Lloyds tsb offering a refund?

Hi,

Lloyds have written to my other half (after trying to phone him for weeks but he thought they were trying to sell him something!) informing him that a loan he took out may be subject to a ppi refund. (He didn't even know he was paying ppi) the loan was some time ago and has been settled for a while.

My question is, if he is due a refund of ppi, as they have contacted him and they are calculating it are they likely to be offering the exact amount he is due back plus the interest we have been reading about or do banks still try and get away with "gesture of good will" payments I heard of a few years ago?

Thanks for any help you can offer

    the redress method is defined by the FCA.

    The FCA is the regulator. They have defined the redress method that the companies should use. Redress is what you get if your complaint is upheld.
