Nightmare - going on holiday tomorrow!!

Hi there,

I've just spent the last three hours putting in claims for ten credit cards we have had in the past. I have no idea whether we had PPI but have put in claims rather than just ask - really hoping this isn't the wrong thing to do!!!

I am now away for three weeks. Do I need to do anything if they don't reply before the deadline or are we safe once we have submitted the initial claim.

Funny - told myself I would do it weeks ago and here I am doing this instead of packing!!!!!

Thanks so much for your wisdom : ))

    The deadline is for complaining and not for your lender(s) to reply.

    If they want anything from you it’s unlikely to be so soon, so I’m sure you’ll be fine whilst your away. There will be a backlog of complaints which will be worked on in date order

  • Thanks so much! I wasn't sure if the first contact with them counted if they didn't get back to me. Appreciate your help!
