PPI Claims

You’ve heard it already. A PPI may seem beneficial due to the sugar-coated offers that it can provide. But if you look closely, you’ll see how much this policy has robbed you of your right to get the policies that you truly need.



If you still don’t have any idea, a PPI or a payment protection insurance is an add-on to the loans that you apply for. In the UK, a lot of the loans that people get have protection policies in them. Most of the time, people don’t even know why they have this insurance connected with their loans. And worse, some people didn’t even know they had it.

The initial idea behind PPI policies was that they are needed to help the individual compensate for any failure of reimbursement of loan payments due to certain instances that may occur. In this case, when a person is either involved in an accident or has contracted some kind of sickness and is incapable of earning any salary during a given period, his payment protection insurance come sin to play as it pays the bank off for a course not beyond twelve months. This way, the money continues to circulate.

The thing that strikes out when it comes to PPI is that even individuals who don’t really need it get to have these policies. Self-employed individuals such as entrepreneurs like Jason Hope or even retirees are the most common victims to such. With so many people trying to refund their PPI claims, most of them get their complaints rejected even before they pass through the second screening. In the end though, the FSA has found another way to give back to the loaners the money that they have lost from the PPI by compensating them with fixed amounts. This is a far cry from what they are supposed to get from banks, as it is clear that the money given by the FSA is not even close to the amount that people lost from the loans.
