10 weeks
10 weeks and I finally have my cheque for ppi no compensation as promised if it went over the 8 weeks
AWFUL COMPANY
I applied for PPI in November 2018. Sent me letters asking for more information which I sent in. Didn't hear anything for months and when I rang was told no one to take my call. I spoke to someone eventually who said my paperwork had not been received so I resent it and then contacted them to confirm it had been received. I again eventually spoke to someone in April who told me a letter had been sent to me in February 2019 which I hadn't received, was told they would 're send it. They didn't! I have emailed them numerous times and rang with no joy. In August I contacted the ombudsmen about them I've had enough of lies, stalling tactics and being ignored. It is now October and 11 months has gone by since my original claim. I'm still waiting to hear the outcome of my complaint. This company is abysmal.
Appalling Company, steer clear but if they owe you money - Good luck!
As with lots of other people, I am waiting for a PPI refund that went back to 1993. I was told on 29th July that my cheque would be with me in 21 days however they didn't say which year this would be as I am still waiting. I can't get through on the phone, they cut me off after 30 minutes. This is absolutely appalling, they have had my money for a long time and are still hanging onto it. I have a PPI company working for me and they can't do anything either although they sent their invoice out pretty quickly too. I'm at a loss as to how to get my money back now. Maybe Watchdog can help :(
Absolute waste of space waiting on ppi…
Absolute waste of space waiting on ppi phoned on numerous occasions to be past on to other departments then told I would receive a call back which never happened twice.Surely I should be able to claim more for there incompetence.And to top it off they are still sending my bill out on time what happens if I don’t pay it I will end up with a charge.No more custom from me absolutely fuming
Received letter 16 july was entitled to…
Received letter 16 july was entitled to ppi payment £800 said cheque would be with me 14 to21 days am still waiting rang numerous times kept waiting then told pack of lies like will be with you by end of week am fed up with this I am going to financial ombudsmen to see what advice they can give
I would have given no stars if…
I would have given no stars if possible. I ordered a buy now pay later item. I received an invoice the following month for a minimum payment of £3.75. I thought this was strange but was happy to pay £30 anyway so this is what I did. The following month I received my statement with a red ‘account in arrears, written on it. I queried this with customer services who told me that the £3.75 was in relation to p&p which as I paid £30 against the item not the p&p I was therefore in arrears. Even though with other buy now pay later purchases made with them p&p has been part of the buy now pay later deal which made this particular statement confusing. They were dismissive said they were right and put a missed payment mark on my Experian credit report. Will be closing my account with them and I will be taking to trading standards also
As with others awaiting PPI cheques…
As with others awaiting PPI cheques (x2!). Stay on phone for about 31 mins and they cut you off! On the odd occassion I have gor through they say someone will phone me - never happened. Text message 2 weeks ago said they'll have the cheques in 2 weeks....... C'mon Shop Direct play fair! You were quick enough to take my money now you should pay it back, So angry right now I think I might have to get the FOS.....
I am now starting to wonder if any…
I am now starting to wonder if any cheques are actually being issued. I have tried a ridiculous amount of times to get through via phone and either cannot get through of just get told a pack of lies. Fuming with shop direct :(
Told a manager would call be back on 5 occasions...still noone has called. What on earth do we have to do....if I knew where they were based I would go there in person to collect the cheque!

Still waiting for a ppi refund they agree I'm entitled too, on 20/7/19.
Has anyone actually received one?? 🤔
Can't get through on the phone.
After 30 mins hold they terminate call.

Told on 26th July I would receive a PPI refund via cheque within 21 days and I am still waiting. Now day 35. When I eventually got through to them they told me 21 days had now moved to 35 days and I would be sure to receive it by then. Still nothing. Try to call and get put on hold. Told waiting time no more than 10 minutes however I have been waiting over an hour on several occasions and cant get through. Please can anyone tell me if they have received their cheque as I am starting to worry it may never come. Terrible customer service - unable to get answers or speak to anyone.

Have been waiting for my ppi cheque for seven weeks. Have called them a few times and after being on hold for about 40 minutes they still have no idea where my cheque is. They keep moving the date further away of when I can expect it. Awful company
Absolutely disgusting company
Absolutely disgusting company. Owe me £4000 in PPI and waiting over 5 weeks for the cheques - when you call the call centre says there is no one to escalate the complaint to and they will ask finance to do a cheque trace but can't tell me when I will receive the cheque. What a joke. Now escalating to FOS as there is nowhere else to go - thieves and scammers, never shop with Littlewoods or Very.
Don't bother trying with a PPI refund…
Don't bother trying with a PPI refund from this joke of a company. Letter received within 8 week time frame saying would receive a cheque with 21 days. Suprise Suprise, nothing since. Now pushing 6-7 weeks after the first letter. Rung numerous times and all I am told is, we have passed this on and will call you by the end of today.. 5 days ago! Different people give you different answers all the time and seems like they can run wild as never a manager available.
Will definitely be escalating this higher.
No wonder i stopped shopping with them in the first place.
worst company ever
they will lie to you about your end date on a buy now pay later item so to con you out of more interest and then harress you for the money so much so you end up in hospital after having a heart attack even though they lied to you and you offered to pay the amount in full.worst company i have ever dealt with and they dont care about their customers at all
im so fed up with littlewoods they make…
im so fed up with littlewoods they make every thing hard work if some thing gos worng poor all the way for littlewoods

Provided my action fraud reference number, police reference number.. Experian to investigate.
For free items, simply use someone else's name, address and D.o.B the basics. Order items to a click and collect and that person is then liable to pay.
The person who frauded me even made 2 payments from their bank account then stopped, so they are now holding my credit ransom against me. So many bad reviews all over social media, of of similar stories please, please avoid.
