Northern Rock

Hello all

A while back I appointed a solicitor to get my PPI back from NR. The case was won and NR duly sent back the PPI plus interest. However, I seem to remember on a letter I received from my solicitor that I had the option to also have (from memory) the loan looked into and possibly cancelled. I declined this option.

Cut to now (2 years later) I instructed a firm to look into the NR loan to see if it was mis-sold. This was over 7 months ago. I rang the solicitor today to get a progress update and they are now applying for insurance against the claim.

I'd not normally ask the question but the same firm also looked into a Black Horse agreement and immediately said their agreement was sound whereas the NR agreement seems to be on shaky ground.

Can someone tell me if, in their opinion, the NR claim looks good or if the solicitor is just protecting their backs.

Thanks

Darren.
