Success Against First Plus

Hi

I came on this site just a year ago in a dreadul state of stress having uncovered the truth about our PPI.

I just wanted to let you all know that following my referral of the case to the Ombudsman FP agreed to settle and put me back in the position had I not taken the PPI. They have today sent me a cheque for the 41 PPI payments made and a cheque for the 8% interest on said payments. They have also credited the loan with the PPI amount taken and also the interest paid on this.

Over the last year I have also claimed back two lots of credit card charges against MBNA, have a claim in against Egg card for PPI and another PPI for FP but through Freedom Finance. My eyes have truly been opened to the sneakiness of these companies and also my gullability.

All these claims and successes have stemmed from the encouragement and reassurances given in those early days not only on this site but also CAG and FP Complaints. I truly was at my wits end and have suffered a deep depression over the last 12 months due to the stress.

I just wanted to say thank you to those who responded to me for their time and the encouragement and reassurance given, it really did mean a lot.
