These days, several banks and other Loan offering companies aim in offering consumers with payment protection insurance policies.
These policies are absolutely different from those life insurance policies and tend to hit generally the self-employed, retired, the redundant, people with specific medical conditions, and unemployed.
These are in fact sold by the lenders whenever an individual takes a loan, mortgage, or a credit or store card.
Offered to cover repayments when an individual due to sickness or redundancy is unable to work, these policies are offered to make the borrower enjoy piece of mind whenever he falls ill.
But in actual, with only a third claims being successful, such payment protection insurance policies tend to offer piece of mind only to the management and shareholders of banks.
The problem arises when a bank hit innocents with high penalties and referral fees for not paying only a few pounds premium.
And this is the reason why these PPI policies instead of beneficial schemes for borrowers result in huge profits for banks and other lenders.
Unscrupulous lenders persuade many people regardless of whether such insurance is applicable to them or not.
And therefore there arises a need to ensure that the advice banks gave to customers in regard of buying PPI is suitable.
These days, to fight against such scandals, there exists various claim companies that are all set to help people for recovering their hard-earned money.
Banks and lenders generally do not pay back the money easily and they try their best to offer as less as possible.
But with the help of a good, reputed claim company, a fight can be fought against such big financial giants and a reasonable compensation could be won.
PPI is not always bad but there are certain times when it is mis-sold to the borrower.
Like selling it to an old aged who is either of unemployed, self-employed, redundant, retired or suffering from a serious medical condition is a mis-selling.
According to FSA guidelines, the cost of PPI is always calculated in the beginning of the loan agreement.
In case you were promised with a higher amount and you receive a small amount back, then you owe a bigger sum to the bank or the lending company.
Taking PPI is never compulsory, and therefore it does not mean that the bank imposes it on your loan or adds it to your account without telling you.
The policy and its terms and conditions are to be explained well in advance.
In absence of this or in any other case of mis-selling, the credit provider can anytime be fined by the FSA and you can claim back your hard-earned money back.
