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.
I took out a loan with the above in March 99 for 36 months. Due to various ongoing financial problems I have been unable for the last 5 years to pay the required payment, but have made intermittent small payments until recently as our position has deteriorated.

I would start by sending them a Subject access request the fee you will be required to pay is £10.00.
They must then supply you with a true copy of the credit agreement together with the terms and conditions applicable at the time of the agreement, statement of account and any other data namely letters and other recorded details against you as a data subject. They have 40 days to comply with the request by law. If they fail to meet the deadline then complain to the Information Commissioners Office.
You can cancel the PPI premium and if you have solid ground for claiming mis-sold PPI claim back all the premiums paid plus the interest on them and Statutory 8% interest on top as would be awarded if you won in court.
hope this gets you on the road to get your cash back

Keep at them. Do not give way and do not accept all they tell you, they will delay and stall for as long as they can to prevent repaying you your mis-sold PPI.
