Hiya
If there is no arrears, I believe you are in your right to request they send the payment directly to you, I would ask and check, as banks differ from one to the other, the best of luck.;)The one and only "Dizzy Di"0 -

I'd argue that if you hadn't been paying for the PPI, you would have had the use of that money to invest however you chose. It doesn't follow that you would necessarily have paid more off your card balance.
Plenty of people have savings for emergencies, and still use credit cards.0 -

Can't wait to see how much you get offered. Best of luck and can you keep a running total with your updates so we can all get jealous?;)
Rest assured you guys will be the first to knowHi Ian, sorry for the delay in responding.
I understand banks differ to one another, but realistically once all resolved, the monthly repayments should be reduced, however I have read that some have had issues where this have not been the case so keep an eye on that just in case.
But despite that I would assume a cheque would be sent, and maybe the balance reduced as well, because PPI should actually be removed and what you have paid plus interest should come back to you.
Hope that makes sense.;)
That also sounds about right in regards of the credit card, if that is higher, then the remaining should be refunded directly to you, plus interest.
Well in my case, we had a few loans with Lloyds, and one was outstanding, they refunded us directly on the settled accounts and the one outstanding they refunded the amount to that account and we received the interest, also the monthly repayments reduced if I remember correctly, this one was one of the earlier reclaims, but the balance debt was reduced.
Again with banks working differently I am not too certain on how Halifax works, but if there is anything remaining from any of them once resolved, they should all be refunded directly to you, you should at least receive something back anyway.
Good luck and with the tyres too, I know they're not cheap:eek: I remember with our Subaru:eek:.
All crossed here for you though, good luck.:);)
Cheers Di, pretty much what I expected.
