PPI Reclaiming successes and failures

Egg Success!!
I was called a few weeks ago by a company that claims PPI back and after checking the boards, I decided to try it myself on Egg. I have now had an offer in writing for £1100 on the Egg credit card, which is all the PPI plus 8% interest, and a verbal offer of £3100 on my loan (to be put in writing to me tomorrow), which will clear it in full. This will free up about £250 per month for us which is a lifesaver.
Thanks all for your help and will keep you informed on the others.
Brilliant, Congratulations!:T:beer::jThe one and only "Dizzy Di"0 -

I have also started a new thread with this as I wasn't sure of the best place to post to get a quick response. Apologies if that is bad etiquette.
After 3 years since my first letter, I heard from the Financial Ombudsmen regarding the PPI claim that I made from Norton (loan with First Plus), they agreed with me that PPI was mis-sold and that I would hear from Norton within 3 months regarding my refund.
I got a letter from Norton today. They claim that the have contacted First Plus and that they were told I had cancelled my PPI in the first 30 days and a full refund applied to the loan account so no refund is due and that my file has been closed by them on this matter.
1. I have NEVER cancelled this insurance.
2. Surely if the insurance had been cancelled, regardless of by whom, the capital amount would have been reduced?
Here are some figures, I am hoping that someone familiar with working these things out can help me so that I can call First Plus and challenge them:
Amount of Credit: £66000
PPP Loan: 13153.80
Total: 79153.80
Monthly repayments:
Cash Loan: 598.44
PPP Loan: 119.27
Total: 717.71
Number of repayments: 300
APR: 10.4% (variable)
Interest Rate (variable): 9.97%
My current payments are: £762 per month (they have been as high as £814 a couple of years back)
My current balance (taken from my credit report) is: £76882.00
I have stepped through every payment made (also logged on my credit report) and at no point did the end figure represent any difference as should have surely been made had the PPI been paid back).
I have made exactly 48 payments (4 years).
Am I missing something really obvious or are they trying to con me into leaving this and just walking away?
If anyone at all can help me with some ammunition for my phone call, I would really appreciate it very much. If anyone can also see something that I am missing, I would equally appreciate it. If you could also let me know what I need to ask for as proof of what I am paying for (breakdown etc) that would also be great.
I am at my wits end. I can't go back and start all over again. I am reeling from the shock and feel that this is very much unjustified.
Many thanks to all of you.

Hiya
Sorry I'm late posting, I have not long signed back in.
It may be a good idea to request a Subject access request (SAR), they should forward all data going back the last 6 years, so this should prove where cancellation taken place, if you cannot find anything in relation of the cancellation then you have this to go by.
So if you've not done so yet, to request a SAR, use the template letter below, enclose £10 cheque or postal order, they have 40 calendar days to comply.

Let us know otherwise if you have already done this and we shall try to get down to other matters.
Good luck with this.;)The one and only "Dizzy Di"0 -
LOYDS have today paid my BLRI (Business Loan Repayment Insurance) refund into Business Bank Account. This was through FOS and we signed acceptance forms late September. Got in touch with my Business Bank Manager earlier this week to ask what would happen and Bless him he got them to pay it straight away. So it seems they are still paying out. Fingers crossed all those waiting.:mad:0
