Reclaiming PPI

I’ve already claimed back a 5-figure sum on our mortgage alone. Then I heard Martin Lewis mention claiming back for dead relatives. I hadn’t realised this was possible, but I’ve just successfully had another 5-figure claim approved on my late brother’s estate despite the fact that he died intestate.

I wonder how many are missing out? The banks are certainly reluctant to give back but I can’t help but think many people are entitled to a considerable pay-out and don’t realise it. Better in your bank account than the banks hanging on to it!

Incidentally I didn’t go through any of those firm that keep advertising. You have until August 2019.

Just had a thought two of my kids live overseas they didn’t have mortgages here but they would have had bank accounts I wonder if they should check and do you think you can from overseas

I got about £1000 for my wee auntie for a mis-sold current account. She was paying £10 a month for an account which let her get cheaper loans ( she was loaded!), roadside breakdown cover ( she was 80 when the account was opened) free travel insurance ( she never travelled) and cheap concert tickets ( I believe Vera Lynn has given up touring!)

I'm convinced we never had PPI and have told every cold caller that for years .I've been stalked by one firm for months so I told them I didn't have it but they are welcome to check .Its not costing me anything .Unfortunately their no fuss check is no such thing and I'm being bombarded by e-mails and phone calls and letters .I just want to call a halt but the guy tells me now I've signed the paperwork I have to go ahead with it.
Hell mend them when I'm proven right and theres no fee at the end of it !
