Hi, I rang Paragon who are actually my lender and they told me who the underwriters were, i would try ge money. I also only found out about bespoke when i complained to freedom finance, they had never been mentioned to me before that and do not appear in any of my paperwork.
Good Luck
Regarding pre January 2005 sales of ppi :-
There could possibly be signs at the end of the distant tunnel regarding CERTAIN insurers - i think there is an 80% chance Cardif Pinnacle (yes cardif not cardiff) are you insurers.
to quote someone, referring to cardif pinacle in particular -
"FOS say now as the last time I spoke with them they were intending to use the matter of whether insurance companies had responsibility for sale as a test case with courts. "
and it could take up to 5 years apparently.
get looking on the search engines for more info

PAGES 15 & 16 of this earlier document make interesting reading
"We identified a common failing of not disclosing to the customer that the
term of the cover was shorter than the term of the credit agreement and the
consequences of such mismatch. Our view is that failing to disclose such a
16 CP10/6: Payment Protection Insurance complaints (March 2010)
mismatch and its financial consequences to the customer would not comply
with the Principles. From the introduction of ICOBS 6.4.9R(3) this would also
have been a breach of the rule."
this means the purchaser of PPI thought he was buying insurance for the length of the loan not just for 5 years :evil:r

AND ON PAGE 34
"Balance
3.10 The main objection from the industry was that the overall effect of the guidance
was unbalanced and unfair because it made it very difficult for firms to reject any
PPI complaint, even where the firm felt it had acted quite correctly at point of sale.
Three main critcisms were that:"

Consumer Credit Act implications
We agree that the approaches give rise to some implications for the existing credit
agreement(s) under the Consumer Credit Act (CCA).
We contacted the Office of Fair Trading to understand the implications for firms in
this area and reached the following conclusions.
Where the PPI is sold alongside a loan, there are in fact two credit agreements.
One for the principal loan and a second to finance the optional PPI. The former
is debtor-creditor (d-c) and the latter is debtor-creditor-supplier (d-c-s). This is
irrespective of whether the creditor is also the supplier of PPI.
In CCA terms, where the PPI is sold alongside a loan, there are multiple agreements
within section 18(1)(a) CCA. Each part – the principal credit agreement and the
PPI credit agreement – would be treated as a separate agreement by virtue of
section 18(2). They may be documented together, subject to the Consumer Credit
(Agreements) Regulations 1983 (CCA Regulations). Regs 2(8) and 2(9) of the
current CCA Regulations allow for a common heading and signature box and
common statements of protection and remedies. Reg 2(7) requires an additional
form of consent.
If PPI is found to have been mis-sold, the remedy is generally to return the parties
to the position they would have been in had the PPI not been taken out. This should
lead to the cancellation of the PPI credit agreement and refund of monies paid by
the debtor. This is consistent with Article 15.1 of the new Consumer Credit Directive
which states that ‘where the consumer has exercised a right of withdrawal, based on
Community law, concerning a contract for the supply of goods or services, he shall
no longer be bound by a linked credit agreement’.
As the PPI credit agreement is separate (for CCA purposes) from the principal credit
agreement, it should be possible to cancel the former without affecting the latter.
Clearly though, if payments were made together as a single monthly instalment, the
amount of the instalment will need to be adjusted (as our approaches indicate). This
would not require a modification of the principal credit agreement. It would simply
be a consequence of cancellation of the PPI credit.
Even if the principal credit and PPI credit were treated as one agreement for CCA
purposes (which we do not believe would be the intended effect of section 18
CCA), it would be possible to modify the agreement to remove the PPI elements.
This could be done via a modifying agreement for section 82(2) CCA purposes. The debtor would have to agree (but we generally see no reason why he would not).
Alternatively, the creditor could simply refrain from collecting part of the payment
and from enforcing the relevant aspects of the agreement. This could be done as
a unilateral concession, although this would be less satisfactory from the debtor’s
point of view as it would not have the effect of amending the contract and in
theory the creditor could withdraw the unilateral concession at any time. It is better
(and clearer all round) to have a modifying agreement, signed by both parties, and
binding on both of them. At the very least the concession should be documented in
some durable way, such as a letter acknowledging it, given the potential for disputes.
Consequently, we do not see why our approaches discussed above should raise CCA
enforceability issues.28 However, a firm should take care in how it documents the
arrangements and what information it gives to the consumer.

SORRY gannymede
i am sorry about that ----- no i forgot the CPR part 8 bit
when i said defence etc .... i mean ...
file the allocation questionnnaire (AQ) and defence at court simultaneously {part 8 forces this !!}
and serve the defence on the Council
-
Ganymede thanks for trying to help but we know the CPR rules quite well
the notice was served under CPR part 8 !!
the notes on the claim form are a generalisation --part 8 CPR claims we assume are only say 1% of all claims &
as we said the notice was served under CIVIL PROCEDURE RULES PART 8 ( this stops certain other parts of the CPR rules applying)
Councils use CPR PART 8 when they do not expect to be questioned over the "ALLEGED" facts they produce to court - MEANING they expect a walkover
( AMONGST OTHER THINGS IF A DEFENCE IS NOT FILED UNDER cpr PART 8 -- THE CLAIMANT CANNOT OBTAIN SUMMARY JUDGEMENT)
-
Imagine a Local council issues a claim form using a POBox followed by its real address , it is assumed the postcode is that of the POBox
Question .. can the defence be handed it at the Council offices (see below for mythical example , in this case 23 the Big House)
or does it have to be posted to the pobox address?
and IF the answer is that THE DEFENCE MUST BE POSTED to the POBox and say the defence was posted on a Monday -- recorded delivery -- in law what is the day the defence is deemed as served on the Claimant
eg
Mickey Mouse council
Po Box 123
23 The Big House
Lancaster
Mythical Postcode

