  • Ppi reclaiming question

    Hello everyone

    I am new here and thanks to your advice I have recently have successfully reclaimed against mbna and Halifax but at the moment I have been rejected by barclycard and citi card. Both cards where taken out in 2003, barclycard are saying it was a postal application so I ticked the box so it was a non advised sell and citi card are saying saying even though there are flaws in there selling techniques the policy was suitable so they are not paying out. My argument is that they never made ppi optional to me or explained any costs. I took out a mortgage on a flat back in 2002 where my broker clearly explained ppi and I refused so why would I refuse ppi on my flat but want ppi on small credit cards. My question is that at time of sale of ppi on those cards during 2003 I had about 20 thousand in equity on the flat, can I use this reason of how I would pay if I had lost work/are fallen ill? I really didn't need ppi as they where easily cleared by drawing money against the property if I needed too.

    I can see their argument about a postal application and find it difficult to see how you can argue that it wasn't made optional if you "opted in" by ticking the box.

    Similarly, arguing that you had equity in your flat is difficult, in my view given that it is an illiquid asset and, had you become sick or unemployed you would still have needed somewhere to live and probably have been unable to realise that asset.

      Thanks for responding very quickly, I do see there argument as well, I am not sure on the postal application so I will have to sar them just to see this tick. Citi card are not giving me any reason apart from the policy was suitable so the sale was correct but I am arguing that they never gave me a choice, I suppose again I will sar to find out how it was added then off to fos with this claim if it shows anything not right.

        Yes, I think you are right on both counts. You need to see the application form for the Barclaycard.

        The Citi reason seems flaky to me, but what do I know!
