    Sorry - if you are unemployed and have ppi then the insurance should be paying out!

    If you are not covered by the insurance bring a misselling complaint against them and get the insurance paid already refunded.

    Smile :), it makes people wonder what you have been up to.

    Sorry to hear about your circumstances :(
    I would be persistent with writing to them- it seems to be the only way!

    I sinscerely wish you good luck :)

  • I recently cancelled PPI on both my Lloyds loans - and got full refunds to the tune of just under £4k :)

    When i wrote, it took a while for a response. Then they acknowledged my letter by sending me the good old ‘caring for you’ leaflet.
    A week or so later I got a phonecall telling me what i wanted to hear - Yes they will cancel, and Yes ill get a refund.
    (this is after being told twice on the phone they would NOT cancel !)

    In all I sent three letters and the whole process took a month.
    Trick is dont give up – it can be done.
    If they refuse, write again, and again, and again.

    Good luck

    PPI Insurance is really expensive too. When I worked at Abbey I had to sell the stuff.

    They make an absolute bomb out of it
