GE Money & PPI

[parian]

I have reciently been made redundant and have a loan with GE Money, when I tried to claim on the ppi I was told it expired last october.

The insurance was made a condition of the loan, the term of the loan is for 10 years and no way would I agree to a five year insurance plan on a 10 year loan.

GE's attitude is tougth we dont care, go to the broker who I think is freedom finance.

can anyone advise me of my options

 

regards

I find it rather strange that someone would sell you a five year policy to cover a ten year loan

I think someone is trying to take the p*ss here

 

Send them a SAR for all of the loan details including the info on the PPI. They sold you the insurance and have been paid handsomely for it! If it is not worth the paper it's written on it's been miss sold and you have been left with a useless product.

 

Don't take any sh*t from these band*ts

 

Get the SAR off as soon as possible, see what the PPI terms and conditions say, then go in for the kill

 

Go for it!!!!!

Hi parian:)

 

As birchave0 says you should do a SAR then start the ball rolling to get your PPI refunded.

 

There are many stickies at the top of this forum explaining reasons why you may fall into the mis-selling categories and giving assistance on how to reclaim.

 

Once you have all your info there are plenty of experienced Caggers able to offer further help if you keep your thread updated when developments occur - alanalana and pompeyfaith spring to mind!

 

As for the 5 year policy on a 10 year loan - this is quite common. On a mortgage we had, our PPI only covered the first 3 years of the full 25:eek:

 

We have since been told by the broker that this was because to insure the full 25 years would have been prohibitively expensive and that with a mortgage we were most likely to have remortgaged after 3 years anyway - but I'm sure most people are completely unaware that they are only covered for the first few years. Anyway with a loan (as in your case) you are not going to refinance after the first 5 years, so why don't they just cover the full term:confused:

 

Good luck!

you need to SAR so you can obtain all of the info on the account, mainly the PPI policy. Send it to GE, they sold you the loan

 

ps - don't phone them they just fob you off, stick it in a letter and send recorded delivery

[parian]

Thanks I'll send the SAR Tomorrow

Also keep copies of all your correspondence as you may need copies for the FOS or Court later. You should try and keep them in sequential order it makes life easier when you want to refer back to a particular letter and it also helps when the complaint is escalated.

Hi

 

I dont want to hijack this thread by I have a quick question about GE.

 

I had a £30k loan with Igroup/GE taken out through London Scottish & with PPI. Ididn't get into arrears or anything but I did settle it after 10 months, payimg a big erc. This was in 2004. Does anyone know whether igroup were involved with secret commissions etc?

I've got exactly the same problem, 10 year loan but 5 year ppi, in fact recently SAR GE only to learn that although the salesman stated that both borrowers would be covered in actual fact only the 1st named is covered & as thats me - Iam self employed sub contractor.

 

GE's stance at the moment is that its the double glazing company thats responsible for selling the PPI, not GE - utter rollocks ! ! Says I.

Nothing

 

For a SAR, you have to allow 40 days for them to comply

Thanks I realise now, I got the times mixed up with CCA
