    You can only claim back tax paid on the interest (you don't pay tax on the PPI) and where the interest comes from is irrelevant. Just fill in the form and show your total interest for the year and tax paid see what they come back with.

    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.

    It isn't very clear from your post but if you have filed a Self Assessment return for the tax year you received the (PPI related) interest in then you cannot make a claim using the R40 form.

    You would (should) have declared the interest on your Self Assessment return and it would have been taken into account in your tax calculation for that tax year.

    If you didn't include it for some reason you cannot now use the R40. You would have to claim overpayment relief as it is now too late to amend your 2015:16 or 2016:17 Self Assessment return.

    Hi, I’ve had a Lloyd’s credit card for 18 years, I had known that I had PPI, many years ago I tried making a claim due to redundancy but because I had a small redundancy amount of £2500 I couldn’t make a claim straight away, I managed to get another job so didn’t proceed with the claim any further, I do remember I was paying a lot more for my ppi cover back then to what I’m paying now, should I try to make a claim on my ppi or try & make a claim with pelvin???

    Yes, you can make a claim if you've lost your job or other qualifying event.

    Plevin would only apply if you're to make a mis selling complaint and were rejected.

    Don't make a complaint if you plan on making a future claim though, as the policy will be cancelled.

    Thank you, can banks see how you originally applied for credit card, not sure whether I applied online or by telephone?

    They will have a tick box somewhere if they still have records that says how you applied. Though do remember, PPI was often sold after the card was delivered (usually when you called to activate it)

  • I had a mortgage through norwich union from about 1983 to 2007 which had an ‘insurance’ that protected their payment. I think it was with NU. I paid 30 years on this insurance. I remember I was locked into their insurance. When I phoned NU about a Missold mortgage years ago they said they were not responsible as I bought it through a broker.
    As my claim is 46 years old would I still be eligible? I have thrown away all paperwork. Would I be able to claim? Is there an inexpensive way to get help. And how would I go about it.

    Thanks Rosemary.

    No.

    Massively pre regulation, amongst other things.

    If it was a policy that protected them, it was MIG, it 100% categorically CANNOT be miss-sold as it's there to protect them against you defaulting - you could have borrowed less or got a bigger deposit, or paid the MIG - no MIG, no mortgage


    Even if you could have complained, pre-regulation and yes you complain to the seller not the provider.
