    were you incapable of checking yourself? Or of forwarding your complaint to the FOS?

    You just paid a company to do something you could have done yourself.
    Hardly a victory.

    It's well known the MBNA are indeed reviewing earlier PPI complaints (even some they actually upheld).

    You've paid a lot of money unnecessarily to a company who only did what you could have done yourself.

    MBNA have been running a lot of reviews on past case decisions. A lot of this is being voluntarily but people who have gone back and queried a decision themselves have found their case reviewed and decision changed. The involvement of a claims company added nothing. It just needed a prompt from someone to get a review made.
