PPI covers you for your monthly repayments for a set period to the bank or the financial institution for your loans or other borrowings
PPI insures you against you not being able to pay the agreed sum due to valid reasons. A valid reason means the reasons that are covered by the payment protection insurance. It can be due to:-
In case of unemployment an investigation is done to find out what the circumstances are.
PPI or Payment protection insurance often sold alongside a credit product and may be sold without a persons knowledge.
PPI is often missold by an company stating that the PPI is a mandatory part of the actual borrowing product.
First and foremost you need to identify the PPI seller because whatever steps you have to undertake will be against this organisation. Write to them stating that you would like to get your PPI charges back. There are many cases where the organisation may ignore requests or make a negative response at this stage. If this happens you should follow up the matter or make a complaint.
If you are unsatisfied you can make a complaint to the FOS (Financial Ombudsman Service). The FOS goes through the details of the claim and then takes necessary actions against the respective financial institution. Do not forget to send all policy documents for inspections and other supporting documents for your cause to the FOS.
In some cases it may be better to go to a PPI claim specialist or a PPI claim lawyer with special expertise in claiming PPI.
The success rate of PPI payment protection claims is increasing every day and more and more people are being successful .
