Nowadays, carrying around a big amount of cash with you is very risky, not only because of the threats of being robbed but also because you can be the threat as well. Think about it, when you go out to the city, there are just so much to see that would entice you to spend money for a purchase, even if not immediately necessary or not needed at all. Overspending can lead to diminishing funds, even when one is still fresh from payday. This is the reason why people hardly are able to save up for their basic needs in shelter, above anything else. Thus, there is the issue of loaning money that could be paid month after month as the actual amount is broken down to bits, but with interest. However, in getting a loan, there is also the risk of being mis sold ppi, and here's why.
But first, what is ppi, or payment protection insurance? Basically, it is a protection for your loan in the event that you lose the capability to continue paying for your loan, whether in temporary or permanent terms. Among the said incidents may pertain to: (1) losing your job or being fired from work - if this happens, you will not earn money for your payments (2) you get sick, thus rendering you unable to work and useless for the mean time (3) something as extreme as death itself. However, there are several concerns that are circulating related to ppi. One of this is that people who got loans didn't have any clue that they can choose to get ppi from other providers, thus they are unable to canvass prices and see which one fits them the most in terms of scope privileges and budget.
Meanwhile, mis sold ppi is also common in the industry, and to think distributors of ppi earn billions in excess and yet they cannot offer what is right for the loaners. Now to probe a little deeper, there are different categories that a mis selling can be under in. It may be that the consumers weren't given any choice, and like what has been mentioned, information as to the existence of other options was withheld from them; they were made to believe that without the ppi as part of the package, the loan would charge higher; there will be no way that the transaction for the application will push through if consumers don't get the insurance.
The above mentioned are misleading in all aspects, and reclaiming a ppi can even go downhill once the application runs the risk of being rejected. Thus, it is important to know every transaction you have applied for to make certain that you don't undergo such troubles in the future. So what is the first step one must take to fix things? Well, you could write the bank or the distributor of the said insurance. There are available templates to use so that consumers won't have to start from scratch which could further delay what they want to do for remedy. However, the usual response may dwell more on the negative feedback, but compose yourself and do not give up the fight.
Persevere. If you have undergone a mis sold ppi and you personally think that you deserve better, write again. For a head's up though, 90% of the people who have done the same have had their requests accepted, so you need not panic immediately. Just make sure that your intentions are right and that you did nothing wrong, only made to do the decision that is not worth your money and attention.
