Default on a mission v ppi

Hello, I am at the court part in claiming back my bank charges from the nat west. I am now on a mission to claim back ppi from loans taken with the NatWest, abbey and *&*, I feel reading this thread that I did have a choice that I didn't know I had and was pressured and mislead into agreeing to pay for them. I feel digusted that the banks pray on the weak and hardworking and that have less to give them more.

so wish me luck. I am going to have a good shot at it.

Default Re: on a mission v ppi

Hello, I have copied the Subject Access Request Template for the PPI and posted it to the NatWest, abbey and *&*, I have given them the £10 fee which I grudge them but it will be money well spent if I win.

So lets wait and see what their response is

Let the war begin. I am so ready!!!!!!!

Thanks for your response, I do believe you are quite famous!
This website has given me a lot of confidence and it is so nice to know that help and advice is there if you need it. I know I will probably go to pieces at the first hurdle. At the moment I have suddenly had my eyes opened with the immoral going ons in these organizations. I have been passive in the past and felt the bank had my interests at heart and was always directed by them. What a fool I have been they have taken me for £1,000's and I just sat back and let them take my money thinking that this was part of the loan.

I will not sit back any more. I will give them a run for MY MONEY!

Default Re: on a mission v ppi

Hello,

Well today I received my SARs request forms *&*. Approximately half a tree. It would have cost more than £10 to post it. It contains all info about my credit card and loan details. I am only interested about the loan side at the moment and will leave the cc till later.

The first thing I noticed was the credit agreement for a loan I took out in 2002 for £20,000 Section 3 was insurance details. £4,060.29 plus interest of £1,413.67 totalling £5,453.96. Jesus!!!! Nowhere on the form is any option box. I was under the impression that to get the loan, I did not have any option but to take out the interest.

They have also ommited to send me their written correspondence regarding the details of the loan and any repayments. Terms and conditions of the ppi. and if they explained about any option regarding the ppi. I have telephoned Customer Support and have pointed out about the lack of their correspondence to me and she said she will have a look for them. They did however managed to find 2 letters from them telling me I have gone over my credit limit for my c card and charged accordingly.

I am really disgusted with myself for allowing them to do this without questioning it. It was not till I watched Sir Trevor did I realise that I actually did have the right not to take it out. I am so thick that I did not realise what it was actually for.

I am on a mission.

yours extremely knaffed off

It may be worth letting them Know that they only have 40 Days from the receipt of your S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) to supply the information. Failing to supply the required information within the 40 Days is an Offence..

You will find just like the banks.. They are bothered about the customer, they are only bothered about their Shareholders.. Its all Business for profit mowadays. Before I found CAG I always used to look up to bank managers... Now I treat them the way they have treated me.. Like something on the botton of your shoe..

Thanks for your reply,

They are very crafty aren't they. I have rung them and she is going to have another look for their written correspondence. yea right!!!! like she didn't realise she needed to send that.!!!!!drrrrr.

The Abbey is even worse all they sent was one years statements that I actually already have.

*&* have given me great hope with the credit agreement that I have been mis-sold their ppi as I wasn't given any option or iformation about, it was just part of the loan.

NatWest haven't sent anything.

Anyway I will wait and see what they come up with.

Got some good news today my daughter has just received £1400 from the Halifax for bank charges. They caved in before lba deadline.

I am sure somebody has read this, but it made good sense to me. Is this what we hit them with. I found it in the legalities section. Or am I barking up the wrong tree.

Hi Ian, Have a look at this site. It looks much more offical.

Fraud Bill [HL]

Since this post, we have now realised to our detriment that the fraud act cannot be used in the mis-selling of ppi.

We can still get them anyway without it

Thanks Sandra,
I have added a couple of the ACTS from the Fraud Act into my statement of claim now.. I did give GE Money up till noon today to re open discussions regarding my complaint.. Not surprised that it fell on deaf ears though. I can only pressume that after they got sorted out by the FSA last week that they may be a little bit busy at the momment ..lol

So Its off to the Post Office in the Morning and get the Paperwork sent off to Wolverhampton Court.

HI Ian,

I have pm'ed Bank Fodder about the Fraud Act to see if he knows that is up and running. I do hope he doesn't mind. The mods and site helpers all seem to be busy helping everybody with the bank charges at present. You are the expert with the ppi. and your advice and support is greatly valued. Good luck with your claim.

I am just waiting to receive the extra info from *&* regarding their correspondence about my loan and ppi. It appears I was not given an option regarding the ppi. So as soon as I get the letters, I will be starting the legal process. I will probably need hep with my letters.l
