What should I do??

I have received today a letter from FOS to advise me MBNA will now offer to pay me back 50% of the commission from my PPI after MBNA had rejected my claim. I don't know what that amounts to and FOS say it's a fair offer. Should I accept or reject?
I have found I was being charged £75 a month PPI so don't know if anyone has an idea of what I can't expect

    If you reject the offer, you'll get nothing at all...

    The PPI you paid each month is irrelevant if this is about Plevin commission

    It's not negotiable . .
  • The letter from FOS says if I don't wish to accept to let them know by 19th October

    No one here has said you cannot refuse your refund.

    Strange question. Nothing or something. Something is better than nothing.

    Your complaint failed and the FOS adjudicator did not overrule the complaint. Your choices are
    1 - accept
    2 - reject and get the same outcome from an ombudsman (ombudsman only overrule in around 1 in 10 cases and they are nearly all on the more complicated issues. Not the easy stuff like PPI). If you reject that, you get nothing.
