Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) Mis-selling
If you have taken out a loan, mortgage or credit card in recent years then it is possible that you are paying inappropriate Payment Protection Insurance (PPI).
PPI is a product sold by credit lenders to provide you with protection should an unforeseen change in your financial circumstances leave you unable to meet the loan repayments. There are clear rules that finance firms and lenders must adhere to when selling PPI polices. If you have taken out a policy and the seller didn’t stick to these rules then you may be entitled to compensation due to potential PPI misselling. Research by the Citizens Advice Bureau shows that there are as many as 20 million PPI policies currently active in the UK. However, fewer than half a million claims are made each year and one in every four claims is rejected by the insurer. In fact many of these are mis sold PPI policies have been mis-sold with in some cases the client not even being aware that they have it. PPI misselling can be common and for many people the insurance is unnecessary, unsuitable and hugely expensive.
