How long does it take - Barclays PPI

Options
From the point of contacting Barclays to reclaim PPI, can someone please advise how long I can expect to wait for the claim to be settled and monies paid into my bank account?

Many thanks.

    Hi and welcome

    It's difficult to predict a timescale, although they should have 8 weeks as from when they received your complaint to give you a decision.

    If successful, they may send you an acceptance offer form to sign, and it used to be that of 28 days approx after they receive your acceptance - you would receive your refund.
    But they have been behind due to backlogs.

    No harm in contacting them now and again though to ask for updates, good luck.

    Hi there,

    I submitted an application regarding the PPI on my overdraft and, form start to finish, the whole thing only took 8 weeks - after reading some of the horror stories on here about lengthy durations, I thought 8 weeks was quite good.

    Good Luck.
  • I made a PPI claim against Barclays in July 2011. I just receieved a letter this week giving me a full refund of over £3100. So overall it took me 7 months, but it was worth the persistance.
  • It took 9 months for me to get an answer out of them and several letters of complaint to get them to address my claim. Eventually I got a phone call last Friday where they said that they were still awaiting my acceptance of the offer, which I had never been sent! I got this through on Saturday and sent it back straight away so hopefully it won't be much longer. Considering it's been so long already though I'm not holding my breath!

    I made my complaint on 17th may 2012 and have just sent back my acceptance, so not to long to wait.
