How PPI is Mis-sold

Posted by tfsguru on July 30th, 2010 | tags:

Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) policies, as their name suggests, are assumed to protect credit consumers from defaulting on credit or loan payments due to unexpected incidents such as job loss or disability. When PPI’s are mis-sold, however, they can cause a lot more harm than good to a borrower’s financial status. The fortunate news is that money lost to insurance mis-selling can be demanded back and knowing how PPI is mis-sold can help determine the strength of your claim or otherwise.
 
Submitting mis-sold PPI claims can be based on some reasons found to be common among the experiences of many other complainants. PPI’s are often sold during application for a loan or credit card. When you sign up for any PPI, the lender must advise you about its inclusion in your application, what it is for, and that additional fees or insurance payments will consequently be charged to your account. While a lender may indicate the addition of credit insurance in certain instances, they are required to discuss the terms of the policy in detail and may not threaten you with rejection of your loan application should you refuse to subscribe to it. A person who is not employed on a regular basis, is self-practicing or hired under contractual arrangements cannot expect a PPI claim approval and should therefore not be sold PPI’s to. If you are a student paying off loans or credit card bills, make sure that your monthly dues are not compounded by PPI coverage payments as you will not be eligible for its benefits at all. Medical conditions that are established to be present prior to signing up for credit insurance will discredit any claims for financial aid as well and no one in such a situation should be forced to pay for it.
 
PPI claims advisors would provide you with the assistance you need in assessing your situation and making sure you have adequate reasons to file a complaint against mis-sold loan insurance. Keep in mind that the process of recovering your money may take a long while, requiring much patience on your part. Information on how PPI is mis-sold can be very useful to people that you know and sharing what you have learned should bring any credit consumer a step closer to winning the fight against insurance mis-selling and force lenders to put a stop to it.
