Does anyone have the full list of companies fined for miss selling ppi as on the FSA website today it states more than 24.
Also I tried to open the FSA's new ploicy document from last week but the document is empty. All other documents open. Is anyone else having difficulty as I want to quote excerpts in my letters now

And below, I have copied and pasted from Martin's page of fined companies....



Many major providers, including Alliance & Leicester, Egg and Capital One have been fined for “not treating customers fairly”, and more are expected soon. If yours has, it’s very likely you’ve a case.

Are you a customer of one of these firms?
If you’re a customer of one of these companies it may have already been in touch with you, but if it hasn’t you should definitely send a reclaim letter asking for justification that your policy was sold with your best interests in mind.
Other companies are likely to be fined too
The FSA is likely to announce further fines, this is important as it hugely strengthens your reclaim, so ensure you get the free weekly email to keep updated on this.
