    Has anybody got the address for the ombudsman, I want to send a complaint about Banksmart
    There is NO ombudsman to complain to about Banksmart.

    You can only complain to the Ministry of Justice about them.

    I'm dealing with a company called Bank Smart and they have said I owe the £200 for recovering my ppi. They haven't recovered any money so where do I stand

    Write to them and ask them what basis the charge is on - complain about the harassment for payment if you have not had a refund.

    If they keep going, complain to the Legal Ombudsman

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
