As we have found out on here most single premium PPI policies only cover the first 5 years of any loan and they incur interest for the full term of the loan.

I have just worked out how much my PPI would have cost if I has covered the full 160 months of my loan. It would have been £24,000 for a £17,000 loan.

Ridiculous.

    "Everyones" is ridiculous Di. Its not just mine its every single premium 5 year policy that is like this. I just wanted to vent as I have read about a couple of the banks asking for not banning the sale of PPI at the time of a loan. How can they try and defend this and state that they are FAIR...????

    Thats loads. i have dug out my welcome finance loan document. I borrows £700 over 18 months and the PPI (compulsary) was £950 I settled the loan after 9 payments of £86.12 and the settlement fig was apparently £1009.26. How can that be fair or justified??
