NatWest has this week admitted in writing that it forged a
customer's signature on the terms and conditions on a loan. One of
the extra terms and conditions related to PPI, or "repayment
protection" as NatWest called it.
Mr Morley told the Guardian, "I said... I haven't agreed to
those terms and conditions. I didn't sign for that loan. They kept
coming back saying the loan is still outstanding, and we would like
you to call us to discuss ways of settling it". NatWest has offered
Mr Morley £612 to cover charges and as a goodwill gesture yet they
are still pursuing Mr Morley for a five figure sum.
According to the Guardian, Natwest has stated that, "It is
regrettable this has occurred and my sincere apologies to Mr Morley
for any upset this has caused... however, the bank still holds the
opinion that he has benefited from the loan funds received." Mr
Morley is taking the matter to his county court and is seeking to
have the entire loan written off.
If you have taken out a loan in the last ten years it is worth
checking to
see if you have PPI. Many customers have been mis-sold
PPI without their knowledge. If you think that this could be
the case then you should make contact today and find out if you are
eligible for substantial compensation.
With evidence now appearing that banks have gone as far as to
cloak PPI with names customers will not recognise and even tell
customers that the insurance was a necessary requirement, it is
well worth checking that PPI is not something that you are paying
for unnecessarily or without your knowledge. If it is, you should
be able to claim a
substantial amount of compensation.
