Hello

in 2004 I brought my first home and arranged a mortgage with a borker alexander hall associates ltd , they found me a mortgage with abbey and they said I had to take out a life insurance with scottish provident other wise I wont get the mortgage, so I agreed. in 2006 I ended the insurance because I realised I had 5 life insurances any way and why did I needed a 6th one. infact my job covers me for death and pays alot of money .

but this broker never took in to the account that my job covers me for life insurance. i paid 38 pound a month to this insurance for no reason because i was forced to take it. today I looked at the letters i had and it shows that the insurance company paid the broker £646.93 to set up the insurance.

can I claim this money I paid to the insurance back or is there anything else I can do please advice me . Many thanks

it also states on the policy PART OF ABBEY NATIONAL GROUP , can this be the banks PPI ?

I have just spoken to scotish provident who confurmed that they where part of ABBEY in 2004 and this agreement was a PPI. i never knew .

do I take this up with ABBEY and how , I am wating for my mortgage documents to come , should I wait for this first

I spoke to abbey today about the insurance they stated that the insurance company had nothing to do with them , i pointed out that in 2004 this company was owned by abbey . they turned around and said no , well on the letters I have it says ABBEY NATIONAL GROUP . the lady over the phone stated that I have to make the complaint to the broker who originaly sold me the PPI and it has nothing to do with the bank . is this true please help

I am unsure as to whether anyone could help on this forum as it is for PPI reclaims.

I have looked for other forums that maybe able to help without success.

Maybe a member of the site team could help?

aa

My understanding is that you need to pursue the Broker for misselling. Have you checked that the life insurances you had covered everything that the other policy you took out through the broker covered?

I spoke to the ombudsman today they stated they will write to the broker demanding my money back lets see what happens

recaived a letter from the borker who thinks they have done their job proparly , drafted a letter and sent all my proofs to FSO. Broker also wrote on his letter this case is not under FSO juristiction therefore you need to get legal advice.

well letter with the proofs sent to fSO they did not come back to me to say they wont deal , I will be so happy if they do cus cannot wait to see the face of the person who wrote me the letter from the broker when they find out infact it is under juristiction hehehe.

I have proof clearly shows that life insurance was part of the mortgage infact its on the fact sheet the broker gave me years ago lol.

it also says on one of the Brokers letters which was sent to me years ago that some lenders will charge fee if I dont take up life insurance with them surely this is a clear indication that I was bullied in to this agreement.

On their nastly letter it also mentions that I failed to let them know that I get 1 year sick pay and large amount of money when I die from my employer , well they had my payslip that clearly shows Statutory Sick Pay and life insurance lol

well they have no leg to stand on 4 years of premium of £1.812 and 8% interest .

I will take them to court if need being but lets wait and see what FSO going to say .
