at the right time. Is this common practice or is there something more to it? Would it be wise to take the complaint to the ombudsman? What’s the best thing to do going forward? Given that there is records of each loan, whats the hold up? Could they be passing liability onto someone else, and would have they not of done that already to address the matter ASAP? Any advice or experience anyone has with dealing with Blackhorse PPI dpt is very welcome and I look forward to receiving everyone’s responses on how to best get a reasonable response in a reasonable time. Thank you

Hi, HSBC responded to SAR request as nothing on the system for 2003 - 2004. Then after I sent them a policy number for CRP PPI on closed credit card. We have an offer as Full and Final settlement of Miss Sold policy! Premiums total £150 Redress Total £460 inc premium. Does this look about right? Many Thanks

Hi Everyone, I am hoping someone can give me some advice on whether or not I should make a complaint about Mis sold PPI on two credit cards and a loan I had with Halifax when I worked for them. I started working for Halifax in 2002 and with a couple of months of starting I was offered a credit card and a loan as other staff members needed to hit their sales targets. I applied for both by basically sitting beside a colleague in the office who did the application and told me it was successful. He never once mentioned PPi and I was not aware of it as I worked in savings and investments. I would also like to stress the card or the loan was not on any special staff rate. anyhow my girlfriend has being pestering me recently to call Halifax to check if I had PPI. I was very reluctant as I was 100% sure I didn’t have PPI. Anyhow I called them and was shocked to learn that I in fact did have PPI. I left Halifax a year after starting and continued paying the credit card and loan for 5 years after that. I was off ill from work for 8 months during this time due to an undiagnosed illness. I was investigated for Chrones but it came back negative and thankfully I starated to recover from the mystery Illness. My point is if I had of known I had PPI I would made a claim. I just dont know if my case is strong enough as I have no paper evidence. any advice would be greatly appreciated

a few years back I took out a secured loan with Norton Finance (as they were then), which I could only take out if I took out PPI in the region of about £2.5k (the secured loan was for £25k (ish). The account moved from Norton Finance to Matlock Bank and then to Ascenden (#vultures!!!). The PPI was with Sterling Insurance Services or something. The secured loan was taken out in either 2004 or 2005 for 90 months (and I got into some difficulty with it - it is all resolved and paid off now - about 3 years ago). Can I claim PPI?

Hello I am deaf and me and my wife took a loan out of £16,000 secured loan through igroup Ltd via loans.co.uk. We believe we have been misold with PPI. I wish to make a PPI complaint so can you please point me to the right direction to who I should make a PPI complaint to? The loan was taken out sometime between 2001-2003, not too sure and we have lost the original agreement, unfortunately. Please help? Many thanks Angus

HSBC now owns HFC Bank in Brighton. I wrote to HSBC Coventry PPI claims office giving my name, DOB and precise former address, last week, but they replied to say: no records of my account can be found after 32 years, and that they are not legally obliged to retain documents beyond the statutory period if an account was closed. I also opened a Loan Account in Bournemouth and fully repaid around 1983. -- same answer from HSBC: no records. I myself have retained no records whatsoever, but I am absolutely certain I had those accounts, and 70% sure there was PPI as was standard custom in those days. Is this a dead end? Should I invest in £10 requesting a SAR, if so SAR sent to HSBC Coventry or to HFC Bank in Brighton? Later to complain to FOS if we suspect HSBC does have records? Thanks to all for sharing experience.

I am just getting round to starting my PPI claims - somewhat late I know. Please can someone let me know what the first step would be after remembering which companies I had the loan or cc with. Would it be a SAR request?

HI guys, I’m currently assisting my mother with a PPI complaint with Barclaycard (formerly an egg card taken out Online in Q1 of 2004). I would really appreciate if someone could categorically tell me that EGG had the PPI box pre-ticked during Q1 of 2004 i.e. they have been successful in calming miss-sold PPI with egg. I would be especially over the moon if someone could tell me that it was not possible to proceed with the application if this box was not ticked as that seems of a complete own goal by egg. Barclaycard have offered us quite a chunk of a refund due to Plevin, but my mother believes she did not knowingly apply of the PPI insurance, which would be the case if the box was pre-ticked. We are is still the early stages i.e. we stated that we believed we have been miss-sold to Barclays and the 1st letter had was this Plevin offer, but we still have not sent our evidence nor our full reasons of the miss-selling to Barclaycard as of yet. Note: Barclaycard have stated the application was made online, I have no way to confirm this, but I have a paper copy of the 15 year old agreement from egg which I found filed away. The card is still active and has PPI premiums ongoing although I have made her paid off the balance of the card (+£2000). Any Help is much appreciated.

