1st thing I thought. For the record it was Alliance and Leicester and they dealt with the complaint very well and decently. From what ive read cant see it being so easy with mbna.

Hello crugga!

Are you going after the MBNA?

Just asking, as they are more or less Top of my own Hit List at the moment, mainly for Loan PPI, but also for Card Charges.

Cheers,
BRW

Gonna have a go, only thing was I was not self employed when they started however I even now could not tell you what i'm covered for which is enough of an excuse for a missale. 1st I knew was a letter telling may theyd reduced my ppi payments so I just didnt really know i'd got it.

Hello Crugga!

Rather than hi-jack this Thread, if you could perhaps keep me posted via my own MBNA PPI Thread below:

MBNA PPI Unsecured Loans Eyes Wide Shut

Or let me know when you start your own MBNA PPI Thread, I'll try to keep you posted on any progress I make.

Cheers,

Hi guys and gals hope someone can help me.

I took out a personal loan with NatWest 15 months ago and although i did not request insurance proptection, It was added to the loan. I have just found out aboutit and immediately cancelled the cover.

I have also figured out that the £6000 i have paid out in the form of this cover has not actually reduced the loan at all. I was under the impression that as soon as i took the loan, I would be paying off the capital and interest immediately.

Can i make a claim against them for this misselling? Any template letters available?

I've just sorted out 2 successful claims for friends.
One direct to the bank which resulted in the refund of premium, interest, bank charges & some expenses and a huge reduction in the loan interest rate.

The other, which was a complaint to the Ombudsman has just resulted in a payment of £18K and went back well over 6 years!!!!

If one of the moderators can point me in the right direction to set up a thread, I've got some interesting tips, experience & arguements to pass on.

ps I don't log on that often so if anyone pm's me or adds to my thread it may take time to reply.

THANK YOU ALL

Hi folks and Many Congratulations to you all on your successes of winning your claims. .

Here is my update, our complaint about Nemo went to the FOS NOV 2006, it went in our favour in 2007 where were were paid out just under £13K of ppi in Jan 2008....... .

We did actually pay off Nemo last August 2007 and remortgaged, so what was owed to us was paid directly to us by cheque payments. .

Onwards and upwards to us all. .

Now to move on with others, Endeavour is one of them but 'click finance' found us this loan, and cannot find the docs on them and tried googling, and still cannot find the details, however we do have endeavours, who will just tell us to write to click, so if anyone has any details on click will be happy to hear from you, thanks folks and all the best to everyone claiming.

Di.

Hi Ian.

Thanks for that, I appreciate this very much indeed. .

Its knowing who to write to really as its been a few years now (2003) since having a loan from them, so not sure where we stand in this case.

So I assume click are still up and running then ?

Many thanks again.

Hiiiiiippppppeeeeeee!!! I have just received a cheque today for £2091.03 (this being ppi premiums I have paid to date). Added to this £5680.05 (actual PPI) plus £2194.91 (PPI interest) to date.

I guess I do feel a sense of victory,. however as Firstplus had not really put up any fight, it does seem a bit hollow. I now move on to Endeavour Personal Finance......awaiting my S.A.R as I have requested......£10 cheque has been cashed.

To all I say ......KEEP THE FAITH!!!!!!!
