The PPI Scandal Explained

Many customers of Northern Rock and other high street lenders have been mis-sold Payment Protection Insurance as a value-added service to their credit agreements over the last ten years and are only now seeking compensation for one of the biggest banking scandals of the last decade. The insurance is designed to protect your payments should you fall ill or lose your job whilst indebted to the bank. However, Northern Rock, along with the rest of the major lenders, has frequently mis-sold policies to customers who are self-employed or otherwise unable to meet the criteria for the policy. Some customers were not even aware that they had bought the insurance, whilst others were not informed properly of its conditions. This has led to a full investigation by the Financial Services Authority, culminating in a ruling by the High Court in April 2011 that all banks must be clear on the features PPI policies. Banks have put aside up to £9 billion to compensate customers, and have been slowly acting on the FSA’s declarations that they should actively investigate claims from agreements already spent as well as those previously rejected.
