Letter from Ombudsman - calculating possible settlement fee?

Hi all,

My wife has gone through the process and today we received a letter from the ombudsman which was a copy of a letter they have sent to the bank supporting her claim.

There seems to be 101 different ways to work out what the settlement might be. I can give the details here:

Loan was for £2,500. PPI policy cost £622.

This was taken out in 2002 and completely paid off by 2004.

Anyone able to work out an approx figure?

many thanks if you can!

    You'll receive a refund of the £622, plus attendant interest, plus 8% simple interest.

    Do remember that the Bank can still appeal this decision, so don't be counting any pennies just yet...

    622 minus any refund from an early settlement, plus the associated interest, plus 8% simple interest.
    You might get about 1,000 plus or minus a couple of hundred...

    Good point, the original early settlement figure would have included a rebate on the PPI figure.

    Thanks guys, I guess we'll just have to wait and see whether the bank upholds the decision and then go from there :-)
