If you've taken out a loan, credit card or mortgage in the last 10 years, you may have been mis-sold PPI.
Lloyds, RBS, Barclays and HSBC have admited that PPI has been missold and have put £5bn aside to compensate PPI customers.
Payment Protection Insurance (also called PPI) is a very common financial services product attached to insurance policies.
It is a form of insurance cover sold with mortgages, credit cards, personal loans and other products.
Payment Protection Insurance is supposed to cover the borrower if he or she is unable to meet repayments due to unexpected circumstances.
The reason why a consumer could claim their PPI back is if they feel they were mis-sold the product.
Most people aren't aware that they have PPI. It is often added without the knowledge of the borrower and should protect them if they lose their job because of an accident, illness or redundancy.
Unfortunately when it comes to making a claim, most borrowers find that 'the small print' contains many exclusions that make the PPI cover worthless!
