What is PPI?

PPI stands for Payment Protection Insurance. It is a type of insurance commonly added to loans, mortgages, credit cards and hire purchase agreements. PPI is designed to take over repayments if the borrower is unable to work due to unemployment or ill health.

Why is PPI so controversial?

The problem with PPI is the way in which it was sold. In 2006 The Citizens Advice Bureau launched a super complaint branding the sale of PPI 'the biggest protection racket of all time.' As a result of this complaint, The Office of Fair Trading and The Financial Services Authority released reports expressing concern that many people may have been mis-sold policies.

The reports opened the door for people who believe they have been Mis-sold ppi to make claim. In fact, the number of people making Payment Protection Insurance Claims has hit a record high as consumers turn on banks and demand their money back. In 2010 alone The Financial Ombudsman reviewed 49,196 cases of alleged mis-selling up from 31,066 in 2009. Belmont Thornton has already helped more than 60,000 people reclaim over £50 million from their lender and you could be just a click or a call away from starting your PPI claim.

How was PPI mis-sold?

There are many ways in which PPI policies have been mis-sold. Some examples include: staff using high pressure selling techniques or misleading people into believing they had an improved chance of being given credit if they took out insurance; policy conditions and exemptions not being fully explained and costs not being made clear.

It was also discovered that many banks were selling policies to people whose circumstances made them unsuitable. For example, people who were unemployed; retired or in full time education and who, therefore, did not need loss of employment cover. Most worrying of all, it has emerged that many people had PPI policies attached to their loans without being told. This means you may have been mis-sold Payment Protection Insurance and not even realise.
