Your Questions About Compensation Claim Uk

UK: Ive had a cal from a claims agency regarding personal protection insurance what should I do ?

Ive had a phone call from a claims agency saying I could claim compensation regarding mis – sold PPI.
I took a loan out in 2002 from a high street bank whom told me I couldn’t have the loan without the PPI – another £25 a month on top of the loan payments + interest.

I was considering making a claim myself thou as it was so long ago Im not that bothered, the claims agency will take a 39% of any compensation recovered.

So is it worth me signing these documents and make a claim ? how successfull would I be ?

Personally I think with a £39% fee from the agency its probably not worth the hassle.
They say it could take from 1 week to 18 months – if successfull the money would def come in handy.

Any advice be much appreciated. Thanks
The loan finished a few yrs ago all paid and no missed payments.

Lizzie asks…

Could I be prosecuted in the UK for driving without insurance abroad?

Last year I was hit by a speeding driver in Italy whilst driving my husbands car. The driver of the other vehicle immediately ran off even though myself, my husband & our 1yr old daughter were injured. At the time of the accident we had been in Italy for about 5 months & although I had all the relevant documents to drive within the UK, my insurance only covered me for 30 days abroad. We returned home shortly after so I could receive further treatment and I ignored requests from the Italian police to forward on my insurance details as I now knew we were not covered. Today I have received a letter from the Motor Insurers Bureau saying they have been contacted regarding the matter & could I please get in touch (via a solicitor if required) with my insurance details. I am now really worried that as well as being badly scared & not able to make a claim for compensation, I could also be prosecuted in the UK (or my husband as it was his vehicle). Does anyone know where I stand?

admin answers:

Short answer, yes.

You have committed a driving offence within the European Union. All driving offences committed within the E.U. Are referred to your home country and legal action can be taken.

Mary asks…

How should I have answered this question; a bloke down my pub asked why should UK troops fight in Afghanistan?

and Iraq, when Afghanis, Iraqis, Somalians, Bangladeshis, Pakistanis, are claiming asylum in England, threatening lorry drivers at Calais and getting them fined, gaining housing ahead of local people, getting compensation money in fights against deportation, being favoured by politically correct New Labour councils, and then returning to Afghanistan and Iraq to fight against the British army.
I never knew how to answer, what should I have said?

admin answers:

Because the United Kingdom is a signatory of the NATO accords, and under Article 5 of those accords, if a member nation is attacked, it is considered an attack on all NATO member states. Since the Afghan government (Taliban) supported the Al Qaeda initiated attacks on the US on 9/11/01, NATO’s combined forces attacked Afghanistan.

The UK was merely fulfilling its obligations to NATO. The US is grateful for the UK’s support.
