Do it yourself. Just use the template letter on MSE site

Yes dont let a specialist company do it on your behalf they will rip you off. Its so easy to do as per Factor's suggestion. I did it last year simple, quick.

I would rather I could find a good company. Can you help with reputble companies. I have a lot of family issues and have no time I would be really grateful for any support offered.

There was someone on TV recently who used one of these companies. They successfully claimed back around £2000 for him then charged him £11000 so he ended up with nothing plus a debt of £9000 they were chasing him for.
It was because they took 30% of his award and claimed 30% of the premiums he no longer had to pay for the next 10 years.
Even if a company does it for you they still need you to provide all the paperwork , dates, amounts etc then they just copy the info into a standard letter and charge you a huge bill.
I know some prefer to let someone do it but I think if you use the MSE site template letter it will be simple

Is purple the 'in' colour at the moment, purpleprimrose and Purple_Popple?

purple, there are many and I don't think we're allowed to refer on this site, but I use a company to reclaim our PPI - they do take up to 25% of your recovery, but that suits us (as has been said before, not everyone has time or inclination to do their own chasing etc.) I've been pleased with the company we were referred to through work (NHS).

Have you been in touch with the people you paid PPI to and asked them when they will be paying you back?

"In April 2011 the high court ordered high street banks to pay back billions of pounds to millions of consumers after mis-selling them Payment Protection Insurance or PPI." taken from

Although I have taken out many loans I only took out PPI once because I needed the money and was told I had to take it if I wanted the loan. However, earlier this year the company who sold me the PPI wrote to me asking if I considered I'd been mis-sold the PPI, I replied yes and they sent me a full refund of c.£1960 plus interest taking it up to c. £2400.
I had taken the loan out with Northern Rock.

So ask for your money back yourself before involving any outside company.
