apparently if we had taken ppi on a loan credit card etc we didnt need to as we are covered by our own sick pay scheme!
seems a pretty low trick to me ( but then again im a born cynic) and i would urge anyone who has taken out ppi with a bank? building society to do the work yourselves

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Do you mean that ppi would not be worth anything to RM employees as we receive 6 months full pay then 6 months 1/2 pay, any ppi you may have had would have been worthless as you would be in receipt of money while off sick and still receive money for a full year therefore ppi would not pay out and in real terms was mis-sold......Claim it back!! :hmmmm

Mother in law got a letter from her bank,she went in to see them and as she had got a loan out with the PPI thing she's due nearly £3k back!

With regards to the original link in the thread,was one of those dodgy firms that are best to be avoided.

I dont think this is the case. PPi was sold whether it was genuine sold or missold to cover a specific debt over a specific term. The sickness benefits provided by Royal Mail provide an income to meet general living costs. These only pay out for a maximum period of 1 year and decrease to 50% after six months. It could be that a PPI policy is covering a loan/credit card debt/mortgage over a much longer period, and in some cases also cover the loan in the event of death as well. I am not standing up for PPI policies as I think they are expensive and there were cheaper alternatives, but a company sickness benefits should not be considered as being sufficient or an alternative way of protecting a debt.

Do it yourself... The companies will only claim as much as you will and take a percentage out of it.

All you have to do is to contact the company that gave you the loan with the PPI and they SHOULD reimburse you if you qualify. See Moneysavingexpert website for a guide http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/reclai ... -insurance" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
