    Hi, a newbie here. Just wondering if anyone can advise me on claiming for a credit card as I've had the card over twenty years and have no idea how i applied for it. Just can't remember if it was by post or at the bank. I only realised I had PPI from coming on this site. Also I sent off my details for my bank loans about April and have had one letter of acknowledgment dated 30th June and nothing else. From reading some of these posts i realise some people have been waiting a long time for their payouts but should I have received a letter of some sorts by now. Any advice gratefully received.

  • Hi everyone,

    An encouraging tale for anyone thinking of reclaiming PPI:

    I recently reclaimed the PPI on a £7000 loan I took out in 2008 with Alliance and Leicester. Having read Martin's article, I filled out the Financial Ombudsman form, sent it off to Santander (which has since bought A&L). They cancelled my PPI policy immediatelty and paid me back all of my contributions to date (£2500).

    My complaint was that, at the time of sale, I had been told over the phone that the approval for the loan depended on me taking the insurance. A&L were fined by the FSA for this form of misselling during the period that I took my loan out. So, not a leg to stand on!

    One final note is that A&L had actually written to me previously about possible misselling as a result of the FSA's judgement. In that letter they gave me a short window of opportunity to make a complaint, giving the illusion that I wouldn't be able to claim after that window. Well I claimed three years later and it was all fine.

    Good luck to everyone else!

    Cheers,

    Tom

    i have just recieved payment for lloyds tsb credit card today for 9052.92
    my complaint was first logged june the 6th
    recieved upheld letter 8th of september
    calculations letter the 15th of september
    im just waiting now to hear off them for the four years they missed off credit card, as that had to be logged as a seperate claim because the only paid till 2004 and the card ran from 2001 and and was always maxed out.
    like to wish everyone else good luck with there claims and to keep pestering them i did

    Was your payment a cheque from Lloyds?? Because mine was upheld on the 8th September was just wondering if I might receive mine soon.:rotfl:
