    lender has left me a voicemail today advising the original agreement and current position has been posted today to the family member...


    So definitely not 'mis-placed' once I have a look I'll let you know what it contains.

    So crossed wires, it came in today's post.

    The agreement they sent is purely the page that was signed, which shows the amount, term, and insurance premium & monthly installments. Is this all they need to supply or should be the full application?

    Only thing I spotted was the family member has signed but not dated it, but the person who sold it to them has signed & dated it.

    I have asked the debt charity were using to arrange the equity release to take a look but they said a signed agreement is a signed agreement, best to ignore this option and push on with the equity release as we've now been told by HMRC there will be no lump sum.

    So the pension is a no-go so ploughing on with the equity release...

    Is it worth putting in a PPI claim or waiting until in a position to offer a settlement then negotiate it then?

    The equity release application is now ongoing, we've enquired about PPI and the loan company have suddenly got very jumpy. They've provided the loan brokers details as they set up the loan so they've said the mis-selling should go against them. And have now given us 14 days to provide proof of the equity release figure they're offering.

    Bearing in mind we haven't even done a full application yet, let alone had a valuation done this isn't going to happen!!

    I have however spoken to the broker who has advised that because the loan was taken out pre-2005 they will automatically decline any reclaim action we take. Is this correct?

    No it is not.

    As long as paperwork exists, you can re-claim.

    Are there any PPI details on the agreement they sent you ?

    If they decline your complaint you take it straight to the FOS.

    the loan company sent a form which shows the insurance premium along with the loan but no application details.

    Would we need to do another request to the broker?

    It should of been provided along with the loan agreement.

    So it sounds like your CCA request was not compliant after all.

    I doubt they will have any more documents to be honest, I would get your PPI complaint sent, include a copy of the document they sent you, mention the rest of the information is missing, see how they respond, be prepared to take it further.
