  • Jeffs,

    Did you ever get anywhere with getting your money back from First Plus / Bright?

    I am jut starting my claim for my PPI and am trying to get hold of Bright but no joy. I read on the forum that they have gone into administration does this mean I can't claim now?

  • I'm in the same boat with Bright Finance and First Plus but my loan was taken out in October 2004. I just been informed that my claim is not eligible as it is pre the January 2005 FSA regulation. Does anyone have any suggestions as to whether I can take this further?

    Any help would be really appreciated.

    you can take your claim to the Insurance Underwriters - in the case of First Plust this is Lloyds of London - they are pretty good at handling complaints !

    Hi Stuart it all depends upon when you took out your claim - pre 15th january 2005 take your complaint to the Insurance Underwriters - Lloyds of London, post 15th January 2005 take it to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) - this is a government run body responsible for making compensation for companies who are in receivership !!
  • Can anyone tell me the insurance underwriters for Bright Finance Nov 2003 or how I can find out?

    Thanks,
  • Hi i need this information also please about bright finance - contact address please, thanks all :)

    Bright Finance are not trading. I have a complaint against them with the FSCS at the moment.
