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.

As dx states you can cancel in which case you should get a rebate and then you can claim all the payments you have made including the interest and also ask for the 8% statutory interest on top.
Do not agree to another loan they can adjust the existing loan/s.
If they refuse to cancel send a SAR asking for all the documentation..
When determining whether a policy is suitable, a seller – whether a lender or an agent for the insurer – must obviously take into consideration any information the prospective policyholder volunteers. However, we do not consider the seller’s duty is limited simply to recording what the borrower discloses. It is only by asking questions that the seller can properly determine suitability. These questions cannot cover every aspect of a borrower’s personal position and should not be expected to do so. To paraphrase the ABI Statement, only those matters deemed to be relevant by the insurer should be the subject of questions.
have a good read through all of the stickies as dx suggests and also tap into a few threads to see how other caggers are fighting back.

PPI Successes
PPI 4 settlements on 9 loans. FOS involvement on 7 added on the 8 % Statutory interest another 30% to both.

Please do not PM me for advice as it may be sometime before I can respond.
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.

Alanalana - Can you please confirm that if you do cancel the PPI then the APR must stay the same as when you took the loan out?
I would agree with this no new loan so apr remains the same unless of course they want to reduce it
you are not changing agreement, so they cannot change it.
Agree with dx again.
Best to make life as difficult for them as they have been doing to you.

keep in touch mangle would be good to compare the replys we get i have again tried to cancel the agreements but they keep saying ive got to take out a new loan im expecting a reply about refunding the PPI so will keep posting on this.
curiously in cancelling our insurance in the loan, we are being sent out new papers to sign as the loan monthly payment is being reduced. the apr is remaining the same as is the term but she said in effect you are taking out a new loan so we have to sign a new agreement (we also will not have to pay for 3 months - Halifax do this as std wth their new loans) is this right ?
a sort of fire-fighting role here. Hate HFC & their past compulsory PPI ethos

Re: single premium ppi?
my feelings are they're upto something sneaky...
i'm SURE i've read here that no lender can MAKE you take out a new loan because you have cancelled the PPI attached to one.
its it someone regs.
but, i suppose that as long as the completion date, APR and repayments remain the same, then there are no issues, but in saying that, if nothing other than the monthly repayments are changing, then why is it necessary for them to do it?

as is the term(NO it is definately not right) This is the stick back to full term.
we also will not have to pay for 3 months. This is to take your eye off the ball (This is the carrot)
You do not have to take out a new loan. The old loan should remain but with the PPI element removed and the payments re-adjusted to reflect the removal of the PPI payments. Do not accept if they say the repayments will be reduced but not by the amount you would expect with the PPI removed. They may well use various arguments as in my fight but after the fos became involved the repayment figures on the loan were further reduced.
Now if you sign a new loan agreement with the same term ie over the same length of time you would be committing to pay the full period of the loan again it may be the same APR but if you have paid say, 20 months of a loan over 60 months then you are basically committing to paying for 60 months again which extends the loan, when in fact you have already paid 20 months of your loan off.
This is why you should not sign a new agreement the old one if adjusted to remove the PPI will in fact mean you will only have the remaining period of the loan to pay off and not a new extension to the lenth of the term ie back to to 60 months.

ahh cheers dude, it could well be a document to modify the first agreement, but she was not clear on the phone, I will check everything and read the small print before the wife signs anything. Might well pop back in this thread to get some advice.
If it is a new loan and the old one is cancelled, the new loan is the same apr and loan term and nothing has changed, if the wife did sign it, it will not affect any mis-selling claims going through I assume ?
Alanalana - thank you for your response too, I understand what you mean, my wife's been paying back the loan for 4 years of a 7 year agreement and the loan payments minus the PPI only went down from £269 to £262. Woman said that only £211 was left to pay on the insurance over the course of the loan. (Insurance and interest totalled around £4,500) I though it was bit low and there is no rebate coming back either (although I am using the fact that my wife was not told there was a pro-rata rebate for cancelling the loan on a single premium PPI as an example of mis-selling)
Guess I will wait for the papers and Breakdown to come through in the post
just an update ive been sent new loan agreements but ive just ignored them and im still waiting on Barclays response to my initial complaint regarding PPI. they reckon they didnt recieve them so ive had to start again from scratch and just filled in their why do you think youve been missold questionnaire how convenient!!!!!

I would send any future mail by recorded signed for delivery that way you can track through the Royal Mail online service. It costs a bit more but it cuts out the "WE DID NOT RECEIVE YOUR LETTER" as you will have proof of delivery.

I have had the loan papers back from Halifax, its a revised credit agreement, same APR, same term left. However they are still saying it will not resume until 3 months after they receive the signed papers back. ( I know they will charge interest on the loan during this period but a 3 month payment holiday would come in handy)
does all this sound ok to you ? and I assume it will not affect my is-selling complaint for the PPI on this loan ?
incidentally they have issued a new account number and stated the current loan account number as old on the papers, is this normal?
no worries pompey seems like were facing the same issue anyway, i did wonder though if they know something is wrong with the agreements and are trying to sort this out by asking us to enter into new agreements, all for the sake of cancelling the PPI?
