Marks and Spencer PPI - Settlement?

Not sure what to do here - I made a phone call direct to M&S PPI line re being mis sold. I initially had a charge card from 1991, which automatically changed to a charge card to present day.

I have the paperwork from 1991 and the PPI box is ticked. It says 'We strongly recommend you take this cover by ticking this box'. I do recall I was advised to too.

Anyhow, They have replied by saying that they do not accept the allegations, but have offered me a goodwill gesture of an ex gratia payment - £288.66 which will return the protection premiums that have been paid since the account was transferred from a chargecard to a credit card.

Is this offer acceptable? I have no idea - Please could someone help before I reply.

Many thanks

    You've made what amounts to a "hearsay" complaint, a type which usually meet with total failure I'm afraid. This "goodwill" offer is likely the best you can expect.
