Good Morning Wirral folk, has anyone got any feedback on companies that claim you can get PPI mis-sold money back, I had a phone call last week and they claimed they could get me money back from a morgage I took out 16 years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have never heard of nayone actually getting money back but thought I just chuck it out there and see if anyone else has............before I sign anything

Have a lovely day

Good Morning Louise

I personally wouldnt use any company to sort this out as their fees tend to be a bit on the high side.
If you go to www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk they have all the details you would need to do everything yourself.

Hope this helps

Steve

We used a company to claim back on current CC. We got a substantial amount back. However it cost us %25 plus charges. But still probably wouldn't of tried ourselves if we had not got the call. I am now trying to claim on an old mortgage myself. You can download the form on Banks webpage.

Every PPI is different as it depends how much you've actually paid into it so to make a broad statement regarding payout is misleading. I think you mean a "Goodwill Gesture payout" which is basically a claim without the provider admitting misselling but stops you claiming the actual monies you have paid in over the years at a later date! Be careful of accepting low offers til you've made a rough calculation of what you've paid in (+8% interest which may or may not be applied as it's discretionary)

http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/reclaim/ppi-loan-insurance

This site will provide you with all the information you need and even the standard letters used to make a claim - and it wont cost you a single penny! Any insurance policy (Credit card, loan, HP agreement etc) which you've been sold or has been attached to your finance agreement either with or without your knowledge is potentially missold and therefore potentially a claim. It might cost you a couple of pounds (usually £1.00 for each account) to get access to all your old agreements but you could claim thousands. There is a time limit though so not all accounts/loans will payout but it's worth a try! Good luck.


oh and by the way, if your account has been taken over by a debt collection company or if you've got an arrangement to pay off with the finance company or bank, still apply as it'll either be offered to you or taken off your debt. In some cases you can plead a "hardship" case as usually its the cost of these policies that make repayments too high to repay. In other words, the PPI got you into financial difficulty in the first place!!

Also whilst you are at it, ask the bank for a copy of your original Agreement. If they cant provide it, then they have lost it as happens with thousands.

No proof of agreement = no court action if you don't repay the loan as they don't have a leg to stand on. This doesn't work with credit cards though as there is a transaction history, only with loans.

As I understand it the maximum lead time is 10 years so if you are talking 16 years you may be too late but as others have said your bets approach is the original lender and don't touch the sharks who will take at least 25% of your entitlement.
