    Well good afternoon my dear friends at MSE//// Just a quick update on my Lombard direct loan.
    Today i had a letter saying i have been given a sum of money for being miss sold PPI on a loan going back to 2012/2014. The first think is that its been hard work lots of phone calls and emails but the problem doesnt stop there,. I was informed that RBS have no hold over Lombard Loans , here we go again . The second time i explained that if you look up on this web page it states all loans and responsibility are with Natwest/RBS are part of the same group.
    To cut a long story short a loverly letter saying you have £182.84 plus 189.92 take away 37.98 income tax the total is £334.78 this is great the next letter says.
    we have found a loan you had for £4300.00 and was miss sol;d PPI again and we are giving you.
    £347.97 plus 426.60 take away 85.32 and a grant total of.....£689.25.
    My question is should i take the first offer or refuse.....i wait for the answers................

    Redress is defined. There is no 'first' offer, it's the only offer.

    PPI for loans had long since ceased being offered by Banks six and four years ago?

    Sounds like a Plevin refund of undisclosed commission rather than a full refund, but again your dates are far too recent.

    As above, refunds and redress are not negotiable so this is not a "first" offer.

    I'm guessing the loan was one that started long before the PPI scandal and ended in 2012/14. Lombard Direct weren't above doing long chain/consolidation loans, there's an example on MSE of someone who started in July 1997 with a 4 loan chain ending in Feb 2008! I saw another post from a Lombard loan with PPI taken out in 2004

    Sam 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.
