Can you help me please. I joined a Mortgage network in 2005 as a Mortgage Advisor and left in 2008/9 after the credit crunch hit.

I've been bombarded with calls from companies offering to reclaim PPI for me but i heard you can do it yourself without using a company. How easy is it to reclaim yourself? And how far back can you go?

I have various cards, a couple of loans (now paid off), etc. Some closed ages ago and...

Starting to chase Littlewoods for PPI on the wife's store card account. Phoned 08448 111 220 and discussed the account with them. They advised that the wife would had to have agreed to the "optional" insurance, it wouldnt have been something they would just put on the account. They also advised...

Hi everyone,

I currently have 2 defaulted accounts, one of them with Lloyds which was a credit card, & defaulted in Oct 2010. I am paying £100 a month off a balance of just over £8k & the interest is frozen at 0% (as it currently stands, I’ll be paying it off until Sept 2019!)...

I have not yet put anything on FB,...

Wifey here but remembering to log in as hubby to avoid confusion!

Hubby, it appears, did have PPI on his NatWest card. There is a debt outstanding of £2500 or so and it's UE and he hasn't made a payment for several months. PPI would probably amount a few hundred pounds.

Hi NID ;Hi1
