PPI problem with Barclay BT!Caution

I'm not sure if anyone's aware of this problem but it happened to me and hubby. Just a note of caution to everybody.
We did a SBT with our Barclay card and didn't realised that our Payment Protection Plan will be classified as 'standard charges" which carry a standard APR of 14.9%. As you maybe aware, any payment made, will be paid first against any balance with the lowest APR, and so on and so forth. Which means, we're both now stuck with a GBP 50 ppi balance, accumulating @ 14.9% APR, until we pay off our BT amount. We were originally planning to pay this amount off within 2-3 years.
Hubby is trying to get Barclay to refund and cancel the PPI. Will post the results in the next few days.

Out of goodwill, Barclay Card has agreed to reversed the PPI charges out of my husband's account and I've got my PPI charges converted to 2.9%. Department to speak to is customer loyalty which I have a feeling is also the 'card cancelletion' department. ::)0

You could cancel and look at getting protection elsewhere if you think it is essential to have it. PPI from credit card issuers is not the cheapest - its a bit like taking buildings insurance from your mortgage lender, convenient but not competitive.0
