Default Paragon PPI

Hi - I had posted this on an existing thread and some very nice people suggested that I start a whole new thread just for me - so here goes!

I am new to this PPI lark and I have just started the process with Paragon. I borrowed £25,000 from them in September 2004 and was charged £4,200 PPI which was added to the loan. Interestingly the loan was in joint names of my then partner and I yet the insurance was only in my name(?). I settled the loan in July 2007 and in the final statement was charged all sorts of settlement fees etc but received a rebate of almost £300 PPI premium.

I have written an initial letter stating that the premium should not have been added to the loan and also informing them that I had not been asked about exisiting health matters to inform the insurers. I have received a letter from Paragon - very patronising stating that they are 'concerned that I feel I have been mis-sold premium protection insurance'. They then inform me that my application was submitted by Loanmakers Limited??? All my dealings were with paragon - I have no paperwork from Loanmakers.

Should I continue to pursue this with Paragon?

I would be grateful for any help from anyone on the forum... you all seem very experienced in this. Thanks in advance

If your Consumer Credit Agreement was signed by Paragon on Paragon paper then Paragon are the target. They will blame the broker and vice versa. As you say you have no CCA with loanmakers, this is just another way for Paragon to try and avoid a claim on mis-sold PPI.

Paragon may state that the application was submitted by loanmakers but an APPLICATION is not a Consumer Credit Agreement within the terms of the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

Bank charge successes:
Halifax - Full settlement incl interest.
HSBC - Settlement, goodwill no admission of liability about 75% of claim.

2 ongoing claims for bank charges with HSBC with more to come. (Supreme Court ruling could have upset these claims) They did
PPI Successes
PPI 4 settlements on 9 loans. FOS involvement on 7 added on the 8 % Statutory interest another 30% to both.
2 claims settled in full with LV without FOS involvement.
2 claims settled in full with HSBC without FOS involvement

PPI Claims ongoing with:
Cap one Now with the FOS
Barclays. They have now been given a deadline before FOS action. No response so complaints now with ICO and FOS.
LTSB still have to decide on this as their SAR production was abysmal. Papers data mixed up documents missing etc

1 Complaint not upheld by FOS they said it was ICO issue. Complaint upheld by ICO. See this..

Please do not PM me for advice as it may be sometime before I can respond.

Keep at them. Do not give way and do not accept all they tell you, they will delay and stall for as long as they can to prevent repaying you your mis-sold PPI.

I don't think I have received anything like what I asked for. I will scan and post the letter and paperwork received. I notice that I received a one page 'application' from Loanmakers. it is a simple form with no signatures - just my details in type. I also notice that I have no policy documents for my insurance. I may need a lot of advice from you guys as to what I should do next. Will be back later with all the info.

Thanks in advance

Blimey do you know what 180 payments of £355.35 comes to ? well i will tell you £63,963.00.

Oh and paragraph (B) that is all a load of bull because that commission you are paying so it is your data.

Paragraph (A) is also bull.

As it stands they have not complied with your request time to complain to the Information Commissioner`s Office and send another letter to Paragon.

PF - thank you so much. I assumed it was a load of BS but I needed someone to confirm. So my next stage is to write to Paragon stating that they have not complied with my request and inform them that I shall be writing to the Information Commissioner`s Office to inform them of same? Should I allow them time to rectify the situation or go straight to Information Commissioner`s Office?

Again - thank you for taking the time to look at this!

Go straight to Information Commissioner`s Office they know the law and they have broken it.

As i have pointed out you are not only going for the PPI but also the commission they paid to the insurance provider.

Why should you pay commission that they should pay

Good Luck

I've subbed this thread so i can monitor it ok.

Regards