Consumer credit and debt | Policies | BIS
Consumers are key to a thriving and robust UK economy
It is important to learn lessons from the experience of the credit crunch and to take steps to improve the UK’s consumer credit regulatory regime for the future. The credit market needs to emerge in a better shape, with fairer outcomes for consumers, and contributing to, rather than potentially operating against wider financial stability.
The Government believes that action is needed to protect consumers, particularly the most vulnerable, and to promote greater competition across the economy. We need to promote more responsible corporate and consumer behaviour through greater transparency and by harnessing the insights from behavioural economics and social psychology.
- We will give regulators new powers to define and ban excessive interest rates on credit and store cards, and we will introduce a seven-day cooling-off period for store cards
- We will oblige credit card companies to provide better information to their customers in a uniform electronic format that will allow consumers to find out whether they are receiving the best deal
- We will introduce stronger consumer protections, including measures to end unfair bank and financial charges
Details of how these commitments will be fulfilled will follow shortly.

Could there be some light at the end of the tunnel
We will provide more protection against aggressive bailiffs and unreasonable charging orders, ensure that courts have the power to insist that repossession is always a last resort, and ban orders for sale on unsecured debts of less than £25,000

Take a look at this,very interesting
Reported this morning on BBC
Court lets woman off £8,000 loan
By Ian Pollock
Personal finance reporter, BBC News
The obligation to repay many consumer loans may be undermined
A decision by a county court Judge could mean thousands of borrowers being able to renege on their debts.
Judge Jacqueline Smart at South Shields county court has decided that the MBNA credit card company cannot demand the repayment of a customer's debt.
It tried to force Lynne Thorius to repay the £8,000 she owed on her card.
But the Judge decided there had been an unfair relationship between Ms Thorius and MBNA because of the way she had been sold payment protection insurance.
'Massive ramifications'
Ms Thorius' case was pursued on her behalf by a claims management firm Cartal Client Review, based in Manchester, and the law firm Consumer Credit Litigation Solicitors.
Carl Wright of Cartal Client Review, claimed the court decision was a landmark judgement.
"This will have massive ramifications for consumers up and down the country," he said.
But MBNA downplayed the importance of the court decision.
"The judgement went against MBNA for a number of reasons," a spokeswoman said.
"In principle, because the deputy district judge felt that MBNA had not on this occasion provided the appropriate documents to the customer and as such was not able to rely on the clauses MBNA would ordinarily seek to rely on in these cases," she explained.
"The case is a county court case and each case is decided on its own merits and on the factual circumstances of each case. This does not set any legal precedent," said MBNA.
'Secret commission'
The credit card in question was branded with the logo of Sunderland football club and was sold to Ms Thorius in the club's shop in 2002.
The PPI policy was sold to her at the same time, to pay off her account if she fell ill or was made redundant.
But, critically, she had not been told that MBNA would be receiving regular commission payments from the insurance provider ITT London & Edinburgh, a subsidiary of the Aviva insurance group.
Judge Smart agreed with the argument of Ms Thorius's barrister, Paul Brant, that this "secret" commission meant the credit card deal was unfair and therefore in breach the Consumer Credit Act.
This point could potentially undermine many other agreements where PPI has been sold by the lender alongside a loan.
These include car finance deals, other personal loans and even mortgages.
"This practice is believed to be widespread and formed part of the Competition Commission's decision to prohibit the co-sale of PPI with credit in its report published on 29/1/09," Mr Brant noted.
"This point is likely to affect many thousands of individuals within England and Wales," he added.
Repayments
Judge Smart also agreed that the debt on Ms Thorius's credit card was unenforceable because the card company could not provide a copy of the original loan agreement, which is also required by the Consumer Credit Act.
MBNA's claim for the repayment of the outstanding money on the card was rejected.
And the Judge ordered the company either to repay Ms Thorius's PPI premiums and interest, or the value of the commissions it had received which so far has been undisclosed.
The PPI premiums, which rose each month as the credit card debts increased, amounted to £2,500 over the time the card had been in use.
Controversial
The claims management industry which has emerged in the past few years has been highly controversial.
Many firms advertise in newspapers and on television, encouraging people to come forward to write off their debts.
This year the authorities, such as the Office of Fair Trading (OFT), Ministry of Justice (which regulates claims management firms) and the Solicitors Regulation Authority, have warned firms not to make exaggerated claims about their ability to get debts written off because of apparent technical errors in the lenders' paperwork.
Since April 2007 more than 100 such firms, or those advertising for people to pursue personal injury claims, have been shut down by the OFT.
But the South Shields ruling appears to open up a new and genuine line of attack for claims firms.
"We have been using this argument for some time but lenders have been settling outside the courts to avoid publicity," said Mr Wright.
MBNA applied for leave to appeal, which was rejected, but it may now apply directly to a higher court for permission to appeal.
Only when higher courts have decided the issue will the legal ramifications, and the effects on lender and borrowers, be clear.
Very interesting information and well worth looking into.
As discussed elsewhere and recommended by the Ministry of Justice everyone should take advice before paying a CMC to take on their case
Any football fans out there good idea to post this on the Sunderland football fans website and the liverpool Man utd nEWCASTLE etc etc
in fact all the affiliated front names that MBNA ARE BEHIND !!!!!
