Mis-sold PPI Claims

You Could Be Entitled To Thousands Of Pounds If You've Been Mis-Sold A PPI Policy

One of the biggest financial scandals of recent years is that of PPI mis-selling. Mis-sold PPI, or Payment Protection Insurance, has been a hot topic in the news of late, especially since the PPI court case which saw the banks legally bound to pay compensation to consumers who had been affected by it.

You’ve probably heard about how the banks attempted to dodge their responsibility to borrowers they had wronged, how they took their case to court and subsequently lost, and how billions of pounds have now been set aside as a payout to customers who had been lumbered with mis-sold PPI.

What you may not be so certain of is exactly what PPI is, how mis-selling works and whether you too could be one of those eligible for compensation.

As part of our ongoing effort to keep people informed and up-to-date with vital legal topics, Law on the Web has put together a comprehensive explanation of the PPI mis-selling scandal, how you can find out if you have been affected, and what you can do if you have.

As with many such financial scandals, the mis-sold PPI debacle is a tale of greed, deception and intrigue – but in this case, the perpetrators have been brought to justice, and you could be owed thousands as a result. If you’re interested in finding out if you could be entitled to compensation, continue on to our What is PPI? section.

How can I reclaim?

Reclaiming PPI has been made a great deal easier since the Financial Services Authority ruled in favour of consumers in April 2011, opening the door for all who were mis-sold PPI to claim back their money.

You can initiate the process of claiming back your PPI on your own, by contacting your bank. If the bank shoots down your claim for PPI compensation, you can then take your claim to the Financial Ombudsman Service, which can look in to your complaint and see if the bank was right to reject your claim.

You also have the option of taking your claim to a claims management company – Law on the Web has partnered with one such company, Claims Financial.

Claims Management Companies

A claims management company can do all of the work for you – when you come to Claims Financial, all you need to do is fill in the form on their site. Once you have done this, they will contact your bank or mortgage provider – and, if necessary, the Financial Ombudsman – for you.

Claims Financial’s service is no win no fee, which means you don’t pay anything upfront. You will only need to pay them if they can reclaim your mis-sold PPI, and they will only ever take a percentage of the compensation that you claim.
