i had a loan with Northern Rock which i settled last week after half-way thru a 4 year loan.i emailed Pinnacle (who does the PPI for NR) for a partial refund of what i payed and i got this email back today..


Dear Mr Taylor,

Thank you for your recent e-mail.I confirm that in return for you paying
the premium, we will provide Life, Disability and Unemployment cover. This
does not work like a savings plan. However, If you do have any further
queries, please contact Northern Rock Ventura on 0870 600 0506.


Yours sincerely,


Tina Shetty

Cardif Pinnacle.

    Are you sure that is spelt Tina Shetty? Seriously, I think you'll have a problem with this. PPI is provided for the term of the loan. If you shorten the term voluntarily you do not get a rebate on the premium, AFAIK, but do check the T & C's.
    I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.
