Thank you. The bit that is worrying me is not the 3 year rule it is the calculations. The policies were sold by the banks not the broker.
You have to have a complaint upheld before you need to worry about the refund. Banks will refund your premiums + associated interest based on the records they hold and any you hold.
The banks selling the policies means they have to consider pre-2005 cases but as ever, complain and see if they reject it for time reasons or not, then worry about calculations
Edit - also, £10k on premiums, even with associated interest of 8% simple a year, you'd be pushing a bit to get a 6 figure sumSam 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.

Thanks. Had seen a post on this site for £7500 paid in PPI and the payout was £105k.0

Seems a bit unlikely purely from the interest element being so low - 8% interest on £10,000 is only £800 a year so to get £90,000 in interest you'd need over 100 years!
The biggest PPI payment on the website was £128,774 and that was an accumulation including £43303 for 2 cards from the 1990sSam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:

Thank you. I think the numbers being given to us may be wrong. We had a lot of PPI! One card is from the 1980s and it was paid by dd for 22 years.0

If your complaint succeeds for the 1987 card any redress would include interest calculated at 15% from 1987 to 31/3/93 and 8% thereafter, so it could reach six figures over 22 years.0

We have a Paradox on credit card PPI compensation. Refund should be amount of premiums paid plus 8% interest (from 1987) plus associated interest. What do you consider as associated interest ? Note compensation should put you back in a position as if no PPI had been charged ! Therefore as premiums
are compounded every month why are these not correctly calculated ?
Interesting to find out comments/opinions especially as i know one large credit card company is trying
to avoid going into Court to justify its credit card compensation calculations.0 -
Oh thank you. My husband thinks its a con and I am going mad. We have been quoted £100k+. Blinking heck.0

Who exactly do you think is going to con you? If you want to make a complaint about mis-sold PPI, just either write to the company that sold it to you, or preferably, to save time, fill in the form that most institutions make available on their web sites for this purpose.Oh thank you.

The worst you're going to lose is a bit of your time writing and digging out paperwork and the price of some sheets of paper, an envelope and a stamp.
DO NOT use a claims management company, they provide the stamp, but take at least a third of your redress. That would be a con. Just make the complaint yourself.0 -
