    Can I ask when you opened this account as my oh has just had the his complaint rejected for the same reason and believes the box was pre-ticked as well,
    It was Summer 2007 before all lenders agreed to stop this practice, so anything taken out prior to this may well have had a pre-ticked box. Good luck!

    The FOS did not say anything. I sent off all the copies of all the letters and emails between MBNA and me. Also filled out the FOS form. Received the usual letter back saying it could be up to a year because of the back log. 6 weeks later received letter from FOS saying MBNA is going to make a goodwill payment under the FOS terms. 6 weeks later had the cheque for 16K. I did see on this site that MBNA did use pre-ticked boxes so added this to the FOS form.

    Hope this helps.

    thanks for the info, i will let you know how i get on.

    Hi and welcome

    I am aware if there are any outstanding arrears they are allowed to use the refund towards them, and also any balance, but anything remaining should come back to you plus the interest.
    It does however vary from one bank/business to the other, and to what I am aware of as long as the arrears are cleared, you can argue that you would prefer to receive the remainder of what is left, because you were hoping to use the money for maybe another debt.

    On settled accounts, you should receive all your refund.

    However, did you sign, or did they just automatically do this?

  • Did anyone take out a policy with CPP some way back and will this inhibit or indeed be fatal to a claim for wrongful PPI on a credit card?

    After 8 weeks waiting on a decision from Barclaycard Egg they have sent me a letter to say they have still not come to a final conclusion and need more time. The letter gives no time line but advises that if I wish I can approach the FOS. Does this sound like they are staking before sending my rejection letter or staling cause my claim will be upheld and they don't want to pay out? The FOS should sort Barclaycard out and insist that they get their act together instead of pushing work in the direction of the FOS. Any suggestions? I have emailed Bob Diamond and David Chan today to tell them of their disgusting service and how they faired against HSBC and Halifax
