Old HFC loan now SB by over a decade - can we claim for PPI ?

[mooshy]

Hello

My ex husband and I had a loan with the HFC years ago-approx. 18 years

It was for 5000.

 

We got behind with payments and def had PPI which actually we could ill afford and both working for NHS didn't need .

 

I think with interest rates , charges and PPI I remember working out once that the 5 year loan had limped into 8 or more years and we had paid back something like a couple of thousand more than the original loan and still owed a couple of thousand !

 

last payment was over ten years ago and weve heard nothing for most of this time until this year .

 

My husband has moved out as weve amicably separated and I received a letter which was from a DCA saying the debt had been assigned to them in 2013 and what were proposals to pay

- as weve definitely left this behind over 10 years ago I didn't think any action would be forth coming .

 

I did however take note that we now have an account number

-- the one thing that stopped me reclaiming ppi a few years ago .

 

With my ex`s blessing as its joint loan would it be worth me sending a CCA and starting a ppi claim or may I risk a bad print again on our CRA files ?

Thanks

Yes of course you can reclaim

Send HFC an sar

 

As for the dca (totally powerless-they are not baillifs)

There is. Nothing they can do

The debt is statute barred

 

Same for it coming back on credit files

Defaulted more than 6 yrs ago

Gone from your file forever

OOh thank you .

Do you think SAR is always the first step ?

Could I just fill out the PPI online form supplied by the ombudsman ?

So you know how much you should get back?

I would never trust HFC as far as I could kick them

True!! I had many loans,( including at least one mortgage which had payment protection),

with this company going right back to when they were Midland Bank… all were paid in full.

 

 

I still have all the account numbers and have provided them to HSBC with the intention of claiming PPI.

 

 

They have refused to accept them, saying they no longer have the details, etc., etc...

If you have the information and copies of documentation to prove it they should be able to use that.
