  • hi

    from reading past postings some of you have talked about a letter sent in june 2005, i did receive this letter but at the time didnt take much notice, should i send it in with my complaint letter or act like i never got it?
  • I never had a letter - but i don't see the harm in you sending a copy of it to them with your complaint.

    brilliant news - well done.

    I guess you won't be investing it in another AXA policy.


    Thanks from me too, although I did get my money & a little interest it was rubbish for 12 years payments. My surrender value has been received & as of this morning tucked up in an ISA! :j
    NEVER ASSUME! :rolleyes:
  • just a few questions-


    can anybody tell me how to work out the amount i should recieve?

    how long was it before people heard back once complaint letter was sent?

    and also did antbody ask for more than the standard 1%?


    any feedback most appreciated
    thanx

    you should received back all the money you have paid them plus interest.

    I think they only pay a set amount of interest.

    My letters were replied to quite quickly, had full refund in weeks i think.

    I have two of these policies and I have just found this thread should I look at cashing them in or should I stick with them for a while longer. The only details I have to hand it that I started putting in £10 and over the five years It has risen to £20 I think that I have another 5 years or so left on them both. I wil have to dig out all the info before I am sure of the end date though.

    Catwoman I only had 3 years left on my 15 year policy - I have cashed in & put in an ISA. I got approx £240 for 12 years saving - rubbish! I can probably do more than that in 3 years in my ISA.
    I have no regrets in cancelling - money in ISA, £20 a month being added.

    Find your policies & ask for a surrender value - it wont hurt.

    Good luck!

    don't accept the surrender value - that will only be half of what you have paid in

    you need to write and ask for all of your payments back plus interest

    Just to be clear I did get all that I paid into my policy plus approx £240.00 interest.
