Hi, can anyone tell me the difference between MPI and PPI please

MPPI is a form of PPI.

Main reasons it has a lower success rate on complaints is that:
1 - MPPI tends to have less restrictions than loan or credit card PPI
2 - MPPI is nearly always set up correctly as monthly premium
3 - MPPI covers a major debt which would cause life changing issues if it could not be paid. So, is considered important
4 - Many MPPI are sold under advice and advice cases have better audit trails in general (FOS stats show just 0.2% of PPI complaints with them for 11/12 were advised).
5 - Most mortgage advisers didnt become regulated until 2005. So, that eliminates the ability to complain against most of them

Hi, I took out the paymentcare on a mortgage i had with Abbey, I been paying it for about 6 years and then the premium decreased. This seemed a bit stange to me, but I was paying less for the same product. They said something about it just being a better rate. I'm thinking now that the rate might have come down because of the whole PPI thing. Is this possible? If so would this be grounds to reclaim the higher rate I paid for the previous years? Any help would be greatly recieved.

MPPI does not have guaranteed rates. So, premiums can and will change. You tend to find they go up during periods of higher risk of claim and down in periods of lower risk of claim.

No. That would not make any sense.

If so would this be grounds to reclaim the higher rate I paid for the previous years?

No. A complaint about the product pricing would be rejected and as it is a commercial decision, the FOS would not investigate it either. The product did what the product is expected to do with regards to pricing.

Plus, bank products are typically expensive. You dont buy from a bank to get quality products or good pricing. So, it would be a futile complaint.

was it linked to your mortgage payment? ie on a variable rate that was going down. nothing you said suggested anything was mis-sold.
