Are You Looking Forward To 29/08/2019?

Recommended Posts

Personally, I’m so excited. I get giddy just thinking about it, but I think a lot of people just don’t realise how much better things will be after 29th August.

 

If the current adverts are to be believed, then after that date there’ll be no more cold calling or adverts about claiming back ppi. What’s not to like?

No idea what you're on about, but I assume this is some government initiative to stop these things.

 

Sadly, although it may stop TV/radio adverts, it will have zero effect on the telephone pests - many of these originate outside the UK, and our authorities have zero control over them. The fact they often show as UK numbers is irrelevant - they are spoofed.

Ever So sorry to rain on your parade:

But I've recently had a Call: - Did you work in Heavy Engineering ? 

Possibly you may have HEARING LOSS....You could Claim... I said sorry I can't hear you!...

Then they rang back Weeks later, in conversation I found out you can only Claim if you worked at a Firm for over 3 Years...sadly I didn't ... So I can't claim!

 

I no longer get their calls....

It's the final day that people can claim PPI. No claims are to be accepted after the 29th August

Cheers, @Groose. I was well aware of that - missed the bit in the OP about PPI, but sadly they'll just find something else.

I’ve put in a claim for PPI but don’t think I will get it. But you have to try don’t you ?

PPI?  Shouldn't this thread be merged with  the " Urination in Public " one?  :D

Aren't we due to be hit by a massive asteroid on 09/09/2019?

 

And we've booked our holidays for the end of Sept.  Feel an insurance claim will be going in.

I put a claim in for industrial deafness 6 months ago, but I've heard nothing yet.

You are going to have to be patient.

 

In a former life I used to deal with such claims and some of them will rumble on for 3+ years with still no guarantee of the payout.

 

Unless there is an absolutely cast-iron medical causation position, most companies will quite happily put up a fight against noise induced loss claims even if they breach their duty.

Sorry to burst your bubble - but I wouldn't get too excited.

 

Today's PPI cold calling and mass marketing is just yesterday's personal injury claims.     Tomorrow's cold calling is already being developed - Data Breach Claims will be the next big thing.    After that, already simmering on the back burner is pension misselling.. 

 

The calls are set to continue im afraid.  Its an ever evolving process.

I think that comment just got a big 'WOOOSH' Janus.
