File A Claim and At the End of the Fight, Get PPI Refunds

We were mostly tricked into getting PPI when we asked banks for loans and asked for possible alternatives to paying them back in case situations won’t allow us to be able to pay them. They give us the worst situations or just plain lie about the policy itself and this is what makes PPI refunds a must for those who have been mis sold PPI. If you don’t know how to do it yourself or afraid to do it on your own because of the high risk rate at the FSO, file it with a claims management company so that they can take care of it for you. Rather than getting lesser than what you deserve, get them to get the money for you.

Whenever you go for financial assistance to any bank or a financial company, the first thing that they ask you about is the alternative arrangements that you have for paying them back in case your primary arrangements don’t work. Banks are pretty good at creating elaborate situations wherein you cannot pay back your loan and the dire consequences you may face if you are caught in them the worst being the decrease in your credit rating and foreclosure (in case of mortgage loans). Of course you don’t think twice in such a situation and go for the first payment protection plan (PPI) that they offer. This is where it all mis sold PPI problems and soon to be a case for PPI refunds starts.

It is not that all PPIs are dupe-documents and are forcefully taken from unsuspecting customer; however, most of them are. And check twice, may be you have been taken in for a ride too. PPI claims is the answer to such misleading PPIs and a chance to reclaim your money back with a standard 8 percent interest on your premium payments. This is why PPI refunds are needed for such situations.

There are many circumstances in which a PPI may be wrongly sold; the most common among them is when, a) You are unemployed or self employed when you take the loan, b) You have a medical condition which makes you ineligible to get the claim, c) A PPI was stated as a precondition for the approval of your loan and, d) You had other existing policies to cover the payment and did not need PPI. In all such cases which come under the fraudulent selling of the PPI, you are entitled to a PPI claim for full PPI refunds with interest on all your premiums from the bank which gave you the policy (the lender). Remember, claiming these claims is completely risk free and does not affect your credit rating in any which way.

All banks have different procedures to make a claim; generally, the claims are made through the Financial Service Ombudsmen (FSO) present at the bank which provides the compensation. They study all PPI claims and based on the application decide which applicant is entitled to the application, hence, you should provide all documentary evidence of the fraud to build a strong case. Most banks are finicky in accepting these claims and thus you need to make a strong applications for your PPI refunds.

This process through the FSO is usually long and most of the times results in rejection or payment of a much lesser compensation amount. A better bet is to go through PPI claims service companies who have strong legal departments and are thus better suited to fight a PPI refunds case for you than you are by yourself. These companies (most of them) work on a pay-only-when-you-win basis, which means that you only pay when you get a claim amount from the bank and not otherwise, i.e. there is no upfront payment in making the PPI claim. They charge anything from 15-25 percent of the claim amount plus VAT and take care of all your claim related needs. These companies are better suited for your claim process as they specialise in them and hence can counter all the bogus counter-claims made by your bank. They also make sure that you get the right compensation and not some arbitrary amount set by the bank. In short, they are your specialised hand in getting back money that is rightfully yours.
