The Complete PPI Guide

Just when you think the PPI saga is about to wither away and never be heard from again, it comes back to life. This means that there is a lot of information circulating on the web that may now be out of date.

So we’ve rounded up everything you need to know about making a claim for mis-sold payment protection insurance (PPI)…

#1 If you have PPI, you PROBABLY have a claim for compensation

There were millions – about 34 million to be precise – of PPI policies sold, amounting to billions of pounds taken from customers by banks and lenders for an insurance policy that they didn’t want or need.

The majority of these PPI policies were sold erroneously - in other words, if you have PPI, the likelihood is you have a claim for compensation.

BUT…

This is not indicative that your claim will be successful. It pays to get all the information you need to make a claim and, more importantly, don’t spend the compensation before you are awarded it!

#2 If your bank wrote to you many years ago about PPI, you have a deadline to keep

Back in 2013, banks were told that in an effort to get customers to make claims for mis-sold PPI – some customers were not, and are still not aware that they were sold PPI – and thus, they started to trawl their databases. The letter had to encourage them to make a claim, but must not have looked or read like a marketing letter.

But, as soon as a customer received a letter, they had three years from the date of the letter to make a claim for PPI compensation.

If you had a letter or are unsure when the deadline is, you need to call PPI Scotland asap!
