new ppi claim to capitol one

[shieldblaster]

Hi

 

I have just started a claim for missold ppi with Cap One. The ppi was on a credit card taken out in 1999 and they are still taking out premiums monthly. Action so far is a request for the original agreement for which they sent the original application form where it clearly states i am retired.

 

Following this i sent a formal complaint on the form provided on the FO site and have just received a response from Cap One stating that due to high volume of complaints it will take 10 weeks to investigate my claim and respond.

 

Initial thoughts are that 10 weeks seems a long time and should i reply with a letter stating what i think the time frame should be prior to further action (LBA etc.). Also i don't have a clue how to work out what i am owed from them so could anyone provide and idiots guide on how to work it out?

 

I also have another credit card with them and i am awaiting the original agreement copy for that before tackling them with that.

 

Many thanks for any help or advice given in advance

I have just got a PPI refund from Cap One. It was a very simple and very small amount. I complained via the FOS complaint form start of July 2012. Had no correspondence from them till this week where they have stated they will pay up.

 

So ten weeks seems about right. But of course you can go to FOS after 8 weeks but that would see your claim going into the meat grinder down there with no date for resolution.

 

I would leave it and be patient and see what comes out of Cap one first.

Thanks for your reply Ken and well done on your result I take on board what you are saying and want to be sensible and reasonable about it all just in case it should go further.

Just an update to this thread. After 8 weeks Cap One has offered me £1200 as final settlement to my PPI claim and didn't contest at all.

 

As this is roughly what i calculated i will be accepting their offer

The above comments are interesting. I applied to Capital One 6 weeks ago and never recriring leeived any acknowledgement of my complaint. Last week I sent a further form and covering letter, recorded delivery. See if they respond this time.

Congratulations shieldblaster.

 

The wait did seem ages like mine I am sure but was worth it in the end

I started my claim on the 5th of July this year in regards to ppi miss-selling I received a letter within a week stating that they would reply within 8 - 10 weeks, they took the full 10 weeks and then another letter arrived saying they needed another 4 weeks which they took full advantage of and abit more, so I phoned them and they told me I would receive a letter upholding my claim, and that I had to sign a confirmation that I would accept their offer of 1675 just waiting for the cheque to arrive hopefully soon although they have given themselves 3 weeks to dispatch it to me, to which I am sure they will take full advantage of that aswell. Be patient
