Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
Hi all would be grateful for your input.
Have been reading about PPI miss selling and i am concerned about the way PPi has been applied in my case apart from the fact i was retired and have a pension why was i sold it? There are other issues about this this agreement which i will go into later re its un-enforceability.
Also have found this relating to the PPI on the above agreement the loan is for 10 years but the PPi looks like it was only in place for 5 years (even tho i didnt want it). Confused i am.

Hi
Thanks for the reply HHNF and the answer to both your questions is NO
Not that i even realized that there was a third party involved.
I was wondering about phoning the Insurance Co and asking about their medical exclusions. Do you think that would wise.
Another point, would the agreement become unenforceable as the charge for PPI and the loan are lumped together, i think i read somewhere that they should be separate items, or am i clutching at straws.
Thanks again AL.

Hello E,
Don't know if you have read this thread regarding multiple agreements very interest and makes you look at things from a different angle
These cases are rather complex, you have the broker, the lender and the insurance company who all had a bite of the cherry.
Personally I would be writing to them all, for there version of events

I did phone the insurance company today spoke to a very helpful girl who informed me that as i was retired the policy should never had been sold to me
as you can see on GE's copy of the agreement they have me down as semi-retired
Except on my customer copy i have something entirely different
some scull-duggery is afoot maybe. Just out of interest there appear to be several differences between my customer copy and a GE CCa request copy

it comes as no surprise you were never given t&c,s from pinnacle.i think this may have been the main swinging point in ge refunding one of our policy,s.you will need to push ge all the way ,we had to file at court .maybe an SAR to pinnacle ,include all chat logs ,sounds like an admittance by pinnacle that the policy was not suitable but they were still ok about administering it .might be worth ringing the fos to make that point ,although i don,t think they can help in reclaiming recovery of your PPI
Hi Lilal
Well Pinnacle were the insurers and GE were the creditors but it was a third party(broker) that issued the loan (thanks HH) so lots of commission flying about no doubt. but Ge issued the loan so im going to bash them, they have taken my money when they should not have. Also the the agreement is flawed
it should be a multiple agreement showing the loan and the PPI seperately not all lumped into one agreement. Im going to get my PPI back then im going to Hit them with an unenforcable agreement.

If you are getting no luck with GE Money you can indeed take your complaint to the fos and it maybe a better option because if they do not uphold your complaint you still have the court route to use where as if you went to the court first and they did not uphold that it end of your complaint.
The only drawback with using the FOS first is as you can imagine they are getting snowed under with complaints and it could take 6 to 12 months to resolve but they are upholding 80% of claims so is worth considering.
Should you choose to use the FOS also remember it costs you nothing but will cost GE Money £450 but court route there are fees involved which you will have to pay if your complaint is not upheld.
unfortunately ge weren,t members of the gisc so the fos aren,t able to help against ge .ge must be given time to address your issues as you know ,then they,ll offer you the fla ,i wasted 3 months waiting for them to make a decision ,only for them to decide that "oh you can go to an independant arbitrator but his say is final ".thanks but no thanks ,i trust the fla as much as i think ge are a trusting company.
i sent mine to a rupert peacock at harrow ,but was dealt with by another ge employee.i,m sure if you address it to complaints dept it will get looked at.
good luck keep posting
Lilal i understand what your saying and i am in this for the long run and figured it would take court action to get my money back having read a few threads about GE earlier.
So tomorrow i am sending GE a SAR (thanks HHNF) special delivery, to get all the statements ect so i can tot up all the interest they have added, and if i have got this right add 8% and contractual interest, please correct me if i am wrong on the interest bit.

That is correct you can claim the contractual rate as that is what they have charged you plus 8% simple interest as this what the court or fos would award you on top because they have in effect borrowed that money from you to lend to someone else.

3.You have included a description of Standard Abbreviations Thank You. I would ask you to forward either your Special or Non Standard Abbreviation List, which includes descriptions of abbreviations such as, MVC, ACD, RDR to list but a few.
4.Could you also explain this statement.
’Information not held within a relevant filing system has not been provided under this Subject access request’. It goes on to say, ‘There maybe additional accounts with us that relate to your client. If you require information regarding these accounts or if there is any other information, which you may think we hold please write to us with the following to assist us in locating it:

You have until March the 30th to fulfil my request

I just had the fos adjudicator rule in my favour with respect to PPI on my loan with GE Money (arranged by Loans.co.uk). The actually found LCUK at fault. LCUK is refusing to accept the adjudicator's opinion so my case is now going to the Ombudsman for a final ruling. The FOS are excellent and very helpful. They are slow but I say go to them the minute you get rejected by GE Money (and your complaint is certain to be rejected by GE Money and the third party arranger).
I filed my complaint in January 2008. For 10 months, I kept getting letters saying that "due to the number of new complaints, it has not been able to assign your complaint to a caseworker but we hope to be able to do so within the next four weeks"! In November I got mad and wrote my MP. Within two weeks, I heard from an adjudicator and was told that he was handling my complaint! Less than a month later, I received a letter upholding my complaint.
I have since learnt that if you have severe financial difficulties, you can ask for expedited consideration. If this is the case for you, make certain you mention it.
Once my case was allocated, I found the fos very helpful and very fast.
One thing to note: you cannot complain to the fos until you receive a letter from your lender saying that they have made a final decision. They usually say something like "we will not enter into any further communication about this matter". When you get this obnoxious letter, you can go to the FOS.
