Hi just reading this with interest....

Im just claiming back my ge money charges and im amazed at the amount per month ive been charged per month in ppi ive been charged,and i cannot remember signing up for it either as a work for an agency.

Ive got my statements back today with 10 months missing and after been on the phone an hour they,ve said they might be missing from there system.(which i,ll have to tackle when they confirm this)

anyway my question is do i claim for my charges first then my mis sold ppi or doesnt it matter???

I got my Information from them Today, Witha fair bit of it missing, Must have been something to do with the above letter that was also faxed to the Customer Services Manager..

I would go ahead and Start on the Mis-sold PPI too Delly, Though I have found this lot to be dead slow and aregant in their responses so far..

They have till the 28th of Novemebr to fully respond to my complaint relating to mis-sold PPI..then if nothing possitive Its off to Court with these shower..lol

Good luck with your fight too..I will watch with Interest too...

They seem to be a right shower of Plonkers to say the least..I was dealing with one who just kept repeating himself in letters and not getting to the main part of my complaint..

Well my Complaint is now with their Customer Services Manager..who has until the 28th to respond fully ..

I also have a complaint in with the FSA , the FISA and i did also complain to the FOS..the FOS say sorry can't help as GE Money Home Lending did not come under their Jurisdiction till after 31st October 2004.. so some help they were..lol.

Mind you at least the FOS have responded, more than the FSA or FISA have as yet.

I have found GE to be very hard work..well more frustrating than anything, I think they hope you will just give up and go away..I have felt like that at times but glad to say ..Im going to fight to the bitter end..lol

Finally a response from the Information Commissioners Office..

Complaint being taking seriously and passed to Casework team for investigation..

Alocated Case ref number and should now hear any outcome within 25 days or so.

Im hanging fire with court papers until all the info recieved, the more breaches that this lot make will only make then even more unprofessional, if that is possible..lol
