    Ah - that explains it then...I asked Barclays about the progress of my PPI claims on Friday, and they told me that some of them referred to overdrafts with ppi. I didn't realise. I wonder how much they were for? Hmmmm!

    Likewise, I had Barclays additions for years, this is the first I've heard of any PPI on it. I'll give them a call tomorrow.

    Congratulations! :T

    Saw on the other thread that you'd been successful. Well done!!
    Can I ask when did you put in your claim and did Barclays give you details as how they calculated this amount in their letter.

    I am waiting for them to review my claim and reply to me by November 4th so wondered if they are on track.
    Thanks
  • Hi, just seen this thread - so you can claim back Overdraft PPI, I had an additions account for about 10 years until last year when I was offered a Premier account. Is it worthwhile trying to claim this back? And is this a lengthy process as my account is closed. Your thoughts please ladies and gentleman.

    I claimed beginning of July. Not had my money yet...in fact, Barclays have not contacted me since sending the letter stating how much I am owed. And my husband had his claim refused - Barclays said they could find not trace of policy...they mustn't have looked very hard as it was attached to the paperwork! :rotfl: Now they are reinvestigating, and said they will let him know in 16/12/8 weeks (they didn't delete any of the alternatives!!!).
    I wonder when we'll hear anything or receive any money? I'd like it before December, as I need to redecorate before Christmas!
  • I have just been offered £1972 from Barclays for two of my accounts with overdraft protection, my dad,sister and mother-in-law are awaiting calculations so complain if you never asked for it. In many cases they added it to customers accounts without asking and never got signed agreements!!!
    Mortgage Feb 2015 £178,500 END 2043!!


    MFW 2015 £100 /£1000

    Watch this space, my MF end date will tumble!!

    Thanks SandyMc for replying.
    I am still waiting for my reply from Barclays but I hope to hear soon because I too put in my claim at the begining of July.
    I then intend to claim for my overdraft protection as I hope I will have cleared my overdraft.
    I then will change banks after 40 years with Barclays. Remembering how the girl in the bank told me I needed ppi when she knew I was covered as a teacher just "to be safe" leaves a nasty taste in my mouth. The value of ppi was nearly 30% of the loan:(:( bet she was on a hefty commission.
    Then to add insult to injury they charge me £20 a month for upgrading me to an Additions Account:( Not sure how many years yet as I only have statements back to 2004. No signed agreements!

    I would love to have some money before Christmas but cant see that happening.
    Good luck with the decorating ;)

    Thanks for that bit of info, much appreciated, I'll give them a call and see what I can find out. :)
