  • Hi all
    I have received my 2nd offer from santander today for £3243.86. I first complained last tuesday 26/7/11 and have gotten results on both previous loans. I am delighted and £5500 better off. I would advise anyone with a claim against santander to phone the complaints department on 0845 600 6014 as i thought they were fantastic to deal with, not to mention a VERY QUICK response. Should have the money paid into my account within 2 weeks
  • After reading all the reclaim advice many times I decided to give it a go, I didn't expect much as I didn't even know if I qualified as my account with MBNA had been closed for some time, instead of writing I rang them. (a freephone number)
    2 Weeks later a letter arrived telling me they would investigate, 1 week after that a letter arrived informing me the complaint would be upheld, about 3 weeks later a cheque arrived £3002.40.:j:beer::D

    Without this site I would never have bothered thank you all so much, gave me the bottle to get MY money back, thanks again.:T

    Hi all
    Just received £1107.29 from barclays for overdraft protection payments.
    This was put directly into my account today. I am still waiting for them to pay for the ppi on 2 loans, although this shouldn't take long, hopefully.

    This is a brilliant site full of help and inspiration.

    :rotfl::j:beer: WELL DONE & BEST OF LUCK WITH YOUR OTHERS :beer::j:rotfl:

    I put in a PPI claim to Halifax (credit card), it went to the FOS but yesterday I logged into my online banking and my credit card is £1127 in credit!! I guess that means I've won (have not been advised via post or anything yet either by halifax, solicitor or FOS!!!)
    Is this the way it usually works, I would have thought I might have received an offer letter in writing first. Not complaining though, £1000 is very handy at the moment!


    I havent continued to read any further posts in case anyone else has commented but apologies for any repeats.

    I got my Halifax cc ppi put back on my card and 3 days later they took it back to replace it with a cheque so i could do what i wanted with it. They told me they were NOT ALLOWED to put it back onto a credit card so pls pls double check this xxx

    Another letter of acknowledgement from RBS, this time in relation to my AA Credit Card.

    and my questionaire to Egg has been returned in a Royal Mail envelope with a note stating that "this article was found loose in the post" ! So much for recorded delivery!

    Just a quick note on timescales my Central Trust complaint was logged with the FOS on the 24th June 11, received a letter today from the FOS to say " due to receiving 5000 complaints a week it will be another 3 months until we get to the adjudicator" there is also a warning saying the case could take well over a year.
    I hope this helps anyone wondering the length of time it takes at the FOS.


    Hiya Nat

    Thanks for posting this up.

    Golly :eek: that is extremely high, hopefully they are still taking on more staff to cater for this.
    Good luck with yours too x;)
