    hello, new to the site and was after some advice,

    i got a secured loan from picture finance which started on 3rd april 2007, the loan was for £43500 and the ppi was £10,853 (which wasnt pointed out as optional at the time, and because of financial constraints i had to take the loan over 300 months.

    several months after taking out the loan i decided to move the amount on to my mortgage and pay picture off, however after being told that the settlement figure was nearly £54000 due to the ppi being invested for 5 years i decided against the move.

    i tried to reclaim the ppi using a third party last year and was advised by them that the refund would be £450 which seemed pitifully low for a policy i'd been paying in to for 16 months, so i decided to keep paying the ppi with the knowledge that i would be getting premiums back (£2648 after 3 years, £1588 after 4 years and £1059 after the 5th year.).

    i was alarmed to read that picture had gone in to default and was just wondering what people would advise i do, either wait for the premiums to arrive back which should be due next april/may. or try and force a claim through for mis sold ppi, and again if anyone could give me some advice on how much the claim should roughly be for it would be appreciated.

    sorry to ramble and thanks in advance for any advice.

    i should really be more financially switched on, and avoid making stupid decisions

    Hello and welcome.;)

    I would still start with a claim on this with the Financial compensation scheme (FSCS), there have been some issues in regards of the No claims bonus, if you read back on the posts you will find more info, but it makes now difference and you can still reclaim through the FCSC.

    Give them a ring to arrange for them to send you a form here:
    http://www.fscs.org.uk/contacts/

    If you have any paperwork to support your case, get them photocopied and enclose them with the form to the FSCS, if your in any hardship as well, let them know and they will consider treating your case as priority.

    My case is not with Picture but with another company that have also gone into default, however the main of them on here are Picture claimants and you will receive very helpful advice.

    Hey bless you, your not rambling lol, you have every right to chat away and get some help X
    Please feel free to join in and please keep us posted.

    Good luck.;)
