Extra PPI Claim & IVA

Hi,

I have a 2 part question about PPI claims. A few years back (about 5 years or so) I claimed back my PPI through a financial services company. Recently, however, I've started receiving (annoying!) phone calls from people saying I might be able to claim back more. My questions are:
1. Whether or not this is true that I can reclaim more?
2. Can I do this myself so I don't have to fork out the commission I paid last time to the financial services company as I didn't realise I could try to make a claim on my own?
3. Can I still claim even though I am half way through an IVA?

Sorry if my questions are a bit daft but any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Antonia

    You need to ignore these cold calls, your financial details are not in the public domain and, from what you say, there is no extra money you might be able to "claim".

    You can complain yes, but it's likely the redress will go towards your debts.

    Read the OP, he has already complained and been successful. He is now being hounded by a Company claiming that they can get him more. Current IVA is incidental.
