    Hello again Di and Marshallka,

    I hope all is well.

    I take it from what you have said i that I have been paying off my PPI first of all but they will calculate it as though I have been paying it off according to the monthly structure as laid down on the Credit Agreement and refund accordingly. So, the monthly costs of the PPI will be refunded + interest but the rest that I have already unkowingly paid towards the PPI will be taken off my outstanding cash loan amount.

    I suppose it's up to them how they settle the debt once you have given them the repayment but it seems a little strange that a bank would state, on a contract, how the debt will be repaid and then use the repayments to settle the debt in another way which is more profitable to them.

    Next step then is a call to say thanks for an effective resolve and to request a final figure.

    Yeah, good news eh! If my calculations are correct then the PPI payments to date add up to a lot more than I was covered for anyhow (12 x loan payments).

    :beer:..... oh, sod it, it's a wednesday... let have another:beer:

    Maybe it was just my circumstances that they agreed were inappropriate for the insurance but I like to believe that it was my manner of dealing with the matter. I did get frustrated in their initial responses but, thanks mainly to you guys informing me of the standard protocol that must be followed by all bank representatives, I was able to see the bigger picture and therefore deal with it in a very calm and friendly manner (telephone and letters).

    Still no fat lady so lets not hold our breath just yet!
