Topshop Account

Thea

I started a topshop account with GE money in 2000 and paid an account premium of around £5-6 per month until September 2003 when i realised the minimum repayment i was making led to about a £5 reduction in the balance.

Anyway i went on to default in 2006, the debt was sold to Link Financial and as of Feb 2010 the debt is now clear.

Have I got a case for PPI misselling. I signed up instore and i remember been encouraged to take it. I also remember you had to be in employment, at that time i wasn't but i did not fill in the section on the form of employer details. I have all my statements from 2003 which work out at nearly £60 so i reckon between 2000 and 2003 i paid out around £180 for insurance i did not need.

Does anyone think id have a case? I could really do with the money to pay off other bills. Any advise welcome.:j

you can certainly write a letter and find out, it it very difficult for the company to prove that they did not encourage you to take it, and dont quote me but i think GE money have been paying back mis-sold ppi.
I have claimed back a few ppi claims and got more money back than i thought i would....
good luck and report your story!!
