Anyone Reclaimed Their PPI
Money Saving
the deadline for claiming is approaching so at least after the deadline all those adverts will stop. has anyone managed to get some money back
Yep, I think all told I've received back a couple of thousand.
Definitely worth doing if you think you've been mis-sold, just don't use any of these companies that say they will do it all for you, they will take a hefty percentage.
It's better to do it yourself rather than being ripped off by one of the many companies offering to do it for you. I'll be glad never to see another PPI advert after the 29th August this year.
I'm using a company at the moment . I had tried to do it myself and you can find templates to do it on the Martin Lewis website but some of the store cards/credit cards I'd had don't exist anymore and I wasn't getting anywhere trying to find out who to contact . Yeah they do take a percentage but I see it as money I've never had and might not get anyway without their help because of the above .
Obviously at my age I have been through a fair few hp, loans, mortgage, credit cards etc etc. So, I thought I would give it a go as they all say they will do the work for you and give you the chat about getting thousands back. One wanted 35% commission but I said no and got them down to 25% (make sure you haggle), but after giving them all my details, previous names and addresses, companies I had done business with etc they kept asking for paperwork which they initially said they did not need. Needless to say after 40 odd years I do not have any paperwork so gave it all up as a bad job.
