Minitoots Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 We're finally getting round to checking PPI - has anyone used a firm they were happy with, or has anyone done it themselves?? Any tips gratefully received, thanks.

JohnL Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Claimed ages ago but paid a commission of 20% odd (so if you can do it yourself and there are guides you save).I got a few thousand back.

IlonaM Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Money Saving Expert has a lot of advice on how to do it yourself for free:https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/reclaim/ppi-loan-insurance/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/215577-ppi-has-anyone-done-it-themselves-or-has-recommendation/#findComment-1308600 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmah Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Definitely do it yourself, I honestly thought it would be difficult or that I would get into some sort of trouble but it was no more painful than printing the letter in Martin Lewis' website that Ilona linked to above and sending it off. This is something you really shouldn't pay someone to do for you.

heartblock Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Did it myself. Most banks, mortgage lenders have a form you fill in and send with any supporting evidence (original agreement or old correspondence), and a covering letter. Cost me a first class stamp. I have no financial or legal background, but it seemed straightforward. I got 10k back.

Jules-and-Boo Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I did it through MSE (link above) and got thousands with no commission - really really easy Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/215577-ppi-has-anyone-done-it-themselves-or-has-recommendation/#findComment-1308808 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minitoots Posted January 18, 2019 Author Share Posted January 18, 2019 thanks - that all sounds great!I'll check out the Money saving expert info. Do you also know if there is any way of tracking down old accounts from years and years ago that we we may have forgotten about?

annabel42 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Revolver website, endorsed by Martin Lewis, sets out the procedure in detail and is also a vehicle for claiming. The whole process can be done through their website and is absolutely free.
