Nope, none to my recollection and can't say i've noticed any case studies on the FOS website that would suggest that that would happenAlso for example, did the bank disclose the commission they would receive as an introducer for the PPI? Was this included in the 'pop up' info?
Nothing to say that they had to.We've spent decades teaching people about their rights, but nothing about their responsibilities.0 -

That is not a reason for a missale in this instance.
Very occasionally it might be if you pay an intermediary to arrange a product and it is paid an undisclosed commission it might be (the Law has various nuances around this). In this instance, though, the bank has (presumably) introduced the business to organisation and you have not paid any kind of fee for it to do so. In these circumstances the Law takes the view that a reasonable person would suppose that a commission was being paid.0 -
I don't think there's any obligation for disclosure of commission on a non-advised sale like this. And this is only relevant and would only be addressed by the bank in their response if non-disclosure of commission was the reason given for complaint.
Only the OP knows what the reason they gave for their complaint was and whether the bank has addressed it and accurately described the on line application. If this was more of a generalised complaint as in 'I thought I had to have it' then it's going to be up to the OP to show why they thought that and how it was presented to them, not the bank.0 -
There is some posts on here that have had the same reply as ninja. Individuals have challenged MBNA and their final response letter, resulting in MBNA not being able to provide documentry proof of the ticky box and the T + C's in the seperate screen. They have subsequently paid out.0

I've heard of others but this bank stands out because they administer so many different cards.0
