Why Claim PPI Compensation?

Seeking compensation is a way of seeking justice. Although no crime has been committed, it is a civil matter and that means, your good faith was trampled on by your bank or lender, organisations who should and did know better.

Payment protection insurance (PPI) was a product that was mis-sold on a scale that is hard to imagine.

Ordinary people who trusted their bank to do the right thing by them, were taken advantage of and mis-sold an insurance policy. The truth is, you were unlikely to be able to make a successful claim on the policy but here’s the thing: the bank and/or lender knew this.

A poor product

It was a poor example of an insurance policy too. It was expensive and very poor value for money. People were paying large monthly premiums for a policy that just about covered the basics, but only if you were in the small group of policyholders who were actually covered by this policy.

Seek compensation, seek justice

Some people think that the good news stories belong to everyone else but them.

There are fantastic success stories; a self-employed business woman receiving £84,000 in compensation some years ago, couples receiving £27,000 from a PPI mis-sold to them via their mortgage product, a retired nurse received over £32,000… is your PPI story next?

Average PPI pay-out

The average payment, statisticians have calculated, is around £2,750. This was calculated by the number of policies known to have been sold divided by the number of policy holders of PPI.

You may get much more than this, or you may get less.

Putting you back to the financial position you would have been in

Compensation is something that many people seek for all kinds of reasons. The idea behind compensation is that any settlement or payment offered to you should not only be fair but put you back into the financial position you would have been in had you not been sold PPI.

This includes;

• All premiums you made to the bank or lender for the PPI policy
• Additional fees or costs that may have been incurred by the addition of PPI to your account
• Interest at a rate of 8%
