Received an offer of compensation for mis-sold PPI from Clydesbank

I have received a letter from Clydesdale bank regarding a complaint I made (using the forms you make available) regarding ppi mis-selling on a credit card. They have offered a refund the PPI premiums paid, plus 8% interest.

I am not sure if the amount what they calculated as "know ppi premium paid" is correct so maybe all the others calculation also be wrong. Can I ask them for a double check and confirmation before signing the acceptance form? how? any template form available for this? (my english is not really fluent and I need traslator helps etc... for all this issues..)

Many thanks :)

    Why do you think it's wrong?
    They calculate the premiums paid and repay this + interest (8% - 20% tax).

    Any PPI you paid is itemised on your monthly statements, contact them if you have evidence proving you paid more than they are offering.

    Which is the correct method they should be using.

    It is difficult to get refund of premiums plus interest wrong in terms of a calculation. It is possible to get the amount paid as premium wrong as records may not go back the full term of the policy. However, where that is the case, there is a different calculation method and they would describe that in the response.

    Do you have any evidence which suggests the figure is wrong?

    Only if you have compelling evidence that it is wrong. You cannot request a "double check" simply because you suspect they are wrong. Any such request would be met with a simple reiteration of their original calculations.

    A refund of the premiums paid plus 8% simple interest is the correct redress as defined by the regulator.
  • Thanks for your quick responses . Obviously I do not keep all bank letter from 10 years ago and I don't know the exact amount that was charged by ppi,
    I suspect the amount the bank charged because it seems very low. as I am unable to prove it I will accept offer.
    thanks a lot for your advice.

    Why "obviously"? Many people keep an archive of all their statements and finance.

    Since credit card PPI is only payable while your account has an outstanding balance and is a % of the balance amount, its reasonable to assume that you frequently paid off your Credit Card bill or left only a small balance.

    I can't see you have any other alternative.
    Enjoy your redress :)

    What about the refund of 'associated interest' at the credit card rate ?

    I'm sure there will be a lot of associated interest at the rate of 70p per £100 of debt lol

    Sam 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.
