    I had a PPI policy with Pinnacle to "cover" my mortgage with Northern Rock taken out in 1995 and redeemed in 2004.

    I had an enquiry from an agency offering to help reclaim, but after reading this forum decided to give it a go myself.

    I filled-in the form/template supplied here and handed it in to the local NR branch. A couple of weeks later I received a claim pack from NR asking me to complete the very same form! No problem - just put exactly the same details in again. After another few weeks I received an offer of over £1400! I calculated I had made 99 payments and the offer included 93 payments - apparently I got 6 months free!? Tried to check bank statements but they don't keep them that long so I accepted the offer and banked the cheque last week.

    Many thanks Money Saving Experts!!:beer:
    Well done :j:j:j
  • Just a quick but huge THANK YOU to Martin.

    I followed your instructions and have successfully claimed back all the PPI on my Abbey/Santander loan.

    It took just one letter and just over a month.

    Thank you so much.

  • Hi,

    I reclaimed the ppi off a loan that was sold to me by alliance and Leicester (now santander).

    All I had to do was send the financial ombudsman complaint form to there "lets sort it out" address and they replied offering the ppi back with 8% interest back.

    Thank you very much :j :T :)
