Aviva agreed to pay Mr Y the suggested £500. However, Mr Y did not accept the Adjudicator’s Opinion and the complaint was passed to me to consider. Mr Y argues that he should not have to repay the monies paid to him error because the error was made by Aviva. He says, in any event, he is not in a position to repay £23,231.42. I acknowledge Mr Y’s comments, but, I agree with the Adjudicator’s Opinion.
