When it comes to PPI reclaims, there are a few ways you can go about it.
You may decide to work with third party companies who will make the claim for you, or do it yourself.
Working with a third party company is easy as most of the paperwork is done for you. The company however takes huge chunks of the compensation as part of the service fee. Most people prefer working with these companies as they have qualified employees who know just how to go about the whole issue and how to avoid loopholes that may prevent one from getting the refund. There is however a way you can do it yourself and see the PPI reclaims goes through without a hitch.
The PPI reclaims are made once one has cleared repaying a loan, mortgage or credit card debts.
This is after you have found out that you were mis-sold the PPI insurance and are rightfully in a position to ask for refunds.
You will first have to consult your lender by writing them a letter. They should provide you with a copy of the policy where you will determine whether you were mis-sold the PPI or not. Once you have made your discovery of mis-selling, you will need to write another letter to the same company informing them of the issue. Most companies will reject this claim for many reasons. It could be because they need more clarification or because they simply want to keep the benefits to themselves. If this happens, simply write another letter and show the reason you think you were mis-sold and tell them to settle the claim after 2 weeks or less.
If they still reject the claim, you will be forced to get help from the Financial Ombudsman. This is a service provider agency that will take up your case to ensure the lender refunds what’s rightfully yours.
Most people end up giving up on the whole thing right after their lenders reject their claims. This is usually so because they assume the lender, being a huge institution is right to say that the PPI was not mis-sold. There are those who see it as a tedious task and quit along the way when they see no easy possibility of getting a refund.What you need to do is go in full confidence that you are right on the PPI reclaims and be sure you will win. The trick is simply persisting and making sure you go all the way with the claim.
The money you get as compensation from these reclaims can add up to thousands depending on the type of loan and lender you were working with. All you have to do is go through with the whole thing and get the PPI claim accepted.
