PPI ClaimFrequently Asked Questions
What is PPI?
Payment Protection Insurance may have been sold to you when took out any kind of loan (Mortgages, Secured Loans (against property), Unsecured Loans & Hire Purchase Agreements (car or purchases)). It is a protection insurance sold to cover your monthly payments in case you have an accident, fall sick or become unemployed.
A single premium policy(also known as loan funded) means that you pay the full amount of the insurance up front. This is normally added to the debt, which means you end up paying interest for the term of the loan. Say for example , you took a loan of £5000, the insurance cost £1500, the total amount borrowed is £6500 and this is what you pay interest on. Most PPI policies only actually last for about 5 years or less. However, if the term of the loan is longer, you will still be paying interest even when the policy is no longer covering you
