Hi

I had a Goldfish credit card up to approx 2007 and I want to reclaim PPI as I was self-employed.

It seems Goldfish as it was doesn't exist anymore and was sold to Barclaycard I think.

Do I submit my claim to Barclaycard for Goldfish related claims?

Thanks

What do you mean by 'n/a' ?

Hi city

Your claim would be with Discovery Financial Sevices, which was spun off by Morgan Stanley

Discover Financial Services

This explains the history of Goldfish,

Barclays buys troubled Goldfish as US firm says the UK is too tough | Business | The Guardian

I suppose you could contact Barclaycard and see what they say, they bought Goldfish in 2008.

Had a problem editing the post, so put n/a not applicable.

your complaint should be addressed to the company who miss sold the product, not the current owner of Goldfish. I suggest you send a SAR to the current owners of Goldfish who I believe is Barclays, this should provide you with a copy of your original credit agreement, which should show the date your account was opened.

You will then be able to work out who owned Goldfish when you opened the account, and therefore who to complain to

sorry if this sounds like you are going around the houses, but if you determine now exactley who to complain to it will save you time in the long run. Otherwise they will just give you the run around.

i won against Goldfish 3 years ago, so it can be done

good luck!

Cheers for the advice all.

I have all my Goldfish statements, so I know exactly what was taken in PPI and the interest rate on the credit card.

I will write to Barclays staking my claim and ask them who I should contact if they say it's not their responsibility.

Had my Goldfish credit card PPI mis-selling complaint upheld by Barclaycard last December and returned signed acceptance form 1st week of December 2011 but still no money!

I've phoned Barclaycard a few times now and they say the exact same thing every time, which is they cannot give me any idea on timescales and they have a big backlog.

I called the FOS and they said I could make a complaint about this to the FOS, but the FOS would have to give Barclaycard 8 weeks to deal with my complaint.

It seems Barclaycard can just take as long as they want!

Anyone else had recent issues getting refunds from Barclaycard?

Hi

Lloyds are playing the same game sadly.

Maybe an lba would jolt them into coughing up.

Hi ims...was thinking of the LBA route, but I would then have to follow through with the court action if they didn't pay up by the LBA date or would look weak if i didn't go through with my 'threat' of court action.

Do you happen to know how long a case takes to be heard once it has been submitted to the county court? It's not like they can dispute the money is owed lol as they have made the offer and i think 2 months is more than ample time to process the refund.

Hi

I think it would depend on how busy your court is.

You may find that they pay up before getting to court....when you think about it, how could they defend? They have made an offer which, I assume, you have formally accepted, and they haven't paid.

Otherwise there's no telling how long you'll wait. The only good thing is that the 8% interest is mounting up

Still no payment from Barclaycard and they still insist that they cannot give any date or approximate timescale for making my refund when I phoned them again. So as it's now been 2 months since they received my acceptance form, I think it's time to send a LBA. It's not a path i really wanted to or expected to have to go down, but i can't wait indefinitely with their arrogance of not giving me any indication of when i'm likely to receive my refund...not even a rough indication.

I was pondering what to do about this non payment of refund from Barclaycard and found the email address for their CEO, so dropped him a polite but firm email stating how long I had been waiting since I returned the offer acceptance letter and that I would have little option other than to go to the county court process as Barclaycard have stated they are not willing/unable to give me any indication of when i would receive the refund.

2 days later.....money paid direct to my bank account!! a coincedence i wonder or did they get told by the CEOs office to sort it!

Hi Citybloke

I am in a similar position to you, had a Morgan Stanley C.Card, which then went to Goldfish and then onto Barclaycard in 2007.

Just about to start my claim to re-coup my PPI payments; being told by Barclaycard nothing to do with them, I need to contact AXA Insurers directly.

I know my claim is with Barclays, not AXA, wondering if you had any of this nonsense from Barclaycad.

Heartening to hear of your success, well done.
