Hi

Hoping someone will help here or point me in the right direction.

Put in a claim to Welcome Finance direct for PPI as advised by FSCS who could only help with loans from Jan 2005 onwards.

In a nutshell Welcome have responded just within the 8 weeks and admitted liability but are refusing to pay out as they are in their words 'EXPECTED' to enter liquidation in the next 12 months however they cannot say when.

They have told me to get in touch with the FOS who have said there is nothing they can do likewise the FSCS.

Welcome also said in their letter that 'All claimants who have a liability with Welcome post 29th February 2016 and who are due cash redress are impacted. Customers with claims processed prior to this date will continue to be redressed until the Trust Fund agreed as part of the Welcome's financial restructuring in 2011 is exhausted.'

My claim went in 27th March this year but how can they get away with this when they say they only expect to go into liquidation.

Any thoughts on how I should proceed and do I have any chance of getting anything from them?

Thanks for your help.

There's nothing you can do - it sounds like the Welcome pot is almost empty.

As FOS have told you they are unable to help, it looks as though they have accepted that Welcome can't pay.

To be fair, the PPI issue has been going on for years and they were in default in 2011, so you've had plenty of time to make your complaint. Unfortunately for you, you've left it too late.

Thanks Jellie and you confirm what I thought might be the case. Just a bit disappointed that I didn't get in touch before, I tried a while back through a company who then pulled the plug saying they couldn't help and only came across an article in March which was when I went direct to them.


Never mind some you win some you lose.


Thanks for your reply.

My daughter received a letter, apparently from Welcome Finance that included an offer to almost double the PPI she has already received. However they are requesting her bank details which makes us very suspicious. So after reading you forum post I intend to contact the Financial Ombudsman tomorrow.

Not sure what forum post you refer to. However, any letter requesting Bank details should always be viewed with suspicion.

Not sure the Financial Ombudsman should be your port of call, though, more likely Action fraud:

They are one of the companies which have been carrying out a review of previously paid PPI cases, and they are paying out more where necessary.

Why not ring them up and ask if it's genuine? What address is she being asked to respond to?
