How to Reclaim PPI Charges Successfully!
If you believe you are entitled to reclaim PPI charges thanks to being mis-sold a policy you need to seek expert help. The subject of PPI has become one of great controversy recently and there are many people who have yet to discover they have a right to reclaim costs from illegally sold policies. The controversy began a few years ago when the powers that be that regulate the financial services industry acted on a number of complaints alleging the mis-selling of such policies, and found that the complaints were very real indeed.
Payment protection insurance, to give PPI its full title, is a term that covers a variety of insurance policies that are common in consumer finance. The PPI policy is designed to give a borrower who, through no fault of their own, finds they are out of work a way of keeping up payments on a loan, mortgage or other credit agreement. If you have taken out such a loan in recent years you may have agreed to a policy of this sort, and it may not have been sold to you in the correct manner.

It has always been the right of the consumer to shop around for the very best insurance deal, yet the investigation into the complaints discovered that some lenders – including some very well known high street names – were not giving borrowers the opportunity to do so. Instead they were making it clear – and wrongly so – that in order to take out the loan the borrower needed to take on a branded own name PPI policy. This practice has now been completely outlawed thanks to a widespread review of the regulations surrounding consumer finance lending. It is now against the law to sell a borrower a PPI policy at the point of sale of the loan or within a set number of days of the loan being granted, a move designed to give the customer greater peace of mind and freedom of choice.
Being able to reclaim PPI charges for policies that were mis-sold – and some people were not even told they were paying into a policy – is the right of the consumer and there is a great deal of available help for those who wish to pursue a claim. You need to check all if your recent loans and other credit agreements in order to see if you can reclaim PPI costs that were attached to a mis-sold policy.
