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 want to reclaim PPI on a personal loan taken out in 2004. I seem to remember seeing somewhere that loans taken out then don't come under FSA (or CCA?) so are not as straightforward to claim back. Is this true?
Because of this I instructed Brunel Franklin to do it on my behalf in March. They said it would take 3/4 months. I found out yesterday that they hadn't even started it yet so am very upset with them and would like to try it myself but am unsure because of the year, worried it might be more complicated.
Loan is still being paid, no late payments or anything. That side is straightforward. Reason I'm doing this now is because I was made redundant in January, got the claim form for the PPI and realised it would only cover for 12 months so there is no way they are ever going to pay back what I paid in.
Looked briefly at CCA but am unsure - don't mind paying what I owe but don't like being ripped off on PPI. Maybe I should reclaim PPI then have a look at what's happening re CCA in the market.
Agreement looks like PPI was frontloaded and I paid interest on it. I wouldn't have needed this whilst employed because I had full sick pay for 12 months.
Wasn't told anything when I took it out - just implied that I wouldn't get loan if I didn't.

Thanks. Had a look but couldn't see anything about pre-2005 loans. I'll wait and see if anyone else thinks that makes a difference before I do anything.
not sure if this helps but one of my claims is from 1998 onwards which included 3 refinancing loans, they have already made one offer which ive rejected, im sure you could make a claim it sounds as though you have grounds and currently they are going back 6 years in england and wales and 5 years in scotland, however it very much depends on the bank/company as to the response, however you always have the fos if youre not succesful. the first thing to do would be send a SAR which will give you the info you need to get started such as how many payments youve made. hope this helps
I have claimed PPI on 2 loans from 2003, both were succesful - Direct Line and RBS (both dealt with by RBS).
There is a lot of help on the forum and perhaps type up your letter and put it on the forum for someone to have a read through. If you have a read through the forums, you should fins some templates to help you.
Thanks - I am gradually going through the site, found a PPI calculator -didn't realise the interest I'd paid on it was so much. I think I will definately put the figures on the site when I'm ready and hopefully someone will check them for me. Can't believe its so much, makes me think I did it wrong.
Mine's with Northern Rock (wasn't sure I could put that on at first).
Now if you need any help with the figures i am more than willing to guide you with this Alanalana will point you to me anyway bless him lol
And you will be surprised at how the interest builds up that is because it is compounded and not simple interest
So it the compounded interest rate at the interest rate they charged you that you want back as only this will put in the position you would have been in had you not had the policy mis-sold to you.
Oh and you can put the 8% statutory s69 judicial interest rate on the total sum to as this is compensation for being without that money over a period of time.
I have no legal training and the advice I offer is a matter of support. Before you commit to any Legal action you are advised to contact a qualified legal practitioner. ------------------------------------------------
Bank charge successes:
Halifax - Full settlement incl interest.
HSBC - Settlement, goodwill no admission of liability about 75% of claim.
RBS - Settlement, goodwill no admission of liability about 70% of claim.
2 ongoing claims for bank charges with HSBC with more to come. (Supreme Court ruling could have upset these claims) They did
PPI Successes
PPI 4 settlements on 9 loans. FOS involvement on 7 added on the 8 % Statutory interest another 30% to both.
2 claims settled in full with LV without FOS involvement.
2 claims settled in full with HSBC without FOS involvement
PPI Claims ongoing with:
Cap one Now with the FOS
Barclays. Paid up today 24/04/10 cheque received for over £4,500 and in the bank.
LTSB still have to decide on this as their SAR production was abysmal. Papers data mixed up documents missing etc
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.
Thanks, I hope to send the first letter this week (not had much luck finding the templates yet, a link someone gave me didn't work) so will cancel it then.
great they have 40 days to comply this is statutory as per DPA 1998 so put a note on your fone or calender when there time is up oh and allow 2 days i delivery
Why have I sent a Subject Access report and not a CCA request? Is it because I should get a copy of the credit agreement included with Subject access request docs?
If I don't get a copy of CCA and they say they don't have it, am I in a position to reclaim PPI and make loan unenforceable?
I still have my copy of CCA so know what I've paid etc anyway.
Posted Subject Access Report to Northern Rock on 7 July and received their reply today. As far as I can tell they seem to have included everything - including a copy of my original loan agreement. They sent it to me via recorded delivery.
I vaguely remembered that years ago I sent a letter asking to cancel PPI and interestingly this is noted on one of their print outs as "Ltd from cust dated 09.11.05 requesting to canx PPI ... passed to sales to deal ... Cus hung up". I did send letter but heard nothing back. I rang at one point and spoke to sales who advised I could not cancel PPI without having to obtain new loan that I might not get. At no time did I hang up on them! They haven't sent me a copy of my letter - assume they should have but don't know if its a big deal.
I think my next step is to find the second letter I should send if anyone can help me find it? From that I hope I will be able to work out what figures go in it but will probably need help working them out!!
Re: Northern Rock PPI claim - please help with figures!
Right, found a letter on Financial Mail, thisismoney that I like and that someone had linked on here. Now for the figures .... I will play with spreadsheet again later to see what i get but can someone else be very kind and check me as it seemed high last time I tried it.
Details on loan agreement are:
Loan amount £12,000
Payment Protection £5821.20
Amount of credit £17821.20
Total charge for credit £6,192
Total amount payable £24,013.20
APR 6.4%
Payble by 120 monthly instalments of £200.11
Also, does this mean it was front loaded and I paid interest on it?
I have paid 59 instalments of £200.11 (£11,806.49) up to date. I will pay another on 31 July so think I will include that one as well and date my letter 31 July and claim on 60 instalments so will base my figs on £12,006.60 paid to date.
Thanks! onto spreadsheets now...........
Saw a link to Financial Mail saying Northern Rock and Lloyds TSB worst for rejecting claims ... bit worrying! Not seen a lot of other people on here claiming against Northern Rock though - but seem to be lots TSB/Lloyds
