What Exactly Are Your Chances For Ppi Claims?

In case you took out your loan or credit card, the cost of the ppi policy and how it worked wasn't adequately explained to you, you can create ppi claims since there is a possibility that this was mis-sold to you. If you were told that you may only take the loan if ppi cover is going to be taken out, as on some application forms, the ppi box was pre-ticked, you could have a case of mis-sold product and may be able to make ppi claims because of this. Also, if you didn't have a job when you were sold the policy or were self employed, then ppi was not ideal to you and you will probably never benefit with its cover so you have a valid ppi claims.

For those who have a single premium policy, rather than regular premium, this may be a foundation for pp claims. The Financial Services Authority (FSA) and ppi related firms agreed that borrowers who had cancelled their single premium policies needs to have ppi claims overturning the previous no claim policy of those products. This means that if you have cancelled a single premium policy for any reason, you can now have ppi claims a proportional refund, plus interest.

Write to your lender using a copy of the FSA announcement if it is a single premium policy if you need to begin your ppi claims and ask for a review of your case. If your lender rejects your request, take your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service. If you want to check the cost of your policy, ask your lender to send you a breakdown of the account. You will need all the paperwork to start your ppi claims because the details of your loan agreement should be reviewed.

So far, the Financial Ombudsman Service has upheld around 80% of ppi cases, to ensure you stand a good chance in case your ppi claims are fair. If it's a mis-selling ppi claims you are entitled to a full reimbursement of the money you paid for a policy; if it's a single premium policy, you may get your interest repaid. However, if you have previously received a payout on your policy, you wouldn't be entitled to refund.
