LLoyds Business Loan ppi

Hi,I wonder if anyone could give me some advise please.


I was a sole trader of a business that I sold in 2004.I had 3 loans that were all front loaded with ppi and one of the loans rolled into the next.
I was told I could not have the loans without ppi.


Would I be able to reclaim ppi on these loans?.
I have a SAR from Lloyds and it has all the loan details on it.

    Are you certain this was PPI and not income protection? If these were actual Business loans then the Bank would indeed have informed you that they required you to take out income protection and you don't have any complaint I'm afraid.

    Just a quick update,




    I have been advised by Lloyds that they have upheld my complaint and a chq for over £8,000 is on its way to me .


    Business loan repayment insurance IS ppi on business loans and can be reclaimed in the same way as other ppi policies if mis sold to you on your business loan originally.


    Hope this helps others and to inform everyone not to always take the advise on this site as gospel as If I had just listened to the answers on my thread for help I would be much poorer today.

    Thanks for clarifying that and well done on your success. It will have been the front loading of the insurance on a chain of loans that swung it for you.

    As I said earlier in the thread, Banks DID often require income protection on business loans so it's not a mis-sale if they insisted on it.

    If it had been income protection, then the complaint would likely have failed. Upfront single premium and rolled into new loans is a pretty easy complaint to win.
