ROP through Vanquis Bank

Hi - I've seen some discussions going back to 2012 regarding ROP through Vanquis Bank and was wondering if anybody had any new information regarding it. I ask as have only just realised I have been paying for it for years without me knowing I had it. Has anybody tried to reclaim it like with PPI ?

    I believe not. It's technically different to PPI as it freezes interest rather than making payments for you.

    An investigation by the OFT dates back to 2011 in fact but nothing really came out of that. The main objection to PPI was that it was required as a condition or that it was mis-sold, for example unemployment insurance sold to old age pensioners. However ROP is fundamentally different in that it is a clear option and the two variants of freezing interest or taking a payment holiday applies to most people. Incidentally, no I don't have it.
