the long road ahead - Abbey/Santander - *** SUCCESS ***

[lancstar]

hi i have found this site very helpful in the past so let’s hope it continues i am about to enter the confusing world of ppi claiming

i have had a good read on claiming back miss sold ppi and some say it's easy and some say it's a long hard slogg lets hope mine's not the latter

firstly a abbey loan paid in full with a (consolidated loan) on 02 /2005

i know i was miss sold it because the phone call to abbey stated that if i did not take out ppi from them i probably would not get the loan so if that's not miss selling what is

i have the final settlement letter with dates and details is it to late to claim just over 6 years ago ?

on the letter it shows a

less rebate of payment protection premium of £42

can i still claim for the rest ?

Secondly i have found a cpi services contract for ppi for 60 months from 3 / 2004 £1.391 same again the salesman said if you don't take out ppi now you may not get the mortgage

i have others i am looking into

this is just the start the largest is with the consolidated loan company on 1 /2005 £3250 added to the loan same as the others told i have to have it from them before the loan would be offered

so it's the dates i am worried about

ok all i am now getting my head around this and find it much easier with all the helpful link’s if i do win there will be a donation to help keep it running and help others

just a couple of quick questions

If i win the ppi for the loans i have paid off in full is it right assume that because i owe them nothing they will pay me the refund in full ?

But because the loans were paid with a consolidated loan i am still paying to date would any refund of this ppi be deducted from the balance i owe?

Any info or help would be appreciated and of Corse thanks in advance

[ims21]

They can only set off against notified arrears so if the current loan is up to date then the refund must come to you UNLESS you have any arrears on any other accounts within the same banking group.

[lancstar]

wow that was quick thanks

would that include overdrafts ? 1 loan was with the same bank i am in now and have a overdraft with them

[ims21]

If your overdraft is within an agreed limit then the refund should still come to you as you have not breached any terms of the OD.

 

Having said that, some might say that paying off the OD would not be a bad idea to reduce the charges you are paying.

I am at a standstill with a loan with ppi from abby and it goes back 9 years i have looked at my bank statements going right back to march 2003 but am unable to confirm the amount borrowed and when it started i do have all the payments for the loan up to the settlement letter that was sent to me when i re financed and paid it off in full in 2005

Am i right to assume that abby would not be able to send me my details of this loan even if i send a sar due to the timescale? and the consolidated loan started on 2005 i do have the agrement for this tho so it should be ok i hope i.m still paying it now

Is it worth pursuing the abby loan or is it a lost cause because i cannot remember the total borrowed or when it started

i am still compiling a list of others (quite a large list now)but it is taking quit some time i have been at it after work in my spare time now i have found in the workshop my bank staments it makes for quit unnerving reading and i can see i have been well and truley riped off

thanks in advance

[ims21]

SAR the lender and make specific that you want a copy of the loan agreement.

 

See what they come back with

[lancstar]

Ok all thank’s for the help ims21 still trying to get my head round this

I’m still looking back and I’ve just found all my bank statements going back to 2001 with the abby only a couple missing i found a old suitcase in the workshop over the weekend i had forgot about the statements do contain all my payments from the beginning of the abby loan to the final settlement figure but i cannot see the total borrowed for some reason it looks like i missed 2 payments near the settlement date tho would it be possible for someone to help me to work out the loan and ppi from the figures i have is there a mathematical wizard that can understand this ? co’s I’m at a loss

I don’t think sending a sar would give me any more info after reading other peoples dealings with abby and it looks like they are sticking to the 6 year cut of point! In my opinion that is

I can give dates and the exact amount paid in full over the full loan period with the settlement figures and the ppi and interest rebate

As usual thanks in advance

[ims21]

If you haven't got the figures for the loan you can just send in a completed fos questionnaire as a speculative claim and see what comes back.

 

Without knowing how much you borrowed and the PPI premium added to the loan then it won't be possible to work out how much PPI was paid.

 

If it were me I would SAR them

[lancstar]

thanks for that ims21 a sar it is then just a quick one what account \ref number do i put in he sar is it my own account number or the account number of the loan or both ?

and can you point me to where i might find the correct address for santander just to save posting it to the wrong one

[ims21]

You can narrow the SAR to the accounts you are interested in by giving the relevant account numbers. Or you can give all account numbers and add a line to the SAR that it is not just limited to these accounts but is for any and all accounts ever held.

 

Send recorded to the registered office addressed to the Data Controller

ok all i have posted the sar to santander at the weekend including the £10 postal order i have everything crossed at the mo

i have now got citybank and cityfinancial in my sights would i have to send 2 sars one for each or are they the same group would i be able to sar just the group or is it better to go the individual root and where should i post them to

it may be sometime between posts due to work commitments so if i don't get straight back you know why

[ims21]

they are the same so one SAR should be all that is needed.

thanks in advance

Failed SAR letter in the CAG library

[lancstar]

hi all thanks for the help i have now sent the failed sar letter with a copy of the original sar but i am thinking this is going to be a longer road than first thought!!

what will happen now ? i have given them another 14 days rather than go to court but if i have to what's the cost ? and will santander have to give me the infomation i require or is there a possibility i could loose and not recive any info from santander and be back to square one maybe it would have been better to pay someone only time will tell now

thanks again

[ims21]

To issue for non compliance I think will be about the £30 mark. They will have to give you everything they hold on you.

 

Have you read this thread?

A compliant to the ICO may help if you don't want to go the court route to start off with.

hi all

ok then i got home on thursday and to my suprize i had a reply from santander it contained 1 small letter and a copy of my loan agreement so i can now move on to the next step making the claim i will use one of your templets and have a go at working it out myself if i get stuck would it be ok to ask for some help with the calcs i am also wondering how the rebate i got when i paid it off should be calculated in

thanks in advance

[lancstar]

hi what is the best calculator to use for my claim thanks

[ims21]

For a loan account it is this one

 

StatIntSheet v101.xls

[lancstar]

hi sorry to be a pain but is there a guid on filling in the spreadsheet it don't seem to do enything i have never used a spreadsheet in my life so i don't know enything about them thanks

[ims21]

As in post #2 above...read No.1 in my signature and also the "Notes" tab in the spreadsheet on how to fill it in.

[lancstar]

hi all i am finding it hard to understand the spreadsheet the note's in it are not very clear i have been at it now for most of the afternoon and i am more confused now than ever

do i have to manualy put every payment i made in ppi over the full loan term 60 mounths that means i will have to input 60 payments all the same apart from the date !!!! is this correct or am i realy thick

as i have said in previous posts i paid it of early and got a rebate from them in 2005 what should i do about that how do i calculate this

[ims21]

You need to work out what percentage of each repayment was for PPI.

 

What is the amount of the cash loan?

 

What is the amount of the PPI loan?

 

What is the total monthly repayment?

 

What is the date of the first repayment?

 

What is the date of the last monthly repayment?

 

What is the date of the settlement?

 

What does the loan statement show as regards the settlement figure i.e. balance before any rebate was applied?
