PPI Claims – Were You Mis Sold PPI?

August 3, 2010 | Author: AndrewThorn | Posted in Insurance

There has been quite a bit of controversy over recent years about payment protection insurance (PPI), mainly due to overzealous brokers making use of dishonest procedures when selling it to customers. The term now used for this activity is termed mis sold payment protection insurance or mis sold PPI.

In numerous cases of this mis-sold PPI, the loan providers would lie and tell the potential loan borrower that they would not be granted a loan without getting the PPI. This indeed was a falsity and a measure to deceive. In these cases, the borrowers that did agree to buy the PPI were charged a greater priced policy than if they had obtained PPI on their own.

Other borrowers may not even realize they purchased a payment protection insurance policy. It might be a wise choice if you had received a loan or mortgage and were never offered PPI to check and see if you are paying for a policy you never agreed too.

We have a short list of questions to ask to see if you were mis sold payment protection insurance.

* Did the lending company allow you to look into the policy terms and conditions before the close?
* Did the lender ask you if you owned some other insurance that would cover such risks?

* Were you told of the limitations and just what pre-existing conditions may not be covered?
* Did the lending company advise you on the the total APR would be of your loan with PPI incorporated?
* Finally, if you did purchase payment protection insurance and if you tried to cancel it, were you denied?
