    Hi Longword,

    Just wanted to reiterate what Clare has said really - this is most definitely worth pursuing as you will get there in the end, but don't expect a quick result!

    Like Clare, my complaint (against Norton although my loan was with Swift) was sent in during the late spring of 2009 and only last month I finally received my refund cheque. Norton will use all manner of delaying tactics to avoid paying out - watch out for excuses blaming the Jidicial Review into PPI - but almost all mis-sold PPI complaints against them are eventually upheld by the FOS. You just need a barrowful of patience and determination to see it through to the bitter end.

    Whatever you do, don't let them fob you off - in my case they produced a telephone recording of the PPI sale which they were adamant constituted irrefutable proof that it wasn't mis-sold. The FOS didn't agree and I now have all my premiums plus interest back!

    Good Luck and keep us posted!

    PS @ Clare - any news on yours at all hun?

    Still hanging in there LL, we should be with the Ombudsman by now after Norton did not agree with the Adjudicator, not expecting to hear anything until after Christmas. I did write like you suggested and reminded them of our situation and that they already had fast tracked as a "hardship case"

  • We spoke to adjudicator today who said he would be making a decision over the next week, i am prepared for Norton not to agree with the adjudicators decision if they uphold our complaint.

    Just a little more patience hopefully fingers crossed x Good luck all
