How Can You Tell If You Were Mis-sold Ppi?

Many borrowers paid extra for Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) for the purpose of protecting themselves financially in case of dire economic hardships. However, there have been instances where the insured have sought to file a claim only to be denied. Upon careful examination, it is discovered they were denied because they were unfortunately (and possibly dishonestly) sold the coverage. Credit card companies, mortgage services, and other lending institutions have made PPI policies available to those worried about becoming unemployed, ill, or even physically incapacitated. Sadly, public records indicate many of these policies were mis-sold leading to the default on claims.

How can you tell if you have been mis-sold a PPI policy ? There are a great many mitigating factors that contribute to the outright mis-sale of a PPI policy. Sometimes, the lending service does not mention that coverage requires a single, upfront payment; the provider might not discuss all the terms and conditions located in the “fine print” of the agreement such as certain exclusions or issues surrounding pre-existing medical conditions; the lending institution's representative may have told deliberate untruths to get you to sign the policy; and so on.

Among the most common and egregious of all mis-selling of PPI is that the agent tells you such a policy is compulsory. This is completely false. There are no laws on the books compelling such coverage. Yet, there are those agents who frequently make such claims for the sole purpose of selling a PPI policy to those who are not eligible.

Essentially, being mis-sold a PPI policy generally revolves around negligent or deliberate omissions on the part of the policy provider. This leads to the insured party paying premiums on coverage that cannot be claimed. Such a problem has become quite common in recent years, which is why laws have been put into place to protect the claimant.

Where you not told that the self-employed or the retired may not need the policy or that there are certain loopholes attached when you are in such a position? If not then you likely may have been mis-sold a policy.

What happens if you have been mis-sold PPI Insurance? While the matter is a serious one, you need not become overly panicked. There are legal remedies available to you which include the ability to file a claim for a refund on your payments.
