Hi guys!

I have recently made a claim to Lloyds for mis-sold PPI from back in 2002. They called me today for some more info and to be honest I felt as if the woman at lloyds was trying to trick me in to saying stuff. It was a very strange conversation.

I think the fact that I could remember the loan advisors first name and the that he told me by taking out the PPI it would improve my chances of being accepted; but yet I couldn't remember how much I borrowed seemed to baffle her...

She asked about my employment back then (I'm with the same employer now as I was then), sick pay, redundancy and death in service. All of which are covered by my employer.

I have absolutely no idea which way this is going to go; is this how all companies work out whether you have a claim or not?!?

Btw, if i am successful in my claim; how do they work out what to pay out? Anyway, fingers crossed.

Thanks for your time as always!

    Wait and see what happens, some banks do this so I would not read too much into this.

    If you were mis sold and win redress, you get PPI back that you actually paid plus 8% compensation.

    No need to for such paranoia, they are not trying to "trick" you into anything.
    If you have submitted a valid mis-selling complaint which is upheld, you'll receive a refund of all PPI paid plus 8% simple interest.
  • Thanks guys, would it be 8% interest on the PPI I paid up to the end of the loan period or up to when I made the PPI claim?

    The 8% is a decreasing amount from the loan start day to the date they pay the redress, the nearer you get to the redress date the less the 8% is, the 8% is on each monthly PPI payment only.
