Up to now it has been up to individual customers who think that they might have been mis-sold Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) to make a claim.  This they could do either personally or they could involve a company which specialises in this.  Unfortunately therein lies another dilemma, who to trust after the PPI fiasco?  Once bitten twice shy, but never fear there are lots of reputable companies working on a  no win no fee basis.   The problem with this set up is that millions of people are still blissfully unaware that they may be entitled to a refund as not many general customers who took out payment for a loan or purchase such as a TV actually read the financial papers and they may have missed all the news articles concerning this.

So what has changed as of now?  The banks and other lenders are now required to write to millions of their customers informing them that they might have been mis-sold PPI, most important is the stipulation that the communication must be written in clear language and be jargon and complication free.  It must also clearly state the time scales involved, in particular if there is a time limit involved in the making of a claim.

It is reckoned that the amount of compensation outstanding will well exceed the £1.9 billion paid out in 2011.  Another staggering statistic is the FSA expect that there will be between four million and 12 million letters sent out.

Thank goodness for common sense prevailing in an industry used to making all its own rules at the expense of its customers.

PPI, otherwise known as Payment protection Insurance is sold to you when taking out a credit agreement such as a loan, mortgage or credit card to cover you should you ever become unemployed, have an accident or any medical reasons to unable you to repay instalments back but in recent days has come to many peoples attention that it is not compulsory to have PPI. You could be paying up to 30% of your loan amount in insurance and you could have in fact been mis sold PPI when taking out the credit agreement in the first place.

If you have a think about when you took out your credit agreement, do any of these few examples sound familiar?

1)      At the time of loan agreement, you were told it was compulsory to have insurance.

2)      You weren’t informed that the policy was optional.

3)      The lender didn’t explain the policy or what it was used for.

4)      You felt pressured that you needed the insurance even though you would more than likely never use it.

You may also not even know about PPI and whether you have it or not so to check this have a look at your statements where they should be something stating Payment insurance, Loan insurance, Protection policy or something along these lines. If your still unsure whether you have it may be worth your while giving the original lender a call and asking them to find out. Don’t worry if the lender is now out of business as you still have a claim case and can do this through the financial services compensation scheme (FSCS).

Many claims can be made within the last 10 years of taking out the policy so its worth taking a look into old loans, credit cards or agreements and, if you have it take action to claim back your Mis sold PPI.

It is important to realise that the idea behind PPI is very sound.  Here is an insurance which will help people who have had to borrow money for a purchase; the amounts can vary from a few hundred to many thousands of pounds.  Should these borrowers then find themselves unable to make repayments for a variety of unforeseen reasons, then the insurance would help out with this.  This is a well-thought out strategy.  The problem is that it was badly handled by banks, lenders, credit card organisers and financial agencies.  They saw this as an opportunity to make a killing from unsuspecting customers, and their unprincipled attempts to profit from this are well documented.

In June 2011 there was a High Court Judicial Review which came down in favour of borrowers and the large banks such as Lloyds, RBS and HSBC decided to throw in the towel and not to resist looking at compensation for their borrowers.  Unsurprisingly other smaller institutions all followed suit.  This landmark case opened the floodgates for claims from members of the public.  Also unsurprising is the delays and obstruction put in place by the aforementioned institutions to hamper the payment of compensation.  This is now being addressed.

Did you realise that PPI is still available?  The answer which I am sure will amaze the majority is that yes it is.  Many large institutions believe that it this whole subject is so toxic they will not handle it.  It must be a difficult insurance to sell, however consumers should be aware that stringent rules have been put in place by the FSA to protect borrowers interests.  At the same time the Competition Commission is to introduce new rules about being able to sell PPI at the point of purchase.

For many thousands of consumers making relatively minor purchases which require moderate lending properly sold PPI could be a lifeline at this uncertain time.  So it is right that PPI should be alive and kicking.

A British bank has never attempted this before, but it can be safely assumed that this will just be the start, the other large banks such as RBS and HSBC will inevitably be forced to follow as the same situation exists in their institutions.  Lloyds stated that the bonuses in 2010 were in fact based on bonus pots which were inaccurate as a result of the mis-selling of PPI and the amounts that need to be set aside to make reparation to borrowers.  Lloyds Bank alone in fact has had to make a staggering £3.2 billion available for compensation.

Up until now the major banks and the other financial companies who were involved in selling PPI have appeared to hold all the trump cards against Joe Public, who has been grievously wronged.  There was very strong resistance to any compensation being paid out at all until a chink of light appeared in the end of the tunnel in June 2011.  The financial industry had been vociferously defending their rights and refusing to acknowledge culpability, when they lost a decision in the High Court.  A Judicial Review stated that the financial institutions should drag their heels no longer and should compensate all borrowers, large and small, who had been mis-sold PPI.

Still Goliath was reluctant and the Financial Ombudsman has been inundated with complaints by individuals who are experiencing horrendous problems trying to reclaim money that is rightfully theirs.  There have been several rulings from the Ombudsman, all favouring the little man, David.  It is going to take time, in fact the FOS (Financial Ombudsman Service) and the banks have all needed to employ extra staff to deal with this situation.

As for today’s news, it is a case of justice being seen to be done.  So well done David, Goliath, although not completely down on his knees is hopefully well and truly on his way there.
