My PPI claim

Hi, a little help and advice please.

I put in a ppi claim against halifax 2 years ago through a specialist law firm that deals with such claims.

I got recommended the specialist company through a colleague at work who had success within 6 months. What was uncanny was that my colleagues circumstances of loan borrowing, terms and lender was exactly the same as mine! I seem to have hit a brick wall with my claim seemingly through some bad advice from my case worker and some legislation changes apparently!

Within the first 6 months of the claim i was offered a settlement from halifax which i thought was derisory and coupled with the advice from my solicitor i turned it down.

To make matters worse my case worker asked me to make a statement against my better judgement about the actual person who sold me the ppi at halifax some 6 years ago. What transpired is i incorrectly described the individual (i said it was a woman and it was a man).

Halifax's solicitors have seized on this point for obvious reasons and im fuming with the case worker for bad advice which has culminated in a stalemate.

There's too much detail to bore you with but thats the outline of my case and i need some help aside my my representatives.

To finish, my loan was for £10,000 over 7 years and im in the final 12 months and im still paying the ppi!

Thanks in advance.
