    The first thing would be whether it was bought from Lloyds or via a third party like a broker - that would affect whether they are liable or not.

    If it was done as a single premium (paid upfront, included in the loan) you'd expect either a refund of the lot or so called comparative redress where they compensate on the difference between SP and a monthly charge - however, I don't think banks often did that sort of thing, it was usually set up as a monthly direct debit.

    Why do you feel it was miss-sold?

    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.

    What an odd question! Surely you are the only one who knows how it was mis-sold?

    Unless, of course, you want advice on what to claim for even if it's not what actually happened?

    As the OP has already started his complaint, and given extra details in the telephone call, it seems far more likely that the OP is wondering in what circumstances the Bank might deem the PPI mis-sold and not pay full redress.

    Banks often uphold complaints for entirely different reasons than the complainant provides.

    But it's difficult for anyone here to surmise what the Bank operator was alluding to without far more information being provided by the OP.

    Sounds like the op has complained about the ppi, and the bank have phoned him to ask what his actual complaint is?

    Perhaps the title should be:
    Payout dependant on IF the [STRIKE]Way[/STRIKE] ppi was mis sold?

    Lloyds do routinely call complainants to obtain "further information" so it's perfectly possible, therefore, that the OP's complaint was thoroughly bonafide.

    It's also possible that the OP just "applied" for a refund without giving a proper mis-selling reason.

    Until the OP comes back to elaborate, though, it is futile to speculate.

    Is what I was thinking.

    If it was direct with Lloyds it's not pre-regulation

    Banks were already regulated prior to 2005; I think you may have forgotten this over your years here, McKneff.
