While waiting for our completion cert to arrive ( 18 months) since our last payment.we have had endless calls re claiming PPI. We have told every one that we were not misold and did not want to persue any claims. However someone has claimed on our behalf as we have had a letter from Barclays Bank to say our claim was unsuccessful and they did not owe us any money. Surely this is not right and how dare someone claim without our permission. It appears that even if you refuse they go ahead and do it anyway.
Do you know who actually made the claim Geordie? Technically, as beneficiary to the trust, your IP can make the claim directly to the creditors, but this would be unusual without your authoritu or knowledge.
I think that this happened to me also but why send forms out for you to sign if they are doing it anyway? Either this is right or wrong! Somebody somewhere shud say IP's to claim on behalf of every debtor or not legal to do so without a signature!!
I think this highlights many issues regarding reclaiming PPI. It is not supposed to be a 'free for all' but rather a genuine refund of monies paid wrongly to financial institutions.
As you are supposed to give quite detailed information about how, where and when the insurance was sold and most importantly, why it would be considered missold I am at a loss at how IVA companies can proceed in reclaiming without the customers knowledge and participation.
I would certainly be interested to see how this is being done as well. It is one thing saying that the IP can make the claim, but I don't see how they can provide the evidence of mis-selling without the co-operation of their clients.
I would be grateful if you would email my Customer Services team at ivacustomerservices@uk.gt.com quoting "IVA Forum" in the subject line and I will look into this matter for you and provide some clarity.
PPI
I have had 3 emails saying 3 different things 1 I can have the money after I get the certificate as a private case 2 Now I cant do that 3 Its up to the IVA company
Awhile ago I asked how things were going and told we will send you another questionairre I have already sent that when I set out to claim
I am finished with the IVA and now told another 6 months
Nobody actually knows what they are doing thats why !!!
I have had 5 and a half years of looking for the post checking my phone living on the edge to get to this point and now another 6 months so I cant relax or put it behind me and I have done what I said and completed
Yeah Ok I can keep my money every month but its going to take at least 2 years incl this wait to get back to where I Was 8 years ago
You complete you get the certificate no excuses no faffing about
they have had 5 years and also knew this PPI 2 years ago was coming about
In my IVA if I so much as sneezed I have to ask for permission and jump through every hoop they want Now its completed I want my piece of paper
What they do with the money I have paid is nothing to do with me or however liong they want to take thats their business not mine
I have done as told now I want my paper now now now no fobbing off no get in touch after Xmas no see you in the New Year now !!!
What do they mean by a "private case" Donkeyass? Are they saying that if you make the claim to them directly, they will assist you without disclosing any success to your IP? Or that you wait until your IVAhas concluded and then make the claim and keep the money - regardless of whether this was an asset in the IVA?
Are you really back to where you were 8 years ago? Do you have any debts now? And how much debt did you manage to get written off by your creditors?
