I just dont believe it!!

I am posting this as I am just bursting with relief! Di3004 and Amersall both have been towers of support with my claim which has been going on for four years and I wanted to give you the latest... Last week I had a letter from Lloyds saying they upheld my claim and were going to div up. £6630.37. They said they were going to send me cheque 'shortly' and when I rang this morning and spoke to a lovely guy called Tom to ask if I could have it put straight into my account nothing was too much trouble - I should bloudy well think so after all this time!!.

No doubt I shall get a bill from the CC but they can wait. I had to wait with their ineptness and total cavalier attitude for four years so :p to them!! Anyway, the upshot for all you guys waiting and endlessly waiting sometimes these things do work out. The offer is £5K more than I thought so at least I can get my car fixed now. I am just so relieved that its all nearly over.

I going to have carved on my tombstone I KNEW I WAS RIGHT!!!

Good luck to you all and most of all thanks to Di3004 and Amersall - I dont know who you are but you kept me going so thank you for all that...

    Congratulations Mrs-Stressed now "Mrs Happy" :D:):T:T:T:T lol, and so happy for you.

    Its been an absolute pleasure to help, your very welcome, well done to you! And remember you done the hardest of the work!:beer::beer::beer::beer::beer: XXXXXXXXXX

  • Di3004 - this is the first time I have ever liked all those blobby things jumping up and down - normally they do 'my head in' but today I am just so chuffed. Once the £ is in my bank I shall allow myself a glass of chilled white wine and a bag of crisps to celebrate! I am a confirmed MSE now and I shall watch this lot very carefully and never again will I sign anything or do anything that will come back and bite me on the bum - especially relating to banks. Infact I wish I could go back to the days of the tin under the mattress. Much safer!

    Di, you help so many people and I do hope you get your current claims sorted - I have been reading your posts very carefully and my fingers are so crossed!!

    Thank you once again. Mind you Di, I havent got the money yet have I! But its still a huge relief to have got this far after so long...

    :T:T:T:T Well done:T:T:T:T Did they get the calculations wrong the first time that you are getting another £5k
  • Make sure you check what they pay, my calculations have come to a variation of figures so far:
    Original: 6500 (Calculated by RISK and Compliance team)
    Calc #2: 8500 (Calculated by calcs team due to typo and them missing one account)
    Calc #3: 13000 (Calculated by calcs team due to them missing out the loan adjustment as ppi cancelled incorrectly)
    Calc #4: 6000 (Calculated by calcs team saying the loan adjustment was already refunded to loan and yet again forgetting other accounts)
    Calc #5: 9500 (this is what they have said they paid me on friday, just waiting for it to clear)

    Lets see what I actually get tomorrow/wednesday.

    I havent been paid anything previously at all so this is just brilliant. I am accepting the offer as it stands. Due to me moving house a couple of times lots of statements and stuff went AWOL so I do not know exactly how much PPI I paid but I calculated around £1K ish. Their calculations are based on interest over the four years and then added on 'other' payments. Result AT LONG LAST. I am pleased but not without the stress, utter frustration at the lack of communication, end result and the fact that they were implying that I was wrong and they were right. How WRONG they were...

    Cant wait for my wine and a bag of crisps to celebrate!!
  • Hi Ian,
