Hi ,
having a problem with partners PPI refund from barclaycard
He had to contact Financial Ombudsman and eventually barclaycard agreed to repay the ppi premiums,at every stage they delayed things as long as they could.
About 3 weeks ago he recieved letter from b,card stating what they had calculated refund to be and then said as account was being dealt with by a third party[calder]they had arranged for refund to be deducted from balance owing !
Account is with calders[,b,card DCA ] as it is in dispute and has been for 8 months.,anyway partner wrote back to b,card stating he wanted the refund paid direct to him as b,card had no right to offset the total amount against the balance owing.....
So far he has heard nothing so we need to know what we can do next,
their are arrears on the account now since it has been in dispute, refund is for 500 pounds,arrears approx 250.00 so surely all they can offset is 250.00?
In his letter partner asked for the total refund,to see what happened ,but its no surprise that hes not heard anything...
We are not giving up on this but is their any legal stuff we can quote to them?
You correct in that they can only offset against arrears and as that was money they should never have taken in the first place its only right that anything over and above the arrears should be returned to you.
