Capital One PPI claim

[zacjake007]

Hi,

 

I got the card in 1998 and closed the account in 2008. When I phoned Cap One yesterday they informed me I ticked the box for ppi on the application form.At the time of the application I thought that if you did not have ppi you would not get the card. Is it still worth claiming for a refund?

This is a typical first response from Capone. Have they provided a copy of the agreement where they say that you ticked the box ?

Hi and welcome to CAG

 

If the PPI was mis-sold then you can put in claim. That box may have been pre-ticked. There are sometimes two or three reasons why ppi was mis-sold.

 

Have a read of this thread for other reasons for mis-selling

Have you got all of your statements? If not then SAR them (Subject Access Request). There is a template for SAR in the CAG library, the link to which is at the top of every VAG page in green. Add a paragraph that says you want a copy of the agreement.

 

From the information that comes back it should be possible to prepare a spreadsheet showing the amount of your claim.

 

Also pop along to the fos website and download a copy of the consumer questionnaire ready for completion. While you are there have a read of some of the case study PDFs.

 

Also have a look around at other threads in the PPI forum to get up to speed.

Hi,

 

SAR sent yesterday.

 

They have 40 calendar days to comply with the request - Capone are likely to take every one of those days.

 

Let us know when you receive a response.

I have a claim in with Capital One at the moment - letter sent 29th Feb - they wrote to me on 10th April advising that the will get back to me within 7 weeks of their letter. Bit crafty that, giving themselves a big extension of time but there you go! Quite a few years ago I cancelled the PPI over the phone and I verbally asked if it could be repaid as I've never asked for it and I was told it couldn't as I'd ticked a box. Requested copy of the form and they sent it to me at the time and I left it at that. Now with so much attention on PPI mis-selling I went back over the form and you can just make out (it seems they've tried to hide this in their photocopy) an X next to the signature section, a tick next to PPI box and another X for me to sign where the PPI box was. They've obviously just sent me a form telling me to sign where indicated and I've done just that. In this case the box was pre-ticked by a person (not a printed X) so that's a bit naughty - we'll see how I get on!

I'd start your own thread for this.

 

Don't forget they have 8 weeks from the date of receipt of your complaint to give you a decision

Thanks IMS21 - this was more in response to zacjake007, to show that I've got a copy of my form where I've 'signed' to request PPI but that the X's were already put there for me by CAPONE staff! I'll bet their form was pre-ticked too!

[zacjake007]

Thanks for the information from all of you.

Hi,

 

Received my paperwork yesterday. It shows that I did tick the box for PPI. But I will still make a claim.

 

Also they sent me another customers leter with their card details etc by mistake,what should I do wiyh this?

[sillygirl1]

I like telling people who use the 'well you ticked the box' that 'when you joined the company you work for did you tick the box that said you had no common sense?'...

 

Cap1 are naughty giving themselves an extension - report them to the OFT/Trading Stgandards/FOS. The rules are very clear.

This is a breach of the DPA so you should lodge a formal complaint with the Information Commissioner. You might also like to contact the person who's details you have received in error as they might also like to lodge a formal complaint about this breach.
