Trying to make PPI claims difficult?

I’ve recently used the Resolver tool, which I think is great, to submit a PPI claim in relation to what was originally a Citibank credit card and latterly Opus, provided by NewDay Ltd. I completed the resolver questionnaire in full and attached documentary evidence of my PPI. I’ve then come home today to a letter asking me to complete a paper copy of the PPI questionnaire - when I called to query (as all info asked provided by resolver questionnaire and in same format), I was told it was required because of a set procedure as given by the Financial Conduct Authority. I don’t see why I need to provide exact same info twice - seems to be an attempt to make a claim even more difficult. Can anyone advise please?

    If they want it in their version, they can ask for it.

    It shouldn't take you long - just copy it.

    You wouldn't have needed to fill the form out twice if you'd gone direct in the first place. There's no need to involve a third party.
  • Thank you - resolver is the MSE recommended online tool to submit claims and they do go directly to the company.
  • Thanks - but not quite the point. Doing what is recommended on MSE and then having to do it again is not what I would have expected.

    Your complaint goes via Resolver. Many companies prefer to deal direct.

    MSE says and recommends a number of things. Not all of them are always a good idea.

    MSE recommends doing it yourself too. Did you listen to that bit?

    Resolver is actually part-owned by MSE. Don't you think this might be why it is pushed so heavily on the site?

    Numerous instances on the forum of Resolver E-Mails going astray completely or recipients requesting duplicate information on their own forms etc.

    It's obviously your opinion of MSE recommendations that need revising.. :)

    Nothing to do with the fact that resolver sell the data they collect for profit.

    Resolver does have some issues with providers not getting all the data in a way they can read it.
