    I do remember the conversation very clearly...

    In which case you should remember that it sounded like good advice.

    1. Statute of limitations. It happened over 15 years ago. Any possible legal case has no legs left.

    2. The interest and PPI on the loan was probably in the region of £100 in total. If a customer had repeating bank charges the loan almost certainly saved money.

    3. The question is highly speculative and the poster has, in my view, failed to articulate what the bank did wrong.

    Apart from that, go for it!

    Just to clarify. ..I said ideally I'd like to be refunded not that I expected to be!
    No doubt, everyone who has ever taken out a loan would ideally quite like to have it refunded. But they aren't expecting it to be, either.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.
  • OP if they refund you the loan monies they would have to recalculate the overdraft and interest and charges which they could legitimate claim back from you.
    On a scale of 1 to 100 you have -10 at best chance of getting anywhere with this.

    And what a "refunded" loan means is that they would like to be given a bunch of cash from the bank. Who wouldn't like free money?

  • The answer to your question lies in the third line of your original post - "I stupidly agreed to this".

    You cannot blame others for your stupidity. Especially after 16 years.

  • Dont like the loan terms, dont sign on the dotted line.

    It is perfectly legal (If you hold a credit licence) to offer a loan at a million percent interest.

    I would rather like my mortgage refunded in full, when they said it would take 25 years to repay I assumed that they were joking and I wouldn't have to keep making payments that long.

    Do you reckon I am in with a shout and if so should I also demand compensation?
