PPI Reclaiming successes and failures
Comments

I recently contacted HSBC regarding two mis-sold PPI claims on personal loans. They very generously contacted me to to tell me I actually had 6 loans in total containing PPI - so I thanked them very much and completed a further 4 claims.
Today I received a offer from them upholding my claim on all 6 loans. Offering me £3,200. A very brief breakdown containing the following for each one
PPI Premium Redress;
Plus taxable interest at 8%
I was wondering if I am entitled to anything else - I never actually completed any of the loans as each loan was a consolidation of the previous loans plus a bit extra, so would they have taken this into account, my thinking is that each additional loan to would have been more due to interest on the PPI element or have I got ths wrong
Sorry its a bit long winded but any advise woud be great
Thanks
When you settled the first loan with the second one, they would have given you a rebate of the PPI, this is what happens with all these loans, the remaining PPI after the rebate would have been put onto the next loan after the rebate and so on.
When you win redress, they give you the whole PPI back for each loan, they then take off the rebate they gave you when you consolidated each loan, you then get the PPI back that you actually paid to each loan and the 8%.
The 8% is compensation and is taxable if you are a taxpayer.0 -

Hi, can anyone help please? I have recently had a claim upheld by FSCS against Freedom Finance. I had two loans, one of which I had received a refund of the premiums after 5 years, the other I hadn't but FSCS want proof that I haven't had it. First Plus, who the loan was with, haven't been very helpful. Has anyone else had this problem and how did you resolve it?
Also the redress from FSCS is nowhere near the 8% that other companies are paying, it looks nearer to the 0.1% that some current accounts pay these days. Is this right?
Thanks for any help.
The FSCS only pay compensation for a mis sell, I think it is 90% of the actual PPI, I was not aware that they paid any form of % for compensation.0 -

Incidentally, they are the only ones who have yet to acknowledge my PPI claim, despite my having a proof of receipt.I incurred the debt, I repaid the debt - all of it!DMP started with CCCS 20/07/2007 Was £32,735. Paid off all my creditors (June 2013) 7 yrs ahead of original DFD.

Hiya
If you contact/write to the business you can ask them to send you a detailed breakdown of the settlement, they should send you this any time you ask.
This will enclose details of the PPI, of what is what etc..;)The one and only "Dizzy Di"0 -

Hi,
Not sure if I'm posting this in the right place? Never used a forum before!
I have today received a letter from Santander refusing my claim for mis-selling of PPI or as they call it, account cover.
They attach a copy of the debenhams account card application form quite clearly showing my signature in the account cover box. the assistant has crossed all the boxes I had to sign in. Could I have been misled? I seem to remember being told by the assistant that I would be more likely to be accepted for the card if I took out the insurance but as Santander say, there is no evidence that points towards this i.e my word against theirs!
My question to you is, shall i just give up and forget it or does anyone have a suggestion as to how I could proceed?
Thanks
