Right,you could request a sar from them (subject access request) and then you will get all the information that they hold about you and also any telephone conversations they have too all for £10. This may give you some indication as to whether you opted for it or whether it was put on by them. If it was put on by them then if you take a look at martins guide down the right hand corner you have to decide whether to go for the misselling. You really shoud be able to tell if you could of used it.
Was it a front loaded policy and paid up front, if so were you made aware of this? Was it for the full term of the loan? Were any medical conditions asked about prior to this? These are all things that you could read about then request your SAR and find out how you bought it.Some of these policies are ok and needed but if you were say "self employed" there are clauses whereby you have to have been self employed and paying ni (class 2). Take a look and get back with any questions.
oops, sorry di, you beat me to it.

oops, sorry di, you beat me to it. (still not done my tats)
Thanks a lot. No I do know it wasn't paid up front, and it was for the full term of the loan. Can't remember about any medical conditions but neither me nor my husband have any so that's not applicable in my case. Neither are we self-employed. Will they really have telephone conversations going back 6 years ago!? If I was missold I think it will have been a case of being told we wouldn't get the loan unless we took it out. We had a very poor credit rating at that time and I know in that instance we would have agreed to the insurance.
That is so helpful. Thanks a million, Marshallka!0 -
Kareno an SAR letter above hun, use that one that's the one Laini added to the site posted by Marshallka.;)
By using this you will and should be provided with all requesting on the letter.
When you recieve this SAR we will see what is what from there hun then get the ball rolling.;)
All the best.

Thanks a million, Di. No, I haven't requested a SAR, never heard tell of it and haven't a clue what it means! Is it copies of the forms I filled in? All I have to do with the loan is the credit agreements.0

Yeah, I was thinking that myself! Would it be worth just sending off one of Martin's template letters without sending for the SAR?
I'm sorry for my stupidity over all this. It all just seems so complicated to me.0 -

Hi hunni, you are not stupid hun.......;) , we all live and learn, been there and done it, so no worries hun, your in the right place for help and guidance and made a start by doing this, so well done to you.;)
I would send off one of Martin's templates hun, and I know you are limited, but if you've hardly information I believe an SAR would be useful too, you will have this then to back you with your complaints, I found some very useful information in some of my SAR's that have helped win past claims. So hopefully, if you get the SAR done today, send off by recorded post as soon as, today if you have time, add the £10 cheque payment, check out who to send the payment too, like if they have a separate compliance dept, and hopefully this should be with you before the 40 days deadline.
Its entirely up to you but the more info the better hunni.
Sorry for missing this but how long ago was it again when you had this product hun ?

if you're trying to reclaim going back to 1996 the courts will not support this as it's way outside the 6 year statute of limitations, however, you could try from when GE took over as you can prove cancellation and re-instatement - when did that take place?
I wish all the Bespoke/Freedom customers would use this against them.
I know this is really off topic but could this section 32 be used against a claim for Tax credits for 2001/02 as the deadline was January, 2008 for claims of the £520 due to people and we did not claim it. We did not know anything about it so could we use this against a claim for this amount now.0
