In the case of accidents, sicknesses or redundancies the Payment Protection Insurance policy provides protection against payments owed if you find yourself in one of these unfortunate situations. Various credit card companies and banks offer these PPI policies as well as insurance provider agents who also offer the policy. A person who finds themselves unable to work and therefore make the repayments on their loan could benefit from a PPI policy and the peace of mind that it offers. The UK offers four different types of Payment Protection Insurance. These are Loan Payment Protection, Credit Card Protection, Mortgage Payment Protection and Short Term Income Protection Insurance.
However, whilst a PPI policy may benefit some, unfortunately many PPI policies were mis-sold to people at the time of the customer taking out the initial loan. This can occur if the sales adviser or provider fails to explain to you the details of the policy, as well as failing to check if you are eligible and whether or not the insurance policy is suitable for your requirements and situation. So if you have been mis-sold a policy it can be difficult to know where to start when you are considering making a decision to reclaim your PPI payments. This where PPI reclaiming companies come in, as they can do the hard work for you.
When reclaiming your PPI payments you only have a certain period of time in which you can do so. It is true that you can cancel your policy at any time, but you may not have even been aware you had a policy if the salesperson added it at the time of taking the loan without your knowledge. There are several organisations which help in reclaiming the PPI payments and help you get the money back to which you are rightly entitled. The payments will only be made if the person can give a reasonable cause as to why they should make a claim. The length of time that it can take to get the payments back varies; it is dependent on the response times of the lender, for example, and the complexity of each individual case. PPI reclaims are only applicable in certain situations, for example when the PPI is purchased on the loan at the same time as the loan is taken out. Any PPI policies that have been mis-sold are usually able to be claimed back, with interest.
Many people have benefited from the PPI reclaim service and even if you unsure whether or not you can even make a claim a simple enquiry with a PPI reclaim company will give you the answers that you require. You should go back through all of your paperwork from the last few years and check any loan agreements as you may not be aware if you have even paid for Payment Protection Insurance, if you have you could be in for a windfall.
