I assume, as PPI will soon be over, that a lot of the firms currently handling PPI complaints will switch and target PDL complaints.

 

I have started complaining about the PDLs I had, being prepared to take it to FOS and court, and I am curious how this will end.

Reading this has changed my mind about complaining to the FOS. Had any reasonable checks been done lenders would have seen how unmanageable the situation had become.

 

I've downloaded all transactions from my bank and will send this the complaint and see where it goes.

 

I don't excuse my part in the mess but the lender plays their part too.

 

We shall see. I hope it goes my way.

 

Wonder if that's why some lenders have gone out the market so they don't have to pay anything back

Hi rodgerramjet,

 

Glad I am not alone in making complaints in this direction. The more the better

 

Make sure (similar to successful PPI complaints) that you complain to the PDL first asking for refund and give them at least 8 weeks to resolve before taking it to FOS. Once you have final response from PDL it can go straight to FOS. Also do not forget to add 8% interest on the fees/interests/charges you paid to PDLs.

It's a shot in the dark but having looked at the figures it's frightening

 

Roughly it works out at 30k borrowed and 52k paid back

 

Feel sick

The more complaints made to the Financial Ombudsman the better, apparently each lender is allowed 25 'free' complaint investigations by the fos - Thereafter they are charged £550 per complaint

I am making the complaint and I will back it up with bank info
