PPI was mis-sold on a huge scale. The product was expensive for
the little cover that it offered but, it was the way in which it
was sold that now means people are claiming their money back in
droves - the tune of £300+ million per month.
Questions were asked and answered sought as to the how and why
something of this scale could happen.
HOW did banks mis-selling PPI?
In the main, banks and lenders werenot fully explaining the
policyto customers. For example, if you were self-employed, to
claim on the policy you would have to shut your business down in
the hope that your claim was one of the 15% successful ones made
against the policy. Would you take that chance?
There were other mis-selling reasons - call the team at Payment
Protection Scotland.
WHY did the banking industry culture add to the problem?
PPI was a product that the bank liked because for each sale they
made a significant profit, up to 80% profit in some cases.
Employees or brokers selling the policies - either face to face
or over the phone - were also making great commissions, adding as
much as 67% on to the cost of the PPI policy making it an expensive
but lucrative product.
Customers are now receiving the commission payments back too.

WHY has a PPI deadline been introduced?
The PPI deadline has been introduced, says the Financial Conduct
Authority, to 'draw a line under the whole issue'. It also believes
that by introducing a PPI deadline in August 2019 that customers
who are yet to claim will make a decision.
It could flood the PPI compensation claim system and the figures
released by the FCA already show that since October 2017, the
number of successful claims has been higher than previous
months.
HOW is the PPI deadline being introduced?
You have until 11.59pm on 29th August 2019 to lodge
your PPI complaint about a policy that you believe was mis-sold to
you before July 2017.
