Thread: welcome ppi amongst other things

a long time since i last did a claim so asking around for advance notice of new tactics

a friend has a claim for roughly 3k PPI against welcome which i'm kindly doing for them. just about to get started so wondering if theres anything new on the ppi front as it's been about 18 months since i last did one. last i read there was some investigation into insurance premium tax? also SFO investigations?

plus.... the same account had 8k added to it without reason which my friend paid off without questioning.

as this was all done in 2004-2005 were welcome fsa regulated then? so can i take it to fos

There have been a few tactical changes.

The banks etc will try and delay responses to CCA,SAR requests until the very last minute. They will also attempt not to provide everything you ask for in the SAR. You may also get extremely poor copies of documents to hinder you further. If this should happen then an immediate complaint to the Information Commissioners Office, Financial Services Authority and the Office of Fair Trading is IMO a must.

Your should ask for a full expanation of the additional £8k which was added to the account.
