Santander have rejected my PPI claim (store card) from 17 years ago on the grounds they believe it was sold in a proper manner (over the phone - which it wasnt - as I signed-up in-store with an agreement the assistant ticked for PPI) and was offered as optional and appropriate for me etc etc - which I absolutely disagree with.

 

I have issued a SAR - but already do have copies of Agreement and statements etc.

 

Unsure of whats best as next move

- do I escalate issue with FOS (that I'm not hearing good reports about!) or small claims action?

 

The amount of money involved is probably fairly small (circa £200 in PPI premiums?)

 

Any thoughts appreciated!

Absolutely.

 

Brought items in store

- signed an agreement which assistant marked up and advised apparently needed to have PPI if you want immediate approval!

 

Bank now suggest that this was perfectly acceptable practice and I would have had the opportunity to review T's & C's at the point of signing - what!!!

 

Stood in a queue, clutching a pair of jeans and a couple of shirts

- with people waiting to pay behind you

- well of course I'll have a review of your piggin terms to see if I'm being stitched-up

- even though the terms do not state how much this PPI farce will cost me.

 

Bank suggests I would have had 30 days to cancel if I wasn't happy

- but they didnt send the formal info in post to me till 60 days later???

Not amused!

Recently submitted SAR to Santander- the same bank who was handling and rejecting couple of old PPI claims.

They have stated they hold no data for me - despite my having a current account with them for last 12 years - which is registered to my current address - detailed on my original SAR.

 

 

Excerpt of letter below:-

 

Can anyone advise whether you have to detail ALL previous addresses where they may have held data

- I originally provided full name, current address, date of birth

- and asked for data held on any and all addresses for me.

 

 

Equally, I'm not sure they are allowed to suggest they only hold data for 6 years

- when, whilst trying to log a PPI claim, they found data on old store cards going back 17 years?

Thanks re-read the posts and will write to them again.

 

However, my issue is that

1) not sure I'll remember all my addresses over last 20 years,

2) if it's genuinely only limited to 6 years - pointless exercise,

3) I thought a SAR required all information 'uniquely and personally identifiable' to you

- which an address is not

- whereas a proper name and 'date of birth' is very much unique to me and easily searchable/identifiable?,

4) My current account is with them and at current address - which they haven't even found

5) they clearly do have info beyond 6 years which they have failed to disclose

- as they are dealing with PPI claims older than 6 years (and rejecting them based on the records they hold - even if incorrect!)

 

Have reviewed ICO website regards longevity of data which doesn't suggest any cap of 6 years

- just as long as company holds data, in accordance with rules of DPA and their own compliance policy?

So surely, if they HAVE the data (which they clearly do) - they have to release it?

Bank has now provided 'final decision' and rejected my claim

- as has the insurer, Axa.

 

 

Have sent SAR to bank but still awaiting results

- although do have my original agreement and statements etc.

 

 

Bank suggest as account prior to 2005, I cant go to FOS with complaint against them - but can against Axa??

 

 

If I wish to proceed and reject their decision

- poss small claims

- do I go after the insurer or bank as original creditor?

You do need to get a move on if you are going to be escalating your claim to the FOS. Aside from which, the FCA have advised there is now a deadline for PPI claims - August 2019.

 

Although as I understand it, "We fight any claim" are or have taken the FCA to court according to an article I found online dated March 2017.

I am considering starting a small claims action - to recover mis-sold PPI premiums from apprx 20 years ago!

 

Please can someone advise as to whether I have to calculate/show the interest element I am asking for in restitution

- or do I just show the value of premiums paid and ask the Court (if my claim is successful!) to award interest as they see fit?

 

Equally, if I have to identify value of interest

- do I use statutory or ask Court to award compound interest in restitution

- calculated at contractual rate of agreement (15%) charged to date of claim

(even if I could do this - am concerned that 'compound' calculated over 20 years on few hundred pounds could take my claim over £10k - therefore no longer being able to be considered in Small Claims track? Very confused!!

 

All help much appreciated!!

firstly,

have a look at the fos site re how they calculate ppi redress.

as that wld probably be considered in any claim.

 

generally, it's not simply a case of adding stat interest and compund interest to the amount of premiums paid.

the history of the account would need to be looked at, and if not fully available then a reconstruction.

 

also, generally, interest amounts claimed should not count re the technical value of a claim for the purposes of track.

 

interest should usually be set out separately on a claim form as per the civil procedure rules.

is there a background thread on this, have you exhausted complaints and fos.

the fosrunninsheet will do it all for you.

you cant charge them at their interest rate after they stopped charging it.

Many thanks Ford. I feared it wouldn't be simple!!

Yes, have exhausted route with 2 banks - made original complaints (via Resolver) but one bank claims I have not had PPI on my account - despite my providing copies of statements that clearly show I have! Have queried several times - but they are holding their position and stating thats their final decision? The other bank state I requested PPI on telesales call - which I definitely did not (took out in-store for storecard with pre-ticked application form). I considered escalating through FOS but varying reports/experience on their level of expertise in resolving matters - so issued an LbA to banks and thought I would try and pursue via small claims procedure??
