Do you still have the letter they sent?

 

and if so what information are they offering without going into personal details like names, addressess. sort codes, account numbers etc

If they are offering a refund as they will be

 

see this link... A&L?s £7 million PPI fine is a good start

 

If they have sent letters and contacted you then the chances are you are going to get your money back..

 

read the above don't tell anyone and if you have that letter keep it safe and tell them you are one of the mis-sold PPI holders

Hello zcars,

 

Perhaps you were one of the thousands that were unaware ppi was on your loan.

 

Can type up what the letter actually says, remove all personal details:D

 

My daughter has just successfully reclaimed her mis-sold ppi, life insurance and gap insurances from them with one letter

 

You could always send them a SAR costing £10 to get all information relating to the account.

How come HSBC letter that i received late last year concerning PPI did not suggest that there are/were problems with their PPI & heres a refund?

[zcars6]

Alliance and leicester have now been in touch with me , offering a refund of the money owed. To quote A&L, HAVING CONSIDERED THE AVAILABLE INFORMATION ,WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO ESTABLISH WHETHER YOU WERE PROVIDED WITH SUFFICIENT DETAILS TO ALLOW YOU TO MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION WHEN THIS POLICY WAS TAKEN OUT. the problem i have is that i flatly refused ppi when taking out the loan.I stated this to A&L when i first made contact with them.I think their offer should reflect the fact that my money was stolen ,(am i being greedy?).I want to reject their offer.I have 28 days, from the 2nd april to accept the offer.Any advice on my next move will be gratefully appreciated.......peter

You could refuse and go via the FOS and then Court if need be. I refused an offer from RBS put in a complaint to FOS and got an additional £1.2K in interest.

my brother in laws mum had the same letter, and so I wrote to them for her asking for all premiums paid to date plus the interest to be refunded.....hopefully she will get something back from that....

[Forsure]

Has anyone had any success with this ?

[ronvin]

I didn't receive the letter from them concerning my loans.I wrote to them asking for my ppi and apr interest charged. I received the same letter from them saying i hadn't been provided with sufficient details, i received all i'd asked for.

 

I think they would rather pay up, than go to court!

I sent them the letter in the stickys its a sars request for ppi. Do you have your own thread, that way people will come help you on your quest ?

I received a letter from A&L at the end of February saying that I had not been given enough info on PPI and that I was entitled to some money back as a result. So I agreed to the amount they offered and sent back their form asking for the money back. That was at the end of February and since then I've not heard anything from them. I've phoned them three times to ask where the money is, and have sent them a letter, all to no avail. Has anybody else had this problem?

I have had this same problem - I have been waiting three months now for my cheque after several phone calls - all that I get is that A & L are till processing this and they cannot tell me when payment wil be made?

I think I may go to the FO?

 

Any advice?

Thank you so much for your response - at least I know now other people are in the same position. I suspect probably quite a few other people. A&L told me exactly the same thing when I phoned them. It's all very well the FSA telling them they have to pay back people who were forced to take out PPI without proper details being given, but is anyone actually checking whether A&L are actually paying out I wonder?

Oh dear !!! I hve just got an award from A & L on behalf of my sister in laws, in laws...........

Can we expect to wait the same amount of time ? Or is it reasonable to request they submit the refund by direct credit transfer ??

You could try - but I wouldn't hold your breath - I have been waiting since February! My complaint to FOS is going in this week - keep us posted

When I rang to chase the refund offer letters with them, they said they were on their way to my brother in laws mum.....before I nknew this though, I sent a letter to their PPI Team ( by special delivery ) asking for the amount to be credited to a bank account of her choosing as I had conducted my own research and have found the length of time some people have had to wait on their refunds, seriously unacceptable. I am now awaiting a response to this request.....Up until now she has had £3200 refunded and they have yet to look at 2 of her accounts ! Result !
