PPI Refunds - How does this work?

[redfox]

I'm hoping someone can tell me how to go about this and what is the criteria for being able to claim back this money? My friend bought a car on finance and had to take out PPI for £4500!!! They wouldn't let him have the finance without the PPI.

I would appreciate any information available.

Thank you

The first step is to submit a Subject Access Request to obtain copies of all the relevent documents. The standard fee for this is £10.

	Subject Access Request A Subject Access Request is a demand which you can make to any organisation to disclose any personal information which they hold on you. The right to disclosure of data is provided by the Data Protection Act. There is no time limit. The organisation is obliged to reveal everything they have about you - which you ask for - as far back as you ask for. There are very few exceptions. It does not matter whether the data is held on microfiche, in an archive, on tape, in a cardex system, in sound recordings or in screen notes. Some companies are saying that they do not have to disclose where it would be difficult to do so - "disproportionate effort". This is untrue. Disproportionate effort refers to something else under the Act. If you are seeking bank charges information then you should ask for "all data held on you" and you should make it clear that you want everything as far back as it goes. Do not be put off by excuses. Do not accept being fobbed off. It is not in your bank's interest to make full disclosure to you. This means that it is in your interests to get it. If you have not started gathering your bank charges information yet, then you should start now. There will soon be a big rush once the OFT test case has been settled. Get all of your bank account informtion as far back as possible. At least as far back as 1995. If your bank says that they don't keep data as far back as this, don't accept it. Be persistent. They've got what you need in some form or other.

Hi, I'm in the same boat. Having got "the bug" through writing a rude letter to Barclaycard and getting all of my wife's premiums refunded (only £53.64 but a victory all the same) I would like to do the same for my mother-in-law. Her position is slightly different and is as follows:
She has had, at points, quite large outstanding balances on her MBNA card. When she got the card in 2001/02 she took the PPI because she was worried, due to the size of the balances, that if there was a medical / health problem and she couldn't work, she didn't have enough spare cash to cover the repayments and would default.
When she had a Cancer scare in 2005 she called NatWest (another creditor) they stumped up immediately. MBNA on the other hand said, "Terribly sorry, you're no longer covered because we've changed the rules" She had paid premiums for the whole time she had this MBNA card and is insistant that she was never informed of this change to the policy.
My problem is that she has destroyed all of her old paperwork including anything that she may have signed, boxes she may have ticked etc.
How much information can I ask for with an Subject Access Request?
Can I get more than statements.
Can I still claim for her because this card and account was activated pre-regulation?
Any tips anyone......?

When you submit the Subject Access Request they have to supply all Data that they have stored regarding you & your accounts.
If you have any account numbers etc state them on the Subject Access Request too.
I would also ask for any transcripts of telephone conversations to be supplied on audio cassette. I did this with Firstplus though the quality of the recording was pretty poor I did manage to clean it up in our recording studio.

Good Luck
