Firstplus PPI Avoiding me!

Still awaiting my offer from Firstplus after receiving a letter from FOS stating they were going to pay out blah blah blah..
My claim should be sorted by 31st August. I have phoned them and got hung up on three times now. Got to speak to someone today who tells me the offer letter was sent out on the 15th August.
I have not received anything.
Back when i started the claim (before FOS got involved) they kept sending letters to my old address, and even though i advised them 3 times of my new address i still did not receive the letters i was expecting. Thats when i got FOS involved. The guy assured me today it was sent to my correct address but i dont think so- or it hasn`t been sent at all. Glad when this is all over and the moneys in my bank account. Has any one else experienced missing letters?

    Hi

    So sorry to hear your situation.

    I would email the CEO and raise your concerns with them, also ask if they would be kind enough to email you a copy of the letter that you was supposed to have received way by now.
    Keep at them, good luck.
    The one and only "Dizzy Di" :D

    Still not received any letter.
    So last night i emailed the CEO stating what has been going on namely i keep getting told letters have gone out to me but i have not received any thing. On that email i gave my correct address.
    Today i have a reply confirming that a letter has been sent out to me today and yes you guessed it - to the WRONG address, my old address. So even though i have put the correct address on that email they still send it to the wrong address. Staggering.
    I have just sent another strongly worded email to the CEO.
    Idiots the lot of them.

    I would go back to FOS and report that you have not received an offer. When it becomes apparent that it has been sent to the wrong address, ask for a "distress and inconvenience" payment.

    oooh, a distress and inconvenience payment sounds good. I think its right they should pay up for messing me around and basically being such dimwits. Who would i raise that with ? The FOS or directly to barclays/firstplus?



    PS I now have my offer letter as i decided to do the hour drive to my old address to see if they have kept any post for me, and luckily they did but i am not going to tell Barclays Firstplus that and hope they dont read these boards!!
