    • What were you reclaiming: Personal loan (graduate)
    • Who was the provider: HSBC
    • How much did you get back: £1081
    • Did you get it back after a letter or did you go to the Financial Ombudsman: After a letter
    • And then write your brief reclaim tale:
    I wrote to HSBC to cancel the PPI on my personal loan and also lodged a complaint using the template form on MSE (thanx!) citing mis-selling due to pressure and inappropriateness of loan PPI (due to being on fixed contract at the time).
    HSBC wrote back a few weeks later to say they were processing my complaint. This was followed by another "please wait" letter about 4 weeks later.
    Then.....HSBC wrote to me upholding my complaint and offering to settle! :T
    They also said they are not selling PPI anymore....what a coincidence with the new regulations....:rolleyes:
    The amount included interest-earned and reflected what I had paid over the last 5 years of the loan (2 to go), so I accepted.
    I had to go into a branch to sign papers restructuring my loan (as they couldn't just cancel the PPI apparently) and then....
    I GOT MY MONEY!!! :j (about a week ago).

    So....it's definitely worth doing.

    I guess I'll be using the money to pay off some debts....how good am I?! :rotfl:

    Good luck everyone!


    Wow, fantastic, well done and Congratulations !

    result, after nearly 2 years i finally recived a letter from HFC making an offer of over £7.000 pounds (which includes 8% interest) to refund ppi insurance misol
    d on my loan account.

    I had to take to ombudsman as my first request to HFC was refused, and while it was with the ombudsman they got fined so didnt have a leg to stand on, they call it a gesture of good will rather than admit they where at fault but it was worth the wait. Next stop capital one.


    Brilliant, :T
    Congratulations and well done, good luck with Cap One as well.

    Sent a letter to Halifax on 17th April requesting my PPI back from an old credit card. Had letter this morning agreeing to pay it all back plus the 8%. No argument at all. Am expecting approximately £400
