How much should I get??

Hello all, apologies if this has already been discussed - i had a look but couldn't find a thread anywhere...

I have recently claimed for my PPI back, and have been sent a letter from Nationwide today stating I am due around £360. This is for a £5000 loan, which obviously had PPI on, but I beleive I paid it all off within a year or so.

Does £360 sound about right?? It said something along the lines of £190 for the payments, plus interest, plus a few other things as well...

I was expecting around £1000... but does the fact that I paid off the loan in full, early mean I wouldn't have spent that much on PPI??

    Yes, paying off the loan so early would have meant the Bank applied a large rebate to the PPI you would have paid if you had continued the full term of the loan.
    You only get back what you actually paid, plus 8% simple interest.
  • Ah, fair enough, makes sense I guess!! Thanks very much.
