Making PPI Claims Is More Straightforward Than You Think
If you have had a loan, mortgage or credit card with which you were sold payment protection insurance you may be eligible to make a claim. PPI claims are simple to make, though first you need to work out whether you will be eligible for compensation.
Have a look back at your old credit card or loan statements, to check that PPI was added. Now you need to think about the circumstances in which you were sold your PPI – try and remember if it was over the phone or in a face to face meeting, and think carefully about the information you were given. You will be eligible for PPI claims if you didn’t know that it had been added to your loan, if you weren’t told that PPI could be bought at a lower price elsewhere, or if you were told that buying PPI could improve your chances of being granted the loan. If any of this sounds familiar, then you could be eligible for PPI claims – essentially, if you were misinformed about any aspect of your PPI purchase.
If you think you might be eligible to claim compensation, look for a company that has experience in handling PPI claims. Use a search engine to generate a range of results to look through, and keep an eye out for professional looking websites with plenty of information for you to read through. You might be able to further define your eligibility for a claim, and see if you can find any case studies or evidence of their success rate in claiming compensation.
The next step is to make contact – look for a contact number or email address that you can call or write to, alternatively see if you can find an online form where you will submit your details, and the PPI company can call you back. If you are at all unsure about your eligibility for PPI claims then it is the time to double check and get some no obligation advice. You should also ask about fees at this point too. Most compensation claims work on a ‘no win no fee’ basis, but this can vary from company to company, so do double check this before you go ahead with your claim. Successful PPI claims will be subject to a charge, and this is usually a percentage of the total amount that you are awarded. Again, check this before you start so that you are aware of exactly what is included and what fees you will need to pay should you be successful.
Good communication is essential during PPI claims – when you are getting advice and speaking to a PPI claims company, see how effective they are at communicating and how willing they are to give the time to reassure and explain things to you. You will want to keep in touch throughout your claim to see how things are progressing, and you need to find a company that you feel comfortable to hand your claim over to – use your instincts and pick a company that you trust.