Hi Had a BC from 2003 - 2017. PPI Claim went in through Resolver 2018. BC Paid over payment of coms under Plevin ruling, so i pushed to FOS. FOS rejected on both occasions. I passed my case to a CMC. They have told me that i have a reasonable chance of winning a claim, but there just inst the money in it for them to proceed. (apparently a claim to the value c£2.5k). Is this worth continuing with, and putting a legal claim in? Thanks G

Hi All I have instigated a PPI claim to Lloyd's bank regarding credit card PPI. I have sent paperwork including a copy of my CCA where the PPI box is ticked. They now wish to speak to me on the phone as they need further information Is this a wise move to answer them and can I shoot myself in the foot by answering questions incorrectly. Many Thanks

Hi I'm a newbie here and could do with some advice regarding my Mother in Law. She showed me some old solicitors paperwork yesterday from when she took a mortgage advance cheque back in 1995 for £33,000. On the breakdown, there is a payment to Chartered Trust for £8057.00. She thinks it was PPI. Anyone know if this is worth pursuing and if so where to start? Thanks

Hi Everyone, Happy New Year to all I know this is probably a really stupid question so please don't shout at me (I'm not well at the moment) ... I am wanting to get my PPI reclaims underway and I wondered if making a claim would resurrect any old debts? If that even makes sense? Is it better to do myself or through the "Resolver" reclaiming tool from the Money Saving Expert website - it's free but there's no mention of doing as SAR? Thanks in advance

around 1999 we bought a car on finance from Yes Car Credit, I think it was a 3 year plan but after approx one year I became ill and lost my job, we could not keep up the payments so they came and collected the car eventually. ironically, the PPI we paid was supposed to cover illness, yet we were told not so, so we basically told them to pick the car up. my questions are: as we paid some PPI, can we claim it back? I cannot remember which bank we were with, does that matter? are Gladstone Brooks any good?

In about 2003 I bought a digital camera from a high street electrical shop on hire purchase. The finance was provided by a company called Halifax Cetelem. I think they are gone now but that their affairs are looked after by Barclays Partner Finance. I wrote to Barclays Partner Finance about PPI on this old HP loan but they have written back saying they can't local an account in my name. I am not sure where to go with this now. Did any other company's take over old Halifax Cetelem accounts? I did read online that some people have been successful in claiming from barclays partner finance but they seemed to have old copies of their loan agreement which I unfortunately don't have. Anything I can do?

I had a credit card in 2002 to 2003 with The Associates and they were later taken over by Citibank but during the Assoicates time, 2002 I had PPI on the card. Can anyone tell me please where I would send my claim for a refund on ppi. I was self employed in 2002 and was mis sold the ppi. With the letter for a refund do I have to send a copy of the financial ombudsmen questionnaire? Also can I send the form to the financial-ombudsmen on line? Appreciate any help you can give me.

I had a loan account with Northern Rock which I defaulted on and they subsequently sold it on to Cabot. The account has been staute barred for about 15 years. I recently made a tentative equiry regarding PPI, via a claims company, as I heard that it shouldn't affect the statute barred status. I have been advised that Northern Rock have accepted the claim and a refund of approx £1100 is due and will pay it directly to myself. They also say that they will advise Cabot to update their account details too. To receive the refund I have to sign an acceptance form which says that this ends any PPI liability etc. However there is also a condition that states that I accept that the cash loan is still in force. My question is this: Even though NR sold the debt to Cabot will my acceptance of this condition for NR constitute activity that will affect the statute barred status, thus "starting the clock again" and therefore give Cabot licence to start demanding payments from me. And also as the PPI is seperated from the original loan, which now doesnt belong to NR, are they entitled to make this a condition of acceptance. My limited understanding was that as the debt was sold on, then my PPI claim was the only issue. I'd appreciate any advice as I could really use the refund.

