Re: Hamilton/HFC/Endeavour - Reclaim PPI
My letter received today.
Dear Mr & Mrs
I write further to the Financial Ombudsman Questionnaire received on the 14 September 2011.
I note your complaint is in regard to the Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) being Mis-sold on the above reference account. I can cinfirm that we previously issued you with a response on 3 June 2008 declining your complaint as we believed at the time the loan was sold via a Broker in the name of Click Finance Limited and therefore EPF Limited was not liable for the sale of the insurance.
However, it has now come to light after an investigation by Central Complaints Department with regard to your complaint reference XXX/XXXXXXXX that EPF Limited sold the PPI policy. Please accept my sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused as this certainly was not our intention.
I have now completed my investigation into the issues raised and have made a decision to uphold the complaint.
As a result of my decision, it is not my intention to respond specifically to the individual issues that have been raised other than to explain how I intend resolving the matter.
I propose to offer an amount in full and final settlement of tha above complaint against EPF Limited. The figure will effectively return the payment protection premiums that have been paid to date including interest. Details of the offer are shown on the Acceptance of the Offer Form enclosed.
The offer includes an element of 8% statutory interest. Subject to an individual's personal tax status, this statutory interest may be taxable and if accepted should be included in an annual tax return. Andy queries regarding this, should be referred to the local HM Revenue and Customs Office (formerly known as the Inland Revenue).
Should you wish to accept this offer, please arrange for the Acceptance of Offer Form to be completed and returned to EPF Limited. Please note the offer will only be processed upon receipt of the signed acceptance form and the offer will remain open for six weeks from the date of this letter, after which time it will be withdrawn, unless it has previously been accepted.
This brings to an end the steps available to you through our internal complaints procedures, as this letter constitutes our final response.
Please note EPF accounts did not fall under the jurisdiction of the Financial Ombudsman Service prior to January 2005. As your complaint relates to an issue that happened before this date, we believe the Financial Ombudsman service will not be able to adjudicate on this matter.
Yours sincerely
Complaints Investigator.
Premims paid from 30/08/2004 to 30/10/2005 - £1,771.54
Plus Interest at 8% - £847.56
