PPI will it ever reach an end date.

Probably due to the number of folks who have call screening and the fact there are so many restrictions on cold calling, plus emails get sent to spam, they now seem to have resorted to snail mail.

This week I have received two PPI claims forms through the post, already partially filled in with name and address. 😡 This means I can't just throw them straight into recycling but have to put them for shredding. Hopefully one day they will stop extending the deadline.🤞 There is also the issue that some elderly folk will be totally confused by them, if they have no one to ask. Particularly as the envelopes have urgent do not ignore plastered all over them.

Bearing in mind that these claims have been made for many years now I doubt that the banks are quids in.

It is just a last frantic attempt by the ambulance chasers to get the business before the deadline

They will only wriggle out of it if folk don't apply. I can say with 100% certainty I have never taken any out, but over the last few years must have received several hundred requests by email, phone and now post to fill in a claim form. They keep stating they can check if you are not sure if you ever had any, so no reason for anyone who is uncertain not to have a go.

So if I had taken any out, or wasn't sure, I would only have myself to blame for not claiming. I can't believe anyone still does not know about it.

Was never sold one and  dont know anyone in my immediate circle that was. Looking at the amounts paid out could the financial providers have sold so much?

The money is being  returned with high interest rates, mis selling insurance was being done on a huge scale.

When you see these claim firms wanting 35% of the claim, it’s a bit of a smack in the teeth! That is probably putting people off claiming- what’s the point?

Looking on the web the average for payouts seems to range between £2700 to £3300, depending on the source. So if you did not want to chase it yourself, even at. 35% commission you would end up with £1700 +. I would think that point enough.😀

It is so easy to do, no one should use a third party and lose more money in the process. Banks etc have their own claim forms that you can use.
