UK Banks are now faced with the prospect of dealing with millions of PPI claims, due to the many cases of PPI mis selling. Policyholders have been clamoring whether they should claim back PPI. This can be done if they could prove that their PPI was indeed, mis sold.
A PPI is usually sold with a loan that has been taken out by borrowers. However, it can be bought separately. This is a service for the protection of your loan, that if in case you will become unemployed, your debt repayments will be covered by PPI. Many policyholders are confused about how they could make use of PPI for at times, they do not know that it was sold alongside their loan. If this comes about, then the policyholder is entitled to apply for PPI claim and can qualify for PPI refunds.
Reclaiming Mis Sold PPI
Most mis sold PPI cases is due to misunderstanding between the borrower and the person who sells it. This is because brokers hide the details of the contract of the policy. If you were offered a PPI and but not asked about your employment status, your capacity to pay, your age or whether you want to have it, this can be grounds to make payment protection insurance claims. Remember that your age is considered if you are to make a claim, those policyholders whose age is beyond the age limit of making a claim will be refused to reclaim PPI. Your capacity to pay should also be considered for it is vital for a lender to know whether their clients can make payments or not.
Issues of mis sold PPI have been rampant because many banks are selling them through brokers who work for commission based compensation. The money they could earn in selling PPI is what drives them to force its selling. Usually, they hide the details of the policy and ignore whether their client really need the policy or what. The dilemma is shouldered by their client for often, clients still pay their policy when they are done paying their loans. This is the most common why policyholders tend to make a PPI claim.
Using a PPI Claims Company
To establish PPI claims, you must write to the bank provider of PPI, so that they could see whether you have a point in your concerns. You will also need the assistance of a compensation solicitor. If the bank declined your claim, it could be helpful if you could have the Financial Ombudsman to look into your PPI reclaim.
