They were quite happy to ignore my letters for the 6 months.
I think I'll press ahead on them grounds.
Cheers for all your help.0 -

Press ahead with what? The FOS will simply confirm the 6 month time period was missed, ask the bank if they will re-open and they'll most likely say no.
As I stated before, once the bank rejects and tells you about the FOS option, the 6 months starts ticking, your issue was continuing to chase the bank after they rejected it instead of going to the FOS
Bare in mind if you're taking them to court it will become an issue of proving they have done something wrong and the courts are liable to look at the rules (such as the 6 month referral limit) and side with the bank. You really need to put this one to bed, you are realistically not going to get any furtherSam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

That's because you kept harrasing them with letters when they had already turned down your claim!. Why didn't you send letters to the FOS in this time like you were supposed to?0 -

Why ask here if you were going ahead regardless?

Have you discovered that the seller did receive a big, undisclosed commission, or is this simply some sort of fantasy?if it had received a big, undisclosed commission0 -

Do not mistake negativity when the poster only contributes to the threads on more difficult subjects. By default, the responses will be of that nature.C) 'The judgment on the case Plevin v Paragon Personal Finance paves the way for a new stream of customers to receive compensation for Britain’s biggest mis-selling scandal.

Plevin is an issue but a minor one. Commission does tend to be above 50% on loan PPI (figures of around 65% are not uncommon). However, it is only the excess above 50% that will be refunded. Mortgage PPI is way below 50%. So, that is unaffected. Credit card PPI is typically just under 50% too.
Importantly, the FCA have said that providers do not need to go back on previously rejected complaints to review. That doesnt mean they will not look at old ones on request but as the Plevin ruling hasn't come into play yet, it is premature to quote plevin in a follow up. That is something to do later this year.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only.

As the case is now outside the jurisdiction of FOS and the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, there is at least a theoretical possibility that the bank could charge you for a frivolous and vexatious claim.A) what have I got to loose?
You are going to die one day. That is an even more negative post than those by moneyineptitude. That does not make it any less true, though.

There is little point seeking guidance if you are going to ignore or object to any comments that are not what you want to hear.
Had your case already gone to FOS and this issue NOT been addressed, you might have grounds for it to be reopened. However, as FOS has already told you that you are too late, it seems most unlikely that it will reopen the case.C) 'The judgment on the case Plevin v Paragon Personal Finance paves the way for a new stream of customers to receive compensation for Britain’s biggest mis-selling scandal.

If you really insist, I suggest you contact FOS, give the reference number quoted in the previous correspondence in which it told you that you were too late and ask if it will reopen the case in the light of Plevin.
I doubt you will get the answer you want.0
