Proof of name change
Hi 20 years ago I used my partners/father of my children’s surname, I had a couple of account with little woods, I reverted back to my name when we broke up, but now my ppi is being processed they want proof of name change, which I do not have, as it was not official, where do I stand regarding this? Will my claim be…
PPI Tax reclaim - risk?
Hi I had two PPI payouts, one in 2017 and one in 2019. In 2017 £431 was deducted from the gross interest paid, and in 2019 £1382 tax was deducted from the gross interest paid. My question is whether it's risky to seek a repayment of some of this through an R40, or if it might actually increase my tax liability for those…
Irresponsible lending
This is probably in the wrong category so apologies. I am after some information, so I recently reclaimed ppi from shop direct, marvellous received a lovely cheque and I’m so grateful. Anyway it says on it that ppi was added to my account in 2008 well in 2008 I was just 16... I know when I opened the account I was 16 I…

PPI Claim - incorrect claimant address
I received a letter earlier this week from a bank to say that I have been successful in claiming PPI to a relatively large sum. It was sent to my address but used my middle name instead of my first name and I had in the past used the said bank for a loan so I didn't think it was too out of the ordinary (I was under the…
PPI TAX REFUND
I read up on applying for tax refunding, I made my application on Gov.co.uk, I now have 4 tax bills for over £15000 worth of PPI, because I'm already paying 40% on my salary I have no chance of a refund but need to pay an extra 20% tax on what I received in PPI claims.
PPI Deadline
Am I correct in thinking that the last date for reclaiming ppi was 29th August 2019? I'm asking as today I received an email from a claims company I have been using, saying your documents are ready to electronically sign and to click on the link and enter the passcode shown to open my case. This is the first contact we…
Nationwide Building Society - refusing to consider a PPI claim without the joint applicant - discrim
I started to use UClaim4Me in October 2018 when I retired. I sent details of various lenders where I may have had PPI and at one stage they told me that they had discovered that I did have a PPI policy in force associated with my borrowing. I have supplied them with endless information including a copy of a letter from…
Help with tax re-claim PPI
Got a refund of PPI in August around £2,000. When completing a form R40 Is it just MY income and not my spouses, I declare, I am married, and I believe I have the Married couple allowance. Do I declare his income as the PPI was in my name only. The form is very confusing.

Package Account Fees - Halifax Ultimate Reward
Hi guys... My father in law is not very well so I’ve been asked to go through his accounts and get everything in order for him, whilst looking through I’ve found he has had a Halifax Ultimate Reward Account for several years, presently paying near £17 a month in fees! Usual carry on, he doesn’t drive so AA cover is of no…
Barclays pulling a fast one for PPI
Hi all, I put in a complaint with Barclays for PPI last year with the result that they kept writing saying they will come back to me as soon as they can. Eventually, they wrote back saying they could not locate my accounts. I did reply in Feb this year to give them more info although I don't have the account numbers etc.…
Third Party Closing Claim - Help!
I am desperate for some advice! The backstory is a bit long winded so if you are interested, pull up a chair and get comfy :) Before the claim cutoff, I helped my dad start several PPI claims through a company. We decided it would be best to use a third-party as he is in a care-home with dementia and I do not have time or…
PPI Claim for work done
I used JPS Financial for reclaiming ppi. They made it sound so easy. They phoned and asked for everybody who I had credit cards or loans with. I have now received an invoice from them saying that it has become apparent that I have already attempted a claim previously. I was not aware of this but it may have been true as I…
PPI Company closed claim and now want paying.
Hoping someone can advise me on this. I contacted the FCA back in 2008 in regard to a PPI claim as i had discovered i had PPI cover on a LLoyds Bank loan. They processed my claim and LLoyds sent me an acknowledgement of the claim letter to say they were looking into the matter. Nothing else further was ever recieved in…
Opted out of state pension in 1983 ?
In 1983 I joined 2 other women to form a co-operative selling our own knitwear in London. I was told at that time that everyone would soon be opting out of the state pension and advised to, as soon as possible. I never contributed over the years and left the co op about 3 years later. My husband died last month and I've…
False investigation by Lloyds into my mortgage/loan PPI
At a very crucial time personally in November 2019, I was dragged into a year long process with Lloyds Bank who informed me a mistake had been made concerning PPI I had made a request about where they had wrongly told me I had none. Many pestering letters from them ensued about delays in processing this which they were…
PPI
Hello forgive me for being dumb but I have just recalled that when I took out a pension with TSB bank back in late 80s early 90s I had to take out a life insurance policy at the same time is that the same as PPI and can I make a claim for that
Who are claim hunters
I received a letter from "shop direct finance company" thanking me for my recent correspondence in relation to my ppi policy and that they have now completed their investigation and I will be receiving a cheque in the post, I contacted them as I thought this is a scam which turns out they are not and this is in fact true I…
New Undisclosed Commision Claim with Litigation Management Agreement
Last week I had a call from the company who dealt with my PPI claim saying I did not get back the entire commision on one my claims (Plevin). They said they can start legal proceedings to claim the full amount but need me to sign a new agreement (LMA) and as it requires solicitors, they and the solicitors will take 48% (!)…