After lots of reading and research, I'm going to attempt to claim the PPI for a loan that I took out with The Associates, before they became a part of CitiFinancial Europe.A I was a student at the time with, two young children aged under 3 at the time. It was the first time I'd borrowed money and I took the loan out to help pay for their nursery fees after a mess-up with my Student finance. So glad those days are behind me now! They have recently paid out PPI for a credit card that I had with them. They stated that they couldn't find any details of the loan but would look at it again, if I sent them documentation relating to my account. I did - I found my credit agreement, a statement of account that showed all the payments that I had made on the account (bar the final one). I also found various letters that showed the Associates account number and the account number when Citi took over. I even have a letter informing me of the "exciting change" of their name change from Associates Capital Corporation to CitiFinancial Europe PLC, on 11 April 2003 Despite all this irrefutable evidence, they will not investigate my complaint any further as they cannot locate my account on their system. As the loan was taken out in 2000, it is out of scope for the FOS. Therefore my intention is to issue a claim through the small claims court. I'm going to need some help with calculations. This is because I have read about 4 different ways of calculating the redress and it's doing my head in! My figures are as follows Loan amount = £1050 Insurance = £400.17 Arrangement fee = 75.00 Interest rate was 3.020% APR 48.8% Any suggestions and/or help with calculations will be appreciated. I've had a stab at it and will post up what I've done shortly. Thanks in advance CAG family!

Step-daughter had a loan with Beneficial Bank back in 2006. Part of it was to repay a previous loan too, so two PPI claims to be made - maybe more. Have just sent SAR to HFC Bank in Coventry to see what they can tell us. We have a copy of the 2006 agreement, detailing the loan, repayment of previous account and PPI.

Hi, need some advice if possible its for a friend of mine, she filled in a form for a credit card back in 2001 filled the form in and post it back to the abbey national and in the form she ticked the yes box for the personal protection cover, she filled the form in the branch, now she tried to claim misold ppi but they have refused her twice as they claim by ticking the ppi box she understood it was optional and it was her decision to purches the ppi,, they also claim they sent out policy documents which confirmed the ppi sale and even if this had not happened they still think you would have found benefits from the policy. can anybody give any advice on how to dispute this please,look forward to any advice thank you.

Hi everyone, I'm new one here and sorry for my mistakes, english isn't my first language ))) The question is about PPI claim. I moved to UK in 2010 and opened my bank account in Lloyds bank. Because of I didn't speak in English very well the lady in bank sold me Silver account and I didn't know I can have a free one. I knew only this year (2018) in April and I did complain through Resolver and than escalated to Ombudsman. Today I received the answer with refuse. They write it's too late because of it's more than 6 years from opening account date and I should receive the letter with AES (annual eligibility statement) in 2014. How do you think can I fight for my PPI money back or not? thanks

Since Mrs Sev was diagnosed with Lewy Bodies Disease, I managed to get all her debt written off by the various DCA's that had been hounding her since her fortunes turned for the worse. It was a long fight and in the end we got there, thanks to this forum it's community and the infinite patience of the likes of dx100uk. I am in the process of going through old paperwork with a view on trying to recover as much as I can for her to help contribute towards her ongoing care. I have found old paperwork for the following: Barclaycard Visa and Mastercard Co-OP Visa Capital One Visa Monsoon / GE Capital Russell & Bromley / GE capital Harvey Nichols / GE capital Frasercard / GE MBNA Mastercard & Visa RBS Visa Mint Mastercard. Natwest Mastercard. The paperwork consists of: some old statements but also some of them have the original fold that the card was delivered in, and some the actual PPI letter. The original signed CCA is not in any of the documents. So, my initial question is this - Should I begin by sending an SAR to each of the creditors or will the proof that I have already be enough? We probably have statements going back as well, but these might not be for the full term going back to when the card was taken out. I may well send SAR to Barclaycard as I am sure that she took out a Barclayloan or two in the past. I'll be honest, the ones I hope most to get something from are GE and MBNA for their relentless harassment in the past. thanks in advance Sev.
