Can I reclaim PPI thru the Broker

Hi, wonder if you can help. I took out a secured loan with a lump sum insurance policy which I had to pay in full when I paid the loan off. I have contacted the provider to register a mis selling claim, however they have told me they would not be liable as the loan was arranged through a broker and have told me to contact the broker directly. The problem is the broker is no longer in business, does anyone know what I can do? Thanks

    If the insurance really was not arranged by the lender, it happens now and again, go after the insurance company. I would make sure that the lender is not really at fault as this is where the buck normally stops.
    I am a former Broker, former IFA and former compliance officer, for my sins.

    However, I have since seen the light.

    If it was taken out since Jan 2005 then you could have seen if the FSCS covered them but definately would not as 2002.

    I would suggest asking FOS if they would take the complaint against the insurer as that is what FOS are looking into now and have accepted quite a few complaints like this. DO you know who the insurer/underwriter was?

    Is it current or redeemed? If redeemed, what year?

    Hi there I would contact them for the policy details, ask them to send them in the post, they should do this on request and the insurer details should be enclosed on the policy of whom you should write to.;)
