Loan Payment Protection Claim
For several years running there has been a great deal of news involving the lending industry and their insistence on selling loan payment protection to borrowers who didn't want the cover, couldn't benefit from it or simply didn't know that they were buying it! Lenders used every trick in the book to rack up the sales and consumers paid the price, in more ways than one. Now because of greater public awareness, literally millions of individuals are claiming back bank charges that resulted from mis sold PPI. If you feel that you were mis sold PPI and are interested in filing a loan payment protection claim then there are just a few things you should be aware of.
How Loan Payment Protection Was Mis Sold
Before you can file a loan payment protection claim you need to be able to demonstrate how the insurance was mis sold. Sometimes it is easy to explain as the lender adds payment protection to the loan without telling the borrower they are doing so or perhaps has a 'tick off' box on the loan documents asking the borrower to opt out of cover. This clearly violates the rules for selling loan payment protection as this implies insurance is automatic rather than optional. Other times a lender will use tactics such as telling the consumer that he or she will have an easier time qualifying for the loan if insurance is purchased. Most of the time lenders fail to match the right insurance product to the consumer by failing to do a proper assessment interview or by failing to disclose pertinent details of the policy. Once you can explain how the lender mis sold the policy you are ready to claim back PPI.
