Payment Protection is an insurance policy intended to protect you, the consumer, in the event that you suddenly become unable to meet your loan or credit repayments. Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) was often sold alongside loans, credit cards and other financial agreements generating billions for banks. Unfortunately many consumers have found that despite paying their PPI premiums they have been left unprotected by their policy.
Thousands of our customers were unaware that their PPI agreement had been sold to them unfairly and that they were eligible for a substantial refund. Many were unaware that they had even taken out a PPI policy.
Do you know how much you paid for your PPI policy?
The Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) has found that the cost of PPI is extortionate and as a percentage of the actual loan/credit it can be as high as 56% of the amount borrowed!
