Hi,
Bit of a story but advice required.
In 2001 I took out a mortgage and credit card under the Norther Rock Together deal, this was joint with my ex-wife.
We split and divorced in 2004 and have had no contact since.
I then hit financial difficulties culminating in entering an IVA in 2011.
On recently checking my old agreements, I found that one of my creditors - Northern Rock had PPI on the agreement. Yes, I did sign the agreement originally with PPI ticked however, this was completed through an independant agent whom I cannot recall who stated we needed PPI to get the deal as this was our first house.
The rate was 69p per £100. We did borrow a lot on the cards initially to complete repairs etc to the new house but this was settled in 2004/5 when the house sold, but when i hit financial difficulty, i naivley replied on the cards to get by and this is where the real trouble began. I was the principle card holder on the account.
I am aware that moneys received if I was successful in a claim that money would go over to IVA and this potentially will clear the balance owed to Northern Rock now in the IVA.
Is it worth persuing a claim?
