    aorry too butt in but what does all that mean you get something back but you pay interest ?
    Some policies like those at Barlcays Firstplus say that after 5 years if you do not claim on it you get it all back but they forget to tell you in the beginning that the PPI is actually another loan and that interest is charged on the full term of the loan and not just spread over the 5 years.

    seems a familiar story for a lot of us. I will send the letter and keep you posted.

    just one thing am i right in thinking in single premium front load policies that the reclaim is for the interest that i am invariably going to pay over the full term of the loan despite the fact i did get the rebate. In other words am i right in thinkingt that it is not just limited to 5 years

    many thanks to both of you

    With pleasure and sorry I missed half of these postings, I was stuffing my face......:o lol:D , but I do know you have a strong case here and that money will be back in your pocket where it should be.;)

    We will fight this but if for some reason they do not give you a favourable response on this let us know then its time to go to step 2, but not to worry we will eventually get there, and will keep at it until that money is all yours again.:D

    A single premium policy is one where its really a loan to pay for the PPI. Its just another loan and the interest is then spread out over the full term (yours being 300 months) of the loan. Its just a rip off.

    ALso front loaded means that in the beginning of your loan you are not paying anything (or very little) off the capital of the original loan, only the PPI.

    There must be a stronger term than 'rip off' to describe it!! I found out about a year into the policy and they offered a minimal amount rebate. If it is another loan over 25 years at the apr then that must be nearly £36K worth of interest paid. Can that be right?? I don't know whether to laugh or cry! as i say rip off doesn't seem a strong enough description!

    I am the investigator - i will agree with that as i have to find out anything i can about these companies that rip people off and I will not settle until i have. Ask Di on that one, it does my head in to think of them sitting pretty leaving us to rot in hell. They will pay....

    I don't know if your figures are correct here but yes, they are robbers and theives and scumbags as they knew what they were doing most of these companies and now its payback.:mad:
